Dua Lipa goes braless in risqué silver sequin dress with daring cutaway as she rings in early birthday celebrations in Ibiza
Dua Lipa set pulses racing as she slipped into a sequin silver dress with a very daring cutaway as she continued to enjoy her early birthday celebrations in Ibiza. The Houdini singer, 29, who turns 30 on Wednesday uploaded a series of snaps on Saturday looking every inch the global superstar. The revealing cutaway on the glittering number expertly showed off her bronzed body and jaw-dropping figure, whilst the strappy high heels elongated her legs. With her raven hair tucked behind her ears, and a sultry glow, the chart-topper oozed glamour as she playfully posed for pictures. Dua accessorised her sensational look with an array of silver jewellery including two chunky bracelets and some drop down earrings. Alongside the picture, Dua wrote in the caption: 'my bestie made me a killer dress for another perfect night... everyone say thank you Giuliiiiiiii also i'm gonna need to start a cake tally at this rate' Fans gushed in the comment section writing 'beautiful,' 'gorgeous', 'wow'. One fan went one step further as they observed: 'You can't stop serving looks recently'. The pop sensation is currently in Ibiza with pals ahead of her milestone birthday and has been sharing snaps of her lavish getaway with her 88 million followers. In one shot of this most recent carousel, Dua blew out candles on top of an enormous cake that was covered in pink icing. Her new fiancé Callum Turner stood in the background and looked on at her lovingly. In another, she cosied up to a pal, sat on an enormous white sofa with a stunning backdrop of mountains behind her. A final image showed Dua posing with her friend and songwriter Mustafa the Poet and Callum. Callum looked dapper in black and as she smiled for the camera, put his hand sweetly on Dua hip. In June, Dua publicly confirmed rumours she was engaged to Callum Turner as she shared her excitement over the actor getting down on one knee. Dua accessorised her sensational look with an array of silver jewellery including two chunky bracelets and some drop down earrings 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.' Dua has been keeping her fans updated on her sun-drenched trip and earlier in the week wowed in an array of bikinis. She treated fans to some stunning pictured of her in a daring burgundy and blue two-piece bikini that left little to the imagination as she enjoyed a boat day on the Spanish island with friends. Another snap from her summer getaway showed Dua in a white vest top paired with a sheer white skirt, which she wore as evening wear. Dua also rocked a black bikini and later in the day hosted a movie night under the stars, while enjoying a sit-down dinner as the sun set. The latest holiday pictures come after Dua embraced a wave of nostalgia on Wednesday as she shared a sweet throwback-inspired post with her sister Rina. Posting to her Instagram Stories, Dua recreated a treasured childhood photo in which she and her sister sat back-to-back, grinning at the camera. In the updated version, the siblings struck the same pose - only this time with years of memories between them.

Pookie and Jett's throwback Trump photo sends the internet wild
A throwback photo of Campbell 'Pookie' and Jett Puckett wearing a Donald and Melania Trump Halloween costume has sent the internet wild with speculation about their political affiliation. The couple went viral after the internet caught onto Jett telling his wife she was 'looking absolutely fire tonight,' but now sleuths are digging into the Hermes-wearing couple's politics. An old photo of the pair dressed up as Donald and Melania at the President's 2017 inauguration resurfaced on Reddit. Pookie's dress was similar to the blue Ralph Lauren dress Melania wore, down to the blue gloves. Jett's outfit was also reminiscent of the tailored suits and trademark red tie Trump is often seen wearing. Although the Georgia-based couple has not addressed their political affiliation, many are speculating these old photos suggest they're Republicans. 'I would be more surprised if they dressed up as the Bidens lmao,' another wrote. 'Are y'all really surprised? Lol, I assumed this already,' a third fan wrote. 'I've never been less shocked in my life,' a fourth person wrote. The Atlanta-based couple met at a wine bar in Philadelphia after Jett approached her. They dated for ten months before getting engaged in 2018. They recently welcomed a baby together. Pookie was a former flight attendant and worked for the blog You Should Wear That. Wharton-educated Jett works in mergers and acquisitions in the dental industry. He began his career working in private equity, during which time his company bought up small dentist surgeries and other health businesses. They have been building their brand since 2020, but have recently taken off in part thanks to the discussion around her nickname. Fans have long been obsessed with the couple's relationship, with many praising how much Jett seems to appreciate his wife dressing up and surprising him. Theirs fans have also begun to speculate that they're acting for the camera. Pookie and Jett, who celebrated their seventh wedding anniversary in April, have also found themselves embroiled in a bitter controversy after images of Pookie 'cosplaying as a slave owner' at a plantation-themed party during her days as an Ole Miss college student resurfaced. Several unearthed photos of Pookie dressed in 'southern plantation glam' while attending the event have been posted on TikTok and Reddit last year - sparking a wave of backlash against the newly-minted influencer. The images show Pookie attending what appears to be an Antebellum-themed party, otherwise known as an 'Old South' party, at the University of Mississippi. Antebellum plantation-themed parties take inspiration from the period before the American Civil War, when wealthy white planters wielded the majority of power in the South - and often owned black slaves. In the images shared of Pookie, the influencer is seen dressed in a lacy pink-and-white ball gown, striking a number of poses, and standing alongside several fellow college students who are seen sporting similar attire. Pookie, who hasn't addressed her Melania outfit, did address her Ole Miss costume on her Instagram. 'As some of you may have seen, some old photos of mine recently resurfaced. At the time these photos were taken, I was 20. I didn't fully understand the impact of my actions the way I do now, 12 years later,' she wrote. 'I fully apologize for the harm this may have caused for some and take full responsibility. Jett and I love sharing our lives with you all and getting to know our community on such an intimate level. 'Because we live our lives so publicly, everything is on the internet, even my mistakes. We hope to continue to bring you with us on our journey as we continue to learn and grow.' Pookie currently has almost 200,000 TikTok followers and has gained more than six million likes.

The 100 best British TV shows of the 21st century
W hat is the best British television show of the century so far? That's the question the Times and Sunday Times TV team has set out to answer. With the help of some of the nation's top writers, actors and actresses, from Stephen Merchant and Michael Sheen to Joanne Froggatt and Lucy Prebble, our team of television critics has assembled a list of 100 that includes the best drama, comedy, documentaries and entertainment formats of the past 25 years. Almost all are available to watch now thanks to the streaming revolution that has transformed TV. The rules are simple. The programmes must be British, so classic American dramas such as The Sopranos and Game of Thrones aren't allowed, and the shows must have been first broadcast after January 1, 2000. That means reboots of shows that were first broadcast in the 20th century are ineligible. It's why you won't see Doctor Who, which began in 1963, but returned in 2005 after a 13-year hiatus, on our list.
