Dua Lipa is opening a Radical Optimism pop-up shop in London this week
Pop superstar Dua Lipa is returning to London this week for two massive shows at Wembley Stadium. The British-Albanian singer is finally bringing the Radical Optimism tour to her home turf after taking it all around the world during the past year, including a triumphant Glastonbury headline set. Before Dua completes her London victory lap, she is doing something a little extra for the fans in the capital. The 'Houdini' singer has announced she is opening a pop-up shop in the Big Smoke in the lead up to the concerts. The Radical Optimism Pop-Up Shop will open in the city for four days this week, taking place in the run up to and during the Radical Optimism World Tour. The shop will be open from June 19 until June 22, open daily from 11am to 6pm. It will be located at Protein Studios in Shoreditch. The pop-up will be flogging Dua merch, while there will also be photo opportunities and a bar serving 'Dua's favourite drink' (although the drink hasn't been confirmed yet, our guess is on a dirty martini). There will also be an immersive experience taking fans 'inside the music of Radical Optimism '. That's presented in L-ISA Immersive Sound, the ultra-high resolution spatial audio technology from L-Acoustics. There will also be special perks for American Express card holders. See more about that here. Radical Optimism Pop-Up Shop, Protein Studios, 31 New Inn Yard, London, EC2A 3EY. Jun 19-22. Free. A new free lido will open in east London this summer.

The 29-year old singer is currently performing around the world for her Radical Optimism tour, with upcoming performances at London's Wembley Stadium and Madison Square Garden in New York. Fronting the July issue of British Vogue, she told the magazine: "Yeah we're engaged. It's very exciting. "(I) never really understood the weight of it. This decision to grow old together, to see a life and just, I don't know, be best friends forever - it's a really special feeling." Turner, 35, is best known for starring in the hit series Masters Of The Air alongside US actor Austin Butler, as well as playing Frank Churchill in 2020's Emma and Joe Rantz, the american rower, in The Boys In The Boat.

She said: "I want to finish my tour, Callum's shooting, so we're just enjoying this period. I've never been someone who's really thought about a wedding, or dreamed about what kind of bride I would be. All of a sudden, I'm like: 'Oh, what would I wear?'" "I'd love to have kids one day. But it's like the constant question of when would there ever be a good time - how it would fit in with my job and how it would work if I went on tour, and how much time out I'd have to take. "I think it's just one of those things that's going to happen when it happens. I love kids, but I think there's so much more to raising a child than just loving children." Months away from being 30, the singer added that she is the most confident she has ever felt. She said: "I turn 30 in August and I've been thinking about it a lot, because your 20s are just so tumultuous in the way you think about yourself and your body. And I don't know, now I feel like I've come to a place - I've become better at taking care of myself and working out and dancing. "I feel the most confident I've ever felt. I feel very empowered and strong in my body. I feel good when I'm sharing my energy with people on stage. "There's just so much of that that makes me really proud of my body and the way it holds me." The English-Albanian singer rose to fame with her 2016 hit Be The One followed by her 2017 break-up anthem, New Rules. Since then she has won several Brit Awards and three Grammys and headlined Glastonbury Festival last year shortly after the release of her third studio album Radical Optimism which hit number one on the UK albums chart. Her 2020 Future Nostalgia album also reached number one while her debut self-titled album, Dua Lipa, reached number three. She is the youngest person to feature on this year's Sunday Times 40 Under 40 Rich List, making her one of the wealthiest musicians in the UK.

Dua Lipa's engagement ring from Callum Turner is worth a fortune, and she's ‘obsessed'
Popstar Dua Lipa and British actor Callum Turner are officially engaged, a year after confirming their romance. Though the exact timeline of their engagement wasn't revealed, the couple had sparked rumours for months after fans spotted the big diamond on the singer's finger in late 2024. But now, during an interview with Vogue published on June 12, 2025, Dua confirmed the news, saying, 'Yeah, we're engaged. It's very exciting.' What's just as intriguing is her old European-cut diamond, which she has been obsessed with since day one. During the interview, the Levitating singer revealed that Callum had the ring custom-made for her. Also read: Dua Lipa and Callum Turner share a 'fairytale' moment in Paris, dance in front of Eiffel Tower: 'Straight out of a movie' Dua and Callum first sparked dating rumours after the singer made an after-party appearance alongside the actor for Apple TV+ series Masters of the Air. While speaking to the magazine, the Houdini crooner revealed that their paths first crossed at a London restaurant, where they were introduced by the café's co-founders. A year later, fate brought them together again at another restaurant. At the time, she was having dinner with her friend, Mustafa the Poe,t when Callum suddenly walked in. She recalled, 'Oh, it's that really hot guy from The River Cafe.' She also realised something strangely common between them, they were both reading the same book: Trust by Hernan Diaz. Dua described it as one of their many 'sliding doors moments.' Announcing her engagement, she said, 'It's very exciting. This decision to grow old together, to see a life and just, I don't know, be best friends forever – it's a really special feeling.' Fans knew wedding bells were coming when Dua first flaunted her diamond on Instagram during Christmas Eve 2024. But since the couple didn't acknowledge it, the buzz died down quickly. Now, the singer revealed, 'I'm obsessed with it,' she said. 'It's so me. It's nice to know the person that you're going to spend the rest of your life with knows you very well.' Callum reportedly teamed up with Dua's sister Rina and her close friends to design it. Also read: Badshah reacts to backlash over 'making babies with Dua Lipa' remark: 'Meri soch nahi tumhari soch saamne aayi hai' According to PEOPLE, who spoke to New York-based luxury wedding ring designer Suisse Saltzman, Dua's ring is set on a wide gold cigar band. The designer revealed that the centre diamond is either round brilliant or old European cut, giving it an elegant touch. Calling it possibly bezel-set, quite different from the usual delicate solitaire designs, Saltzman said the diamond is 'set low, nearly flush with the wide gold band.' Saltzman estimated the cost somewhere between $65,000 and $125,000, depending on the size and quality of the diamond. However, another diamond expert, Laura Taylor, believes it's closer to 3-4 carats, which could push the price to around $200,000 to $270,000. Dua and Callum aren't rushing into wedding planning just yet. The two are focused on enjoying their engagement and getting to know each other better. Their professional commitments are also keeping them from taking the next step. Dua is busy with her music tour, and Callum is tied up with filming projects. Speaking of which, the singer said, 'I want to finish my tour, Callum's shooting, so we're just enjoying this period,' she explained. 'I've never been someone who's really thought about a wedding or dreamt about what kind of bride I would be. All of a sudden I'm like: 'Oh, what would I wear?''
