Dua Lipa looked over the moon in a series of pictures posted to Instagram, as she gushed in the caption that she's 'LOVINGGGGG LIFEEEE!!!' And it's no wonder the Levitating hitmaker looked elated as she is due to headline Wembley Stadium on Friday night, just one week after confirming her engagement to Callum Turner. In her latest social media carousel, the British actor was seen with his arms wrapped round the popstar as the lovebirds beamed while brandishing their middle fingers.

There were several snaps of the British-Albanian singer being chased by her dog down a windswept beach, as well as a seaside eatery promising 'FRESH LOCAL FISH.' In one touching image, the superstar was flocked by fans who brandished merch for her to sign, including a 35mm waterproof film camera and a Radical Optimism vinyl. In another picture she grinned while brandishing her July '25 British Vogue cover story, and the penultimate image was a sweet snap of Callum sauntering through a field, clasping a takeaway coffee while gazing at his phone. Earlier this month, the singer-songwriter, who turns 30 in August, publicly shared her excitement for the first time since the actor, 35, got down on one knee. 'Yeah we're engaged. It's very exciting', she told British Vogue. '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.'

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. The Dance the Night Away hitmaker also shared that she is keen to have a family of her own but admitted she doesn't know when would be a 'good time' because of the demands of her pop career. She said: '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.

New police patrols to make women and girls feel safe at concerts
The Metropolitan Police are rolling out new measures to combat sexual offences against women and girls at London concerts this summer, as millions prepare to attend major music events across the capital. The initiative comes ahead of 51 large-scale music events planned across the capital, with Wembley Stadium alone expected to host over three million attendees. Central to the Met's strategy are new violence against women and girls (VAWG) patrols. These will operate alongside the V100 project, a novel data-driven approach designed to identify serious sexual offenders and proactively prevent crimes. This operation began on 5 June at US singer Beyonce 's concert at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and already led to police intervention. A person was removed from the stadium on suspicion of stalking and threatening behaviour, while a man was also arrested for upskirting; he remains on police bail. Ben Russell, Deputy Assistant Commissioner for the Metropolitan Police, said: 'The V100 is our approach to identifying those men who are at the top end of carrying out the most serious and harmful attacks against women and girls – that's multiple serious sexual assaults. 'Thankfully, there are a relatively small number of offenders who we believe are behind the most serious crime. 'In the short time we've been running this initiative, we've already arrested 177 of our V100 nominals and 129 of them have been convicted for a range of serious offences. 'And this is about identifying through our data the men posing the biggest risk of women and girls in London and taking action in a very targeted, precise way.' He added: 'With our VAWG patrols, there's two parts to them: Firstly, it's about engagement, so our officers talk to the public, really engage with them, having conversations, helping people to feel safe, and letting them know that if they've got concerns, they can come and speak to us. 'But the other part to it has a much harder edge, which is looking at the crowd and saying, 'who should not be here?' 'So that will not be so visible to normal concert-goers, but we will approach people we think should not be there and we will make sure they leave venues and leave the areas as quickly as possible.' An additional 565 officers and staff have been drafted into public protection roles across the force, aimed at enhancing the domestic abuse, rape and sexual offence investigation teams. The Met has also increased its live facial recognition tools to locate those wanted for offences and those subject to court orders, including sexual harm prevention orders. Mr Russell added: 'For us and the Met, protecting women and girls has been one of our number one priorities for a while now, and we're working really closely with the Government on that, and we're supportive of the mission to try and halve violence against women and girls, over the life of this parliament. 'Part of the way we look at our success is trust and confidence in the Metropolitan Police, so we track on a regular basis how much people feel that they think we're doing a good job, and that's something working with the mayor's office, we track regularly. 'It's also about just getting out and arresting people at these events. We think if we spot people in the crowds who are committing these offences and are making arrests, that's a good result. 'Equally, if we recording and these crimes, that tells us that the public have the faith to come forward with over three million people coming to these events in the summer, we know that some crime will take place, a relatively small amount, but when we're able to track it to identify it, to record it, and arrest suspects, that for us is a good result.'
