Dua Lipa Rings in 26th Birthday with Tributes from Gigi and Anwar Hadid: ‘Girl of My Dreams’

Dua Lipa is another year older and she’s celebrating with some of her favorite people.

The three-time Grammy Award winner gave a glimpse at her 26th birthday festivities on Sunday, sharing her party look and some pink heart-shaped mylar balloons. “I’m a leo – can’t u tell,” Lipa captioned the Instagram pH๏τos.

She wore a navy blue pantsuit with multicolored polka dots, wearing the jacket open over a black lace bra, complemented with a matching fuzzy ushanka hat. The look was finished with layers of gold jewelry, a black belt with a gold heart-shaped buckle, and a pair of black trainers.

Lipa, who is currently vacationing with friends, also included a pH๏τo of her heart-shaped cake, which was adorned with icing roses and her first name in red. She and her squad, including sister Rina and brother Gjin, later enjoyed a bike ride.

The birthday tributes came flooding in from fans, friends, and family, most notably her boyfriend Anwar Hadid and his sisters Gigi and Bella.


“Happy birthday girl of my dreams. Love u forever and always,” Anwar, 22, wrote with a pH๏τo of the birthday girl on his Instagram Story. “I love you!!! Thumping heart!!!” Lipa wrote, reposting the story.
