She's one of the biggest pop stars on the planet right now and Dua Lipa made sure she shone bright on the Brit Awards red carpet on Tuesday in London.

The 25-year-old "New Rules" singer was simply stunning in a yellow mini dress that featured a nipped-in waist and a dramatic train.

Oh, beehive

The custom Vivienne Westwood gown showcased Dua's décolletage with its iconic corsetted, off-the-shoulder design, drawing the eye to her pearl choker necklace.

She paired the fun frock with some seriously sexy black suspender stockings and a pair of chunky lace-up heels.

But it was the chart-topper's retro beehive hairdo that really set her look apart from the rest of the famous faces on the night.

Channeling Amy

Dua's fans couldn't get enough of her bold Brits outfit, with masses taking to Instagram to share their compliments.

"Always perfect," one gushed on a photo shared on the official Brit Awards account.

"She looks like a queen," added another.

"Oh wow she looks hot," remarked a third.

More than one fan thought Dua's look — particularly her eye-catching 'do — was a nod to another late great British artist.

"Getting Amy Winehouse feels," one wrote.

Dua wasn't just a winner in the style stakes and scooped two awards on the night including British Album of the Year for Future Nostalgia, bringing her Brit Awards total to five.

Brit Awards: Best of the rest
