Dua Lipa arrived in New York City on Friday, reportedly to celebrate her 31st birthday on Saturday, making a stylish entrance at JFK Airport. She was seen carrying a large Chanel bucket bag, part of the brand's Cruise 2027 collection. Lipa opted for a chic, casual ensemble of blue jeans, a white T-shirt, a navy cardigan, and black sunglasses.
The Chanel bag is significant as it represents the debut Cruise collection for the brand's creative director Matthieu Blazy, who previously directed Bottega Veneta. Lipa's stylist, Lorenzo Posocco, has expressed admiration for Blazy's work, noting his "fresh air" approach to Chanel.
As Lipa prepared for her birthday, her family shared heartfelt tributes. Her mother, Anesa, posted a wedding photo on Instagram, expressing pride in the person Dua has become and wishing her a birthday filled with joy. Lipa's father, Dukagjin, also shared childhood photos and messages of love and pride.
Her sister Rina also offered birthday wishes. These tributes come after Lipa's recent marriage to actor Callum Turner. The couple legally wed in London earlier this summer, followed by a larger celebration in Sicily that included a performance by Elton John.
Turner recently spoke about his desire to start a family with Lipa, expressing that he would like to have children in the coming decade. Lipa herself has previously indicated a desire to have children in the future, acknowledging the complexities of balancing family life with her demanding career. The couple recently enjoyed a honeymoon along the Amalfi Coast, visiting Rome and Naples, and staying in Taormina.
