Dua Lipa’s recent Instagram posts garnered over two million likes from her fans. However, some were not pleased to see her smoking in the photos. The 27-year-old singer sported her signature high ponytail and flaunted her well-toned midriff in a stunning Versace dress with a stunning butterfly print and cut-out polka dots.
As she eagerly prepared to take a sip of her cooling beverage, the popular celebrity declared to her extensive following of 88.3 million: “To be honest, I am really in need of a vacation.” While sporting glimmering butterfly rings and bracelets for a bold and chunky jewelry style, the Dance the Night sensation embraced the carefree atmosphere of her surroundings while relaxing in a comfortable deckchair. However, despite the captivating images of her basking in the scorching sunshine, some expressed concern about the implications of the cigarette present in her mouth, fearing that it might encourage smoking among vulnerable children.
An Instagrammer expressed their love for Dua while also showing concern about her smoking habit, warning her of its negative impact on health. Another follower urged Dua to be mindful of her influence on young girls, discouraging her from promoting cigarettes and alcohol. Despite the comments, Dua looked stunning in a dress from her latest Versace collection, where she co-designed and named it ‘La Vacanza’. Dua seemed to be enjoying her holiday mood, following a successful court case against a Florida reggae group that accused her of plagiarism.
According to reports, there was controversy surrounding Dua Lipa’s popular song Levitating, with some claiming it sounded too similar to Artikal Sound System’s Live Your Life from 2017. However, Warner Records was able to successfully defend the copyright claim in a LA court. The case was dismissed after the group failed to demonstrate that Dua had access to their song, as only a limited number of CDs were sold. Although the group had previously performed Live Your Life at concerts and made it available on various streaming services, they are now reportedly exploring other legal options.
During the Cannes Film Festival, Dua Lipa unveiled her latest clothing line at a Versace fashion show. The collection was modeled by the likes of Irina Shayk in a picturesque waterfront mansion, according to Harper’s Bazaar. Prior to the show, Dua spoke to the press about her new line, stating that she wanted to create a holiday wardrobe that could also be worn all summer, and that she had begun working on sketches for Donatella last autumn. Dua also expressed her excitement at collaborating with the renowned creative director of the Italian brand, saying they had a common language and could bounce ideas off each other.
