Dua Lipa Rocks A LBD & Tights For New Elle Cover
As soon as she shared the photos from the shoot on Instagram, fans flooded the "Dance The Night" singer's comments section with praise for her stylish appearance.
"WE ARE OBSESSED DUA," wrote one fan. "Talented, Beautiful and Elegant," said another user. One fan noted, "She has everything to be the next queen of quality pop."
At just 28 years old, the "Houdini" icon has accomplished a remarkable amount. The Albanian-British sensation clinched the Grammy Award for Best New Artist in 2019, followed by another win for Best Pop Vocal Album in 2021, not to mention bagging seven BRIT awards along the way.
Yet, her journey wasn't without its challenges. In a candid interview with the publication, she revealed the sacrifices she made—leaving her native Kosovo as a teenager—to pursue her dreams of stardom.
Dua Lipa Opens Up About Her Journey To Stardom With Elle
At the age of just 15, Lipa made the bold decision to return to London solo to chase her dreams in music. Settling into a flat in Camden, she shared accommodations with an Albanian family friend who was studying at university at the time.
Now, she looks back and is surprised how she was allowed to go pursue her dreams at such a young age, "I said to my parents: ‘I don’t know how you let me do that,' but I knew that I didn’t have the same opportunities that I would have in Kosovo. I was so determined. I think my parents saw parts of themselves in me, and that allowed for them to be so open-hearted and generous with that trust."
