Dua Lipa is currently on tour, but she had a little downtime in Miami yesterday, and she did what anyone would: hit the beach. The singer was photographed lounging in a
tiny red and orange checkered bikini and body chain. She brought along one of Loewe’s Spirited Away bags for a nostalgic statement accessory.
Lipa spoke to WSJ Magazinein January about finally getting to go on tour and her decision to release Future Nostalgia during the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic.
“I always have this viewpoint that you have to be outside of your comfort zone for things to be rewarding,” Lipa said. “So when the pandemic happened, and everyone was worried about whether we should release the album, I was just like, F*ck it, maybe it’s just what we need. While everyone’s at home, maybe this is the album we should be putting out. It was scary, because you had no idea how long we were going to be in this pandemic. Everything was a big question mark. But I had a sense that we just had to do it.”
She also addressed her decision to keep her private life private amid People’s December report that she and Anwar Hadid are “currently taking a break from their relationship and are spending time apart,” per a source close to the Hadids. (She declined, through her spokesperson, to comment on their relationship status to WSJ.)
“Something that I’ve realized over time is how little people actually know,” she said. “I’ve made peace with the fact that people can think what they want to think, but no one really, truly knows what’s happening behind closed doors. My circle’s really tight, my family and my friends keep me so grounded, and it gives me some kind of comfort that not everything is out there that would take away from your life and privacy.”
