Dua Lipa sets pulses racing in a sheer black lace mini dress as she greets fans at the opening of her merchandise pop-up shop in London
Dua Lipa commanded attention as she arrived at her exclusive merchandise pop-up shop in London on Thursday. The pop sensation, 29, stunned in a black sheer lace mini dress that flaunted her incredible figure, paired with a black bra and hotpants. She elevated her sizzling look with sleek black boots and carried a stylish leopard print bag. Appearing in high spirits, Dua greeted fans outside the venue to mark the launch of the limited-time pop-up - a four-day immersive experience celebrating her music and upcoming summer stadium shows. Presented by American Express, the event runs from June 19-22 at Protein Studios in London. Fans can explore exclusive merchandise, interactive photo moments, and a bar serving Dua's favourite drink. The pop-up also offers a unique opportunity to experience her album Radical Optimism using cutting-edge L-ISA Immersive Sound technology. It comes after it was reported that Dua has 'lined up' two huge British pop stars to support her at her upcoming 'monumental' Wembley Stadium gigs. The singer said to have approached Charli XCX and Raye to open her shows on June 20 and 21, ahead of their upcoming Glastonbury performances. A source told The Sun: 'These two Wembley shows are monumental for Dua and she wants to give her fans an extra treat. 'Her team has approached Raye to open Friday's show, while Charli is in talks to perform on Saturday. 'Dua, Raye and Charli are all super supportive of each other and it would be amazing to have these three British female powerhouses playing Wembley. 'With Glastonbury the week after, this is the perfect warm-up for Raye and Charli too as they'll be playing to almost 80,000 fans at Wembley Stadium.' Although guests are yet to be confirmed, Dove Cameron and Alessi Rose will be supporting the singer for her Wembley shows. MailOnline has contacted Dua's representatives for comment. Dua was initially set to play just one show at the London venue on Friday 20 June 2025, as part of her Radical Optimism tour. But due to the phenomenal demand, the pop star will be staying in the English capital for a second night to put on another performance on Saturday June 21. And those who have bagged tickets to the highly-anticipated shows are in luck as the hitmaker is planning to get up close and personal with her fans when she plays at Wembley Stadium. The Illusion hitmaker is set to jump off the main stage and walk the full length of the crowd in a similar manner to her Glastonbury headline performance last year. And in her personal life, Dua revealed she would 'love' to have children with her fiancé Callum Turner after announcing their engagement. The singer publicly shared her excitement for the first time since the actor, 35, got down on one knee. The hitmaker posed for the front cover of British Vogue where she looked stunning in a pale pink bra that highlighted her jaw-dropping figure. In the interview, Dua discussed her family plans, saying she's concerned how having children will fit in with her career as a pop star. 'I'd love to have kids one day,' she said. '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.' Confirming their engagement, Dua said: 'Yeah we're engaged. 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.' Late last year, news of their romantic proposal emerged and Dua has regularly been seen with a dazzling diamond ring on her finger. Speaking of their wedding plans, Dua said she hopes to finish her tour and Callum to wrap up filming before they tie the knot. While the wedding hasn't been at the forefront of her mind amid her busy schedule touring, she did admit she has started to think about her dress. 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 dreamt about what kind of bride I would be. All of a sudden, I'm like: 'Oh, what would I wear?'' Dua said she's 'obsessed' with her engagement ring, before insisting 'It's nice to know the person that you're going to spend the rest of your life with knows you very well.' Dua and Callum were first linked in January 2024 and reportedly got engaged over Christmas in 2024. '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.' Dua and Callum had 'many Sliding Doors moments', where they were in the same place at the same time without realising, before being introduced to one another at the River Cafe in London. A year later, she was having dinner in Los Angeles with her friend Mustafa the Poet when 'all of a sudden' Callum appeared. She thought: 'Oh, it's that really hot guy from The River Cafe.' During their conversation, the pair realised they both 'just happened to be reading' Hernan Diaz's novel Trust. Asked if she feels they were destined to be together, she replied: 'One thousand per cent.' Dua and Callum first sparked romance rumours in January 2024 when they both attended a Masters Of The Air afterparty in London.

