Look at the classic combinations on how you can achieve the same look for yourself:
1. Leopard print purse with an oversized shirt
If you are looking to recreate Dua’s look exactly from head to toe, then begin by finding a good oversized shirt. Next look for a nice pair of bell bottoms.

Now for the cherry on top, add your leopard print purse or shoulder bag like Dua carried. Wear kitten heels to complete your look.
