Dua Lipa celebrates 30th birthday in racy cut-out gown amid Ibiza holiday
Ever the world traveller, Lipa is currently on a getaway in Ibiza with her fiance Callum Turner, immediate family and a handful of friends, to commemorate the milestone birthday.
'Early birthday celebrations on my favourite island with my favourite people wearing the most gorgeous dress Simon made for me … I can't bloody wait for 30!!!!,' the UK hit-maker captioned an Instagram carousel.
As for the Simon in her caption? That would be namesake designer Simon Porte Jacquemus, a close friend of Lipa's who joined her for the intimate birthday gathering.
For the pop star's dreamy island bash, he designed a white sequin floor-length gown with a high neckline, open back and large cutout around her left hip.
Lipa accented the custom creation with pointy white flats, statement stud earrings, chunky silver bangles and sparkly rings.
She went with minimal makeup, putting all the attention on her sun-kissed skin and long mermaid-like waves.
'Love you ma chérie,' Jacquemus commented on her post. 'Simon, plz, i need this dress,' one person pleaded.
'Queen of making every year look like the best year,' Spotify's account wrote.
On Sunday, Lipa shared another Instagram slide show, featuring photos from the couple's vacation.
'Resting meeee bones before I carry on dancing into my 30s!!!!!!' she captioned the post.
In the first snap, Lipa flaunted her bikini body in polka-dot swimwear.
Then, in the following photo, the musician posed with her soon-to-be-husband, wearing another black and white dotted string bikini.
We can't wait to see what she wears for her big day later this month.

‘Crying': Jake Paul steals thunder at brother's glamorous wedding
WWE star Logan Paul and model Nina Agdal got married during a ceremony in Lake Como, Italy on Saturday, according to a video shared by his younger brother Jake on Instagram. It marked a return to the area where Paul proposed in July 2023, which was just over a year after the couple was spotted at a restaurant in London with friends, The New York Post reports. And the ceremony that, according to TMZ, was officiated by Mike Majlak — the 'Impaulsive' podcast co-host — caused Jake to become emotional, as he captioned the video with, 'I've seriously been crying.' Paul and Agdal welcomed their first child, Esme, in September 2024, and she was in attendance at the ceremony, too, along with Jake and his fiancee, Jutta Leerdam. During the ceremony, Paul donned a white jacket, a black bow tie and black pants, and the pair of couples posted for a photo afterward. Paul and Agdal were spotted in Cernobbio on Wednesday paddling separate canoes and swimming, and Paul also shared a series of photos and videos — including one of the couple practising their dance for the ceremony — to reveal that it was his 'wedding week.' When Paul proposed to Agdal at Hotel Passalacqua last year, Agdal was 'completely blindsided by the proposal and was visibly surprised' — and the ring was the wrong size, a witness told the Daily Mail at the time. Then, Paul reportedly called Jake and said, 'Bro, you have a sister,' the outlet added. 'Today is the day I ask the love of my life to marry me,' Paul said in a 2023 YouTube video that provided a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the proposal. 'Fourteen months ago, I fell in love with the most beautiful human being I've ever seen in my life, and I have been waiting for this day ever since.' Paul's fame has skyrocketed after making his in-ring WWE debut in 2022, and he spent time on the field pregame at Yankee Stadium two weeks ago ahead of WWE SummerSlam — posing with Aaron Judge and getting the superstar to sign a baseball. But before Paul faces John Cena in a singles bout at WWE Clash in Paris on Aug. 31, he took a break for the extravagant ceremony.

‘Next to go': Kimmel's bold move after Trump's latest attack
Jimmy Kimmel is officially fed up with Trump's second-term nonsense — and he has obtained Italian citizenship as a contingency plan. The late-night host confirmed the move on The Sarah Silverman Podcast, revealing he secured went down the path of setting up an exit strategy in the wake of Donald Trump's 'unbelievable' re-election. 'I did get Italian citizenship,' Kimmel said. 'What's going on is as bad as you thought it was gonna be. It's so much worse - it's just unbelievable. 'I feel like it's probably even worse than he would like it to be.' His comments come just weeks after Trump publicly celebrated the axing of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and not-so-subtly suggested Kimmel would be next. 'I absolutely love that Colbert got fired. His talent was even less than his ratings. 'I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next. Has even less talent than Colbert!' Trump wrote on Truth Social. He doubled down days later, adding: 'The word is, and it's a strong word at that, Jimmy Kimmel is NEXT to go in the untalented Late Night Sweepstakes and, shortly thereafter, Fallon will be gone.' Colbert responded by telling Trump to 'go f**k yourself'. The Late Show will go off the air in May 2026 following a surprise announcement by broadcaster CBS. The channel is part ofParamount,which is in the throes of an $US8 billion ($A12.3 billion) takeover that requires approval by the Trump-controlled Federal Communications Commission. It pulled the plug three days after Colbert skewered CBS for settling a lawsuit with Trump. He accused it of paying what he termed 'a big fat bribe' of $US16 million ($A24.6 million) to the president for what he called 'deceptive' editing of an interview with his 2024 election opponent, former vice president Kamala Harris. Kimmel, a long-time critic of Trump, hasn't backed down. On the podcast, he spoke about the importance of supporting those who've changed their minds about the former president, including previous backers like Joe Rogan. 'Now you see these clips of Joe Rogan saying, 'Why is he doing this? Why are you deporting people?' And people go, 'F**k you! You supported him.' I don't buy into that,' Kimmel said. 'The door has to stay open. If you want to change your mind, that's so hard to do. 'If you want to admit you were wrong, that is so hard and so rare to do. You are welcome.' Italian news agency ANSA confirmed that Kimmel had acquired citizenship through his ancestral lineage. Speaking at an Italian Republic Day event in Los Angeles in June, Kimmel shared more about his roots. 'I have just obtained citizenship, thanks to my beloved grandmother Edith, whose family came from Candida, in the province of Avellino,' he said. 'She used to repeat to me, 'You have the brain of a hamster'!' His grandfather's family emigrated from the island of Ischia after an 1883 earthquake claimed most of their relatives. And Kimmel's not alone - other stars are also eyeing an escape route since Trump's comeback. Rosie O'Donnell relocated to Ireland in January, and Ellen DeGeneres recently confirmed she and her wife, Portia de Rossi, have moved to the UK. 'It's clean,' DeGeneres said of their new home. 'Everything here is just better - the way animals are treated, people are polite. I just love it here.' She also voiced concern about the future of LGBTQ+ rights in the US, adding that she and De Rossi may remarry in the UK if same-sex marriage is overturned. Not everyone believes Kimmel is serious, and plenty online reactions have criticised his 'privileged' decision: 'Jimmy had to make a EUR 500,000 (minimum) investment in real estate or an Italian startup to do this… I think Democrats call this white privilege.' 'Oh, look at Jimmy Kimmel, securing his Italian citizenship like it's a backstage pass to a gelato festival... another Hollywood hero bravely retreating to a villa.' 'Enjoy that 50 per cent exit tax.'