Raye praises 'amazing' Lola Young after technical glitch left her in tears
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video After shooting to fame last year with her hit single, Lola Young just made her Capital Summertime Ball debut – but it was a little, well, messy. The 24-year-old singer was all smiles as she walked on stage at Wembley Stadium in London, but was reduced to floods of tears backstage. Lola wasn't the only one having difficulties this year, as Jade went viral for claiming she was blocked from singing her new release. While the Little Mix star fought her battles off stage, Lola was left to face the music on stage – literally – as a technical fault derailed her short set. During her biggest track, Messy, her earpiece stopped working, forcing her to ask fans for help as she tried to claw back the performance. Now, the iconic Raye has shared some words of wisdom and praised the 'amazing' Lola for fighting through the 'impossible' situation. Commenting on a TikTok of the singer in tears, Raye explained: 'Sound travel[s] slowly, especially across a venue this big. 'Like a 3 second difference from it coming out of speakers to reaching the other side of the stadium, without in ears or a floor monitor, it is almost impossible to sing in time or pitch yourself !!' The seven-time Brit Award winner added: 'Lola you're doing amazing! So proud of you.' On Sunday, the 80,000 capacity venue watched as Lola, who is the niece of Gruffalo author Julia Donaldson, struggled to keep time during Messy. @bdjdksksm #summertimeball #lolayoung ♬ original sound – bdjdksksm 'Sorry guys, my ears are going in and out,' Lola explained before shouting for tech support and asking, 'Can I get some new ears?' The fault threw off her timing with the band but she was determined to continue, telling fans to 'sing along please'. It seemed the issue wasn't being resolved, with Lola declaring, 'It's like they're doing it on purpose' before walking off stage as the song ended. TikToker and gig-goer Bdjdksksm caught sight of her after the set, crying to her crew as they attempted to calm her down. Fans commented supportive messages across social media, including Charlie Puth, who wrote on Instagram: 'She's pitch perfect even without hearing herself that is impressive !!! She did a great job.' Host Sian Welby said: 'An absolute professional 🙌🙌🙌 nothing but respect for that performance ❤️.' Capital's official Instagram page shared a clip of the error, with the caption: '@lolayounggg gave it EVERYTHING like a true professional.' She wasn't alone in technical faults, though, as Zara Larsson's microphone cut out while on stage as well as a 20-minute delay in the live stream. More Trending This is also the second time Lola has been plagued with issues at a festival as she was forced to run off stage after feeling like she was going to vomit while performing at Coachella. Explaining what happened, she wrote: 'i was nervous guys and it was 40 bloody degrees. Im back today, same time, same tent love ya x.' As with any live production, things can go wrong but Zara and Lola proved the show must – and can – go on. Hopefully, Lola's Glastonbury debut later this month goes off without a hitch. Got a story?

Raye And Mark Ronson Team Up For New Single ‘Suzanne'
Raye and Mark Ronson Acclaimed British songstress Raye and superstar producer Mark Ronson have joined forces for a new single, 'Suzanne,' marking the first time the two powerhouses have worked together on new music. The summer-ready single, 'Suzanne," is a fitting entry into both Raye and Ronson's catalogs with a blend of jazz club instrumentals and a poolside pop sensibility. The song was released in celebration of Audemars Piguet's 150th anniversary as part of the watchmaker's AP x Music program, anchored by ventures like Ronson's ongoing 'Syncing Sounds' series, which in the past has included another R&B singer collaboration: Lucky Daye's 2022 single 'Too Much." Raye sings to the 'Suzanne' in question over Ronson's instrumentation as she shares honest thoughts about their budding relationship. 'Time gives way to the magic hour, sunset at the bar / You rest your left ear on my shoulder and I wonder if that's just how you are / I whisper to the waiter, 'A glass of something strong' / 'Cause I'm about to finally tell you how I've been feeling all along,' she sings on the track. 'Eyes are like the ocean, nails are painted green / And I know this sounds like a lie, but I swear you're the prettiest I ever seen / Now I can't tell you if you into me, so I'ma say it out loud / Things I never say, the things I should've said, I couldn't, and I guess I'm telling you now.' Reflecting on the song and the feelings it sparks, Raye said "For me, it's just joy,' according to Elle. 'The song makes me so happy — I find it so infectious.' Getting to work with Ronson especially was a dream come true for the 'Escapism' crooner given her time working in his London studio as an up-and-coming songwriter. 'I've always been a Mark Ronson superfan,' she confessed. 'Mark is a king of timeless music — music that outlasts trends, that outlasts phases.' Ronson, for his part, acknowledged the song's emotional underbelly, calling it 'slightly melancholy, but still joyous.' Despite working on myriad songs in the past with some of the biggest names in music, Ronson holds 'Suzanne' in especially high regard. 'This is one of my favorite pieces of music I've worked on in a long time,' he said. Raye is set to take the stage at Bonnaroo Festival on June 14 and will perform at music festivals across Europe this summer.
