Dua Lipa famously once said, or sang, even: "one kiss is all it takes, fallin' in love with me". However, I have to disagree Miss Peep, as for me (as I'm assuming many of you readers, too), it only takes one of the singer's stunning Instagram posts to fall in love with her. I'd even go as far as to say I'm levitating. Get it? NVM...
Just last week Dua shared an IG story from her bathtub (no, she kept it PG-rated, get your mind out of the gutter!) and the one thing we couldn't stop staring at was those incredible natural flurry eyebrows. And not only that, but not too long ago at the 2022 Grammy awards, Dula, I mean Dua, debuted a platinum blonde hair look that made her pretty much unrecognisable. I'm still recovering from the shell shock TBH.
Now, the star has us making our own rules (four: only one Dua IG post a week as it can cause hyperventilation) with yet another trio of uh-ma-zin' pics. Scroll through the series below to take them in all the glory:
The artist shared the snaps whilst on her Future Nostalgia tour and is seen to be wearing a fluorescent pink lacy one-piece with matching full-length gloves. Just delightful. But, our favourite aspect of the look has to be that sleek half-up half-down hair look. It's giving us all the Ariana Grande vibes.
And why, may you ask? Well, for over a decade Ari's signature hairstyle has been this exact half-up look, with bouncy curls and all. Of course, the thank u, next singer doesn't own this style, but there's no denying that whenever we rock this look we have to restrain ourselves from belting out 7 rings. Just me? OK.
One last final thought: Remember those Disney crossover episodes we'd all go crazy for back in the day (That's So Suite Life of Hannah Montana is a personally fav), well this is giving me that, but Hollywood's version. Cue the nostalgia – you're welcome.
