The 21-year-old New Zealander has included a lilac coat from the Emirati brand in her Melodrama tour, which kicked off in the US last week.
The silk long-length piece could be spied in the singer’s Instagram snaps from the tour’s first night, which took place in Wisconsin on Thursday.
You can steal the star’s style as the belted design, which costs Dhs3,620, can be snapped up at ounass.ae and bysymphony.com.

The Dubai-based designer, who studied at prestigious French fashion college Esmod, is famed for her uber-feminine silhouettes and juxtaposition of textures, with the brand picked up by fashion magazines around the world.

Expect to see it on a ream of A-listers in the season ahead…
