Dua Lipa, honored as one of Time100’s Most Influential People of 2024, effortlessly stole the spotlight at the Time100 gala in NYC on April 25th. Continuing the bow trend, she graced the event in a stunning custom silver Chanel gown. The dress featured intricate lace floral fabric, a daring plunging neckline that cascaded to her abdomen, and a striking black bow adorned with a crystal resin embellishment at its center. With the chic bow positioned just above a subtle cutout at her midriff, the ensemble was a true showstopper.
Adding a touch of sparkle, the “Houdini” hitmaker adorned herself with a delicate silver necklace and rings. Her fiery red hair flowed elegantly with a center parting, and her makeup was kept understated yet radiant, with a berry lip and coral cheeks.

Dua Lipa On Manifestation And Her Upcoming Third Album
"Since I was very little, I've jotted down things I dreamt for myself. I’ve always planned ahead. Although surprises arise that I evaluate in the moment, there’s always a long-term goal," she said. "Manifesting is a big thing for me. I stand very firmly in the belief of putting things into the world. Subconsciously, you just work towards them. Nothing’s ever too big."
May 3 is the release of "Radical Optimism," her third studio album, and she describes it as 'mature,' stating, "The record as a whole is more mature. I'm definitely not the same person I was when I wrote my first album. I've evolved and learned so much… taking it as it comes, not seeing anything as bad or something as a setback. That involves a lot of growing and understanding myself, knowing my worth, whether it be in business, love, or friendship."
All the internal changes Lipa has gone through has been positive, as the 28-year-old says she feels more 'confident' than ever in her life right now. "I'm just a different person, so of course this record is going to be different. I have different thoughts, wants, needs, and perspectives. I've done a 180 on myself… I feel the most confident at this point in my life."
