Read the blog about Dua Lipa's style and decide if the statements are true or false. Is there a famous person whose style you like? Make any changes you need and use it for your oral production.

Dua Lipa is so fashionable! I like her style because she can mix casual and elegant clothes without looking strange. She actually looks great! For example, she sometimes wears sneakers on the red carpet together with a leather jacket. When she's on stage, on the contrary, she's very elegant and prefers snug dresses. If you look at her photographs, you can easily see she's a fan of jewellery. She also wears strange pieces – chunky necklaces and colourful rings in bright colours like yellow, red and green. My favourite look is the black dress chosen for her visit to Paris some time ago. The purple brooch on the dress is fantastic and really chic.
