Nasty Gal are fast becoming the queens of collaborations, and this latest one has got us falling over the fashionista involved. It's only Dua Lipa's insanely stylish little sister.

Rising star and long-time fan of the brand, Rina Lipa has curated a summer collection with the international e-tailer, featuring her summer favourites. 

What are her summer favourites have immediately become ours, because they're so damn gorgeous; From oversized acid wash denim and bralets to crop tops and urban tracksuit chic, we're sold.

The 18-year-old joined forces to work on the summer capsule campaign and product direction, working closely with the buying team to edit and self-style the best looks possible.

Did we mention she did this while sitting her A-Levels? The gal really knows how to multi-task. With a cool 659,000 Instagram followers to her name, she's looking to break into the acting world.

Nasty Gal was inspired by Rina's own laid-back style, and 1990s nostalgia. The range features androgynous oversized blazers with fierce tailoring, bralets, badass ripped denim, casual biker shorts and floral mini-dresses.

The youngster's eclectic personal style embodies the confident and carefree attitude of the clothing line itself, featuring hero pieces updated with mesh crop tops, embroidered dresses and oversized denim.

Speaking about her collaboration, Rina said;

“I loved working with Nasty Gal and the incredible dream team that helped this all come together. Exploring Venice Beach and LA with them for my first time there was surreal."

She told Miss Vogue: "I had never been to LA so it felt really authentic to keep the Nasty Gal origins in the place we shot. Everyone was really nice so it was a really comfortable environment."

Shot at Venice Beach by Felisha Tolentino, the clothes give the vibe of 90s hip-hop, reminiscent of the late Aaliyah's iconic looks. 

"I think the collection is quite versatile for everyone," Rina told Miss Vogue.

"I think people could pair it with different things. It doesn’t have to be the whole outfit. But people have different senses of style, and they could also wear it completely."

"With age and being surrounded by different influences, now I go for a more baggy look, more urban, more colourful… I’m always a bit overdressed but that’s me."

The product ranges from €10 up to €60 and is available in UK sizes 6-22, so anyone and everyone can get involved in Rina's introduction to the fashion world.

Born in London to Kosovan-Albanian parents, the sister of Grammy-winning artist Dua Lipa is heavily inspired by her older sibling's fierce style. 

Dua's got her clothes organised in her own calendar, with a huge amount of designers chasing her up. Does Rina ever raid her sister's wardrobe though? You'd have to do it.

"I go in… and it’s just the best thing ever. I think it happened even before Dua started her career. I would go in and steal all her clothes and, as we’ve got a five-year gap, when I wore her clothes I felt older, I felt like I could go hang out with her friends," she said.

It's definitely not the last we'll be seeing of Rina, seeing as she's just begun accepting acting roles.

Her career is about to blow up, just like her style.

The family wedding – where even the most relaxed of brides lives in fear of being outshone by a hot cousin in a dangerously low dress.

So understandably, we really feel for Rita Ora’s kin: because walking down the aisle watched by a superstar singer AND a reigning X Factor judge has got to be tough.

Not least when she’s wearing a plunging red satin dress.

Yes, Rita looked at sorts of incredible attending the wedding of her cousin Filiz Salihu to Arlit Kastrati in the Kosovo capital of Pristina earlier this month.

As well as that dress, she had her long, blonde hair styled in soft waves and piled on eye-catching accessories, including a €6,000 gold Juste Un Clou bracelet by Cartier.

Overall, it was clearly a seriously stylish affair too, with guests donning a range of floor-length and black-tie attire.

And undeniably, bride Arlit looked stunning herself: she wore a full-skirted white dress with metallic beading detail.

The lace-adorned bodice furthermore left her back exposed, and she completed her bridel look with a tiara amid her blonde hair.

Now in the midst of X Factor filming, 24-year-old Ms Ora also shared a gorgeous black-and-white snap on Instagram from the evening, captioning it “the wedding was surreal”.

Having just recently launched another Rita Ora X Addidas collection, she was in Hong Kong late last week, but jetted back into London on Saturday in time for the reality TV talent show.

There, she lines up alongside Cheryl Fernandez Versini, Nick Grimshaw and, of course, Simon Cowell. This year, Ms Ora has been assigned the Girls group. 

She recently took them to Los Angeles for the judges' houses segment of the show, which will be broadcast next weekend.
