She’s gearing up to kick off her world tour on Wednesday.
So Dua Lipa made the most of her downtime as she spent the weekend relaxing on Miami Beach in Florida.
The 26-year-old singer wowed in a H๏τ pink ʙικιɴι as she enjoyed a catch up with a male friend before chilling out and reading a book in the sunshine on Sunday.
Dua’s toned physique was on full display in a skimpy bandeau top ʙικιɴι and high rise briefs.
The three-time Grammy winner allowed her natural beauty to shine through as she went makeup free on the outing, with her raven locks left loose and tousled to frame her pretty features.
Dua completed the look with a touch as glam as she donned a pair of gold chandelier earrings.
During her relaxing day, Dua entertained herself by reading Khaled Hosseini’s 2007 novel A Thousand Splendid Suns, which follows the tale of Mariam, an illegitimate teenager from Herat who is forced to marry a shoemaker from Kabul after a family tragedy.
The star’s relaxing day off will be her last for quite a while as she starts her world tour in Miami on February 9.
She will tour all over the globe consistently until early July when she will take several weeks off.
Last week, Dua talked about the tour on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and discussed the creative choices behind it.
Dua revealed that the tour was going to be ‘mᴀssively different’ than what they originally planned two years ago and will be called the Future Nostalgia tour.
She also told a humorous story involving Elton John, a ʙικιɴι and a cowboy hat. Apparently, Dua got a call from Elton while poolside about potential collaboration.
She said she immediately wanted to say yes to them but they instead listened first to the song Cold Heart before she committed.
Dua admitted after she realized the song had elements from Rocket Man that she felt like she manifested the collaboration.
‘Rocket Man is my driving song’ she said. ‘It’s my shower song. It’s my song that I sing along to myself.’
Stephen then asked her what it was like to have her explosive success with her album Future Nostalgia during the pandemic and not being able to go out and engage with her fans.
‘I worked on this album for so long,’ she said. ‘I was very pᴀssionate about it. I was very proud about it as well. It was a body of work where I finally felt like I’d found my confidence and who I was really as an artist and a songwriter.’
She said when everything shut down that she didn’t want to believe it and thought with so much uncertainty that maybe now it was the time to release the album.
Dua said she has this philosophy that up until the music is released that it belongs to her and once it is out that it no longer does. She said she felt it was the perfect time to release it in the hopes that the songs find homes with other people.
She said people’s reaction was ‘mind-blowing’ and was beyond anything that she could have ever hoped for.
