Dua Lipa looked incredible as she took to the runway in Cannes with Donatella Versace on Tuesday to promote her brand new collection with the brand.

The singer, 27, proudly flashed a huge smile as she held hands with the Italian fashion designer, 68, as they strutted down the outdoor runway together.

Their sweet display of unity came as they debuted their co-designed La Vacanza collection in Cannes during a scenic fashion show.

Showing off her collection, Dua flaunted her incredible figure in a £5,360 black gown with daring cutouts across the bodice and crossover halter-neck straps.

She gave herself a few extra inches in a pair of coordinated black heels and accessorised with statement Medusa stud earrings, costing £550.

Dua styled her glossy raven locks in a straight fashion across her shoulders and opted for a smokey-eye make-up palette for the occasion.

She looked proud of her new collection as she flashed a warm smile and waved at the crowds while sweetly walking hand-in-hand with Donatella to close out the show.

Donatella looked equally as glamorous in a one-shouldered gown embellished with colourful iridescent paneling.

She added some height to her frame with a pair of black buckled platform heels and let her statement outfit do all the talking.

The fashion legend styled her golden tresses loosely across her shoulders and completed her look with a touch of smokey eyeshadow.

A whole host of glamorous models were also seen taking to the catwalk to show off items from Dua and Donatella's co-designed collection.

They debuted colourful ensembles from pink suits to sparkling dresses and trendy bralets and mini skirts as they strutted their stuff down the centre of a pool.

The lavish collection, with items ranging £160 from to £18,480, is vacation-inspired and Dua modeled a few of the pieces in an array of promotional snaps shared to Instagram on Tuesday.

The title of the collaborative line, La Vacanza, means vacation in Italian, and has dropped just in time for the summer season which is right around the corner. 

In the first black and white snap, she donned a long-sleeved, butterfly crop top that flaunted her toned midriff and can be purchased for $1,525, according to the brand's official website.

Dua additionally slipped into a matching, $1,450 midi knotted skirt while striking a pose outdoors and sipping from a martini glass.

The black material contains white polka patterns along with colorful butterfly motifs throughout the fabric. 

In the second picture, Lipa posed on a pastel pink couch while sporting a butterfly, one-piece swimsuit, which is priced at $1,150. 

The Cold Heart songstress leaned slightly forward to rest her elbows on top of her thighs and gazed towards the camera. She held a $2,025 tote bag in her hands that contained the word 'Versace' in white lettering on the front. 

To complete the overall summer look, the beauty slipped into a pair of open-toed, $675 heels. Dua accessorized her look with an assortment of butterfly bracelets and earrings to coincide with the theme of some of the pieces in the collection. 

Her long brunette locks were slicked back into a high ponytail, allowing the strands to fall down behind her.

The performer later wowed in a backless $5,475 Medusa vest dress as she posed outside with the warm sun shining down on her in an additional black and white photo. 

The halter-styled ensemble clung to her physique as she turned away from the camera and looked over her right shoulder for a sultry flare.

Dua added one more photo to the carousel of snaps, and donned a figure-hugging, colorful dress that contained thin straps that wrapped around her shoulders.  

The gown contained a plunging, V-neck cut and was bedazzled with flashy pieces of jewelry, such as a large choker necklace. The collection contains a variety of items, such as dresses, swimwear, purses, as well as shoes and accessories. 

In the caption of the post, the singer penned to her fans, 'LA VACANZA ~ a co designed collection by yours truly and @donatella_versace' and later gushed, 'WHAT A DREAM!!!' 

The pieces were debuted during a Versace fashion show during the Cannes Film Festival on Tuesday, with models such as Irina Shayk, sporting some of the items at a waterfront mansion, according to Harper's Bazaar.  

Shortly before the star-studded runway show commenced, Dua opened up about the collection during a press conference, per the outlet.  

'We wanted to make the holiday wardrobe and something that I’ll wear all summer, but also something other people will love and enjoy,' the One Kiss hitmaker stated, adding that she began to draw sketches for Donatella last fall. 

She then gushed about working alongside the renowned creative director of the Italian brand. 'We had such a common language, we could just bounce ideas off each other.'

Donatella, who has helmed the brand since 1997, expressed that the collection embodies, 'freedom, fun, and confidence.' 

In a past statement, the designer expressed her excitement about working closely with Dua. 'I have always been inspired by a collaborative design process.' 

'Working with Dua on this collection has been very exciting and I love the dynamic between us. Dua is strong, fearless, and free and her creative vision is exceptional,' she continued at the time, per Harper's Bazaar. 

The songstress also gushed about her collaboration with Donatella in a statement of her own and revealed how 'thrilled' she was. 

'She and I have formed such a strong bond over the years, and I’m so grateful for the support I’ve received from her and the whole team since the very beginning of my career' and that the experience has been 'a dream.' 

The Grammy winner is no stranger to the world of Versace, and has sat front row at numerous runway shows for the brand, such as the recent Fall/Winter 2023 presentation in March, which notably brought a number of other celebrities, such as Miley Cyrus and Demi Moore.
