Dua Lipa has landed Vogue France’s September 2023 cover.
On the cover, the singer-songwriter, who celebrated her 28th birthday on Tuesday, wears ALAÏA and rocks blonde brows with barely there ɴuᴅᴇ makeup.
Elsewhere in the cover shoot, Lipa is seen wearing an oversized Bottega Veneta coat and soft blush lipstick. In another pH๏τo, she’s seen wearing Prada and Calzedonia stockings with slicked back hair.
In a separate daring snap, Lipa, lying on a high city ledge, is shown wearing a black knitted JW Anderson minidress with Calzedonia stockings and Givenchy pumps. Her hair is styled with blunt baby bangs.
Inside the issue, in an accompanying cover interview published Thursday, Lipa shared her thoughts on performing, modeling, having children and more.
“…I’ve always loved performing,” the “Dance the Night” singer said. “Dancing, singing, making up choreography in the playground… When I was little, I used to dream: ‘It would be incredible to perform on a real stage…’”
She said that there are two sides to herself: the “Dua who is chill at home” and the “exaggerated version” who “gives it her all on stage.”
“There’s a lot of duality in me … But it’s within this duality that I find peace,” she said.
When asked if she plans to have children one day, the performer said the “only baby I’m thinking about is my new album.”
“…I think that women have acquired a place in society that was forbidden before. And yet, has the desire to have children disappeared? I think women want to do things at their own pace, and not feel guilty for thinking of themselves. For me, when the moment is right, I will know. But, until then, I have other priorities. I want to continue making the most of my youth.”
Lipa has been busy of late, appearing in the hit “Barbie” film this summer and co-designing the “La Vacanza” Versace collection with fashion icon Donatella Versace.
She’s also working on her aforementioned upcoming third album, which will be released in 2024.
“I love working,” she told Vogue France on Thursday. I always need to be busy, it fulfills me.”
