If you’ve ever wanted to know how to copy her best Y2K fashion moments, we have a few tips that will make it a piece of cake. Dua’s take on Y2K style means a lot of pink and butterfly details. Some of her best summer looks include a baby tee or cropped top with a pair of animal-print jeans. She loves matching the colours in her outfit with her accessories — especially her shoes, baguette bags, tinted sunglasses, thin belts, and chunky rings. On the topic of rings, a Dua look is incomplete without them. Like fellow stylish star Sophie Turner, Dua loves stacking candy-coloured ...
This UFO-Inspired Spotify Playlist Features Daft Punk, Jack Ü and Frank Sinatra
What do Jack Ü, Led Zeppelin and Nicki Minaj all have in common? If you’re coming up blank, you’re not alone. Luckily, Spotify has found a peculiar way to put these artists in conversation with each other: UFOs. Inspired by a recent uptick in UFO sightings across the globe, the streaming giant has launched an eclectic playlist called “cl0se ënc0ūnteRs.” “We can’t explain this playlist,” its description reads. “Just like we can’t explain those UFO sightings.” Featuring 25 tracks across a wide range of genres and musical eras, “cl0se ënc0ūnteRs” manages to find space for songs like “Levitating” by Dua Lipa and DaBaby, “Creep” by Radiohead and “Come Fly With Me”...
Poster Girl Is the Bodacious Fashion Brand Loved by Dua Lipa, Doja Cat, and Bimini Bon Boulash
Poster Girl founders Natasha Somerville and Francesca Capper (Daniel Sachon) Are you familiar with Poster Girl? The London-based online boutique founded by Francesca Capper and Natasha Somerville is creating the hottest dresses of summer 2021. We first fell in love with Poster Girl’s skintight signature dresses after Rowan Blanchard shared a photo on Instagram wearing the brand’s Charlotte dress in autumn 2020. But with nowhere to go at the time, it wasn’t until spring 2021 that stars like Dua Lipa, Kylie Jenner, Selena Gomez, and Doja Cat started to catch on to the brand’s “bold and bodacious” designs. With Poster Girl set to be one of the It brands of summer 2021, we spoke to the designers about how a pair of red stilettos decided their friendship, the...
Dua Lipa wins album of the year at Brit Awards
Dua Lipa won the coveted British Album of the Year prize at the Brit Awards on Tuesday, in a ceremony that saw female artists dominate the mixed categories. Around 4,000 guests streamed into London’s O2 Arena for the biggest night in British pop music, as the ceremony welcomed guests for the first time in two years as part of the government’s pilot scheme easing coronavirus restrictions. The Brit Awards have been criticised in the past for nominations seen as skewing heavily male, but this year almost all of the main prizes went to female artists. Little Mix won best British group — becoming the first female act ever to do so. Singer and poet Arlo Parks took the Breakthrough Artist award, and best international group went to the American band HAIM. In another history-making moment, Taylor ...
Dua Lipa’s Vivienne Westwood Dress Is a Tribute to London and Being Together Again
Dua Lipa is certainly one of the most stylish stars on the 2021 BRIT Awards red carpet. The Future Nostalgia singer arrived looking like a winner wearing a golden-yellow Vivienne Westwood minidress with head-to-toe accessories by the iconic British punk fashion brand. “I wanted to make it British, quite London, have some fun with it,” Dua told hosts Yasmin Evans and AJ Odudu on the BRIT red carpet live stream. “It’s all about getting people together.” Dua’s outfit featured a golden-yellow Vivienne Westwood bardot minidress with a neon-purple mesh overlay and the brand’s signature three-row pearl bas relief choker necklace (£340), with earrings, bracelets, and rings by the brand, including a Union Jack ring, a pair of deep-plum platform lace-up heel...
Dua Lipa Wore Thousands of Pounds of Diamonds to Perform at Elton John’s Oscars Preparty
Diamonds were the standout star on both of Dua Lipa’s performance gowns at the Oscars preparty benefit hosted by the Elton John AIDS Foundation. The Future Nostalgia singer started her string of solo performances in a black gown and later changed into a sparkling outfit to perform duets of “Bennie and the Jets” and “Love Again” with Elton John. Dua Lipa is no stranger to a very sexy red carpet moment, particularly if it’s sparkling. Her sparkling butterfly Grammys dresses are already some of the defining red carpet outfits of 2021. But while Lipa usually goes for ’90s-inspired dresses or sexy, sheer looks, her Oscars preparty gowns were expectedly formfitting but impressively elegant. Dua Lipa’s first look was a black velvet high-neck and lon...

The 30 Best Albums of 2020
After a deluge of canceled or delayed tours, drive-in experiments, Bandcamp Fridays and bedroom livestreams, we’re finally here. Yay? It’s hard to celebrate much of anything in 2020. But one encouraging sign from the music industry has been the number of artists innovating on the fly — figuring out ways to sustain their careers through the madness. And as fans, at least we’ve had new albums to help us process our continuing semi-apocalypse. Having (mercifully) reached the end of this awful year, we have even more perspective on the functionality of a great record. The 30 we’ve assembled here have prompted us to dance, helped us grieve, made us laugh, or even just allowed us to escape into a transportive riff or soundscape. We assume they did the same for the artists themselves. Let us reme...
Trent Reznor, Dua Lipa and The Killers Dig Deep in Song Exploder Season Two Trailer
The second season Song Exploder, the Netflix series based on the podcast of the same name, premieres globally on Dec. 15 and just dropped its first trailer. In it, one of the most powerful moments is when Trent Reznor is seen listening to the classic Nine Nails song “Hurt” and reflecting, “I felt alone. That’s me not knowing who I am anymore: I think I said ‘I’m sorry.’ Then it exploded unexpectedly.” In addition to Nine Inch Nails, the series features The Killers, Dua Lipa and Natalia Lafourcade. The lineup was initially announced in October. A deep dive into the “deeply personal” Killers hit “When You Were Young” reveals that “those first three chords awakened us,” while Lafourcade shares that to get beyond a block for “Hasta La Raíz” where “the music did fe...
