Little did we know that this adorable little girl trying on some red lipstick as a toddler would become global popstar, Dua Lipa – who’s hitting London as part of her world tour
She’s now a global pop queen and a fashion icon, set to light up London – but Dua Lipa was already interested in the latest looks as a cute toddler, as this adorable snap of the 29-year-old as a toddler trying on some lipstick reveals..
Who knew that this angelic little girl, born in London in August 1995 during an intense heatwave to Kosovan-Albanian parents, Dukagjin and Anesa Lipa, themselves fled from the city of Pristina due to the Bosnian war, would become such a huge name in the world of music.

Dua, who is ready to set Wembley Stadium alight this weekend as part of her world tour, also made her musical talents clear from an early age After writing her first song at the tender age of five, she began cello lessons at Fitzjohn’s Primary School but found it difficult, as she was so little..
“I would be carrying this massive cello on my back and it would either whack me on the top of my head or the backs of my legs. It was a real health hazard. So I gave it up”. Then, she tried to join the school choir, but that didn’t work either as she ‘ couldn’t reach the high notes”.
That the Dance The Night hitmaker would go on to pursue a career in music as a grown-up is perhaps of little surprise. The star, who grew up with brother Gjin, now 19, and sister Rina, 24, has a rockstar dad. ‘ Dugi’, now 56, was once a long-haired rocker in a Kosovan band, called Oda”. Music was always played around the house, so it just always kind of had a big impact on me, “she confessed.
As music journalist John Earls says”, She was rejected for having too deep a voice, but of course, her distinctive tone is a key part of her appeal today. Her teachers must still kick themselves, but nobody knew she’d go on to become an international superstar. “
Fast-forward to May 2024, and Dua Lipa – who last year headlined the iconic Glastonbury Festival – was releasing her third album Radical Optimism, which shot straight to No. 1, before embarking in November on her world tour, soon to delight fans of the British capital.
This time round, she’ll be on the road till December, with a break in July and August to unwind with family, friends and her Masters Of The Air actor fiancé, Callum Turner.
Fans flocking to see Dua in the UK are in for a treat, as The Radical Optimism Tour promises stunning visuals, amazing vocals, spectacular dance routines, costumes and all of her hits and who knows – perhaps, a surprise guest or two.
