Dua Lipa recreates heartwarming childhood snap with her sister Rina during their sun-soaked getaway
The singer, 29, is currently enjoying a sun-drenched getaway with friends and family ahead of her milestone 30th birthday celebrations.
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.
The sweet snaps come just a day after Dua turned up the heat as she shared a sizzling set of holiday snaps with her fiancé, Callum Turner.
The hitmaker wowed in a daring custom Jacquemus knit dress that clung to her toned figure and teased glimpses of skin with its racy cut-outs.
From the front, the boatneck number exuded elegance with its delicate knit shimmering with white reflective sequins.
But from the back and sides, the dress set pulses racing - revealing generous flashes of skin that left little to the imagination.
Posing against a whitewashed wall and beside a glittering cliffside pool, Dua showed off her sun-kissed skin.
Callum looked every bit the leading man beside her in a crisp blue-and-white shirt and beige trousers.
The pair later swapped the poolside backdrop for a beach club, where Dua continued to share loved-up moments.
Alongside the carousel of snaps, she penned: '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!!!!'
While the singer did not specify her location in the post, she did headline the Sunny Hill Festival in Kosovo earlier this month.
The snaps come after Dua recently revealed that she has been given Kosovo citizenship.
The pair later swapped the poolside backdrop for a beach club, where Dua continued to wow for the camera
Hailing the singer as 'one of the most iconic cultural figures in our country's history', Kosovo President Vjosa Osmani said it was an 'honour' granting Dua citizenship.
Dua, who also holds British and Albanian citizenship, said she 'feels like my two sides are now one'.
In a statement, she said: 'It completes the duality I have always had within.
'I love this country and this means so much to me and my family.'
Dua often speaks about her love for Kosovo, and helped set up a charity that focuses on helping vulnerable communities.
The superstar was born in London in 1995 to immigrant Albanian parents Anesa and Dukagjin from Kosovo.
Dua, who started singing at five years old, was musically influenced by her father, a former singer and guitarist of a rock band.
She started to post her songs on YouTube when she was 14. Her first debut album was released in 2017.
In 2019, she won the Grammy Award for Best New Artist.

Lorraine Stanley looks slimmer than ever as she shows off incredible 5st weight loss in bikini on holiday
LORRAINE Stanley showed off her 5st weight loss in a black bikini while on holiday with her family in Spain. The EastEnders star, best known for playing Karen Taylor in the BBC soap, was seen running along a sandy beach with her daughter Nancy and her fiance Mark Perez. 6 6 Lorraine put her slim figure on display in a matching bikini top and bottoms. She looked in good spirits as she enjoyed some quality time with her daughter and partner. Lorraine has been visiting Sitges, a vibrant coastal town in Catalonia, Spain. Just last week Lorraine stunned in a white minidress during her hen do - as she gears up to marry Mark. The couple are tying the knot in a much-anticipated ceremony surrounded by close friends and family. She got engaged to Mark, a property developer, after she popped the question to him on his birthday in 2023. Lorraine and Mark first met through mutual friends and said their connection was instant. WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY In a desperate bid to change her appearance and feel healthier, the star embarked on an epic weight loss journey courtesy of fat jabs and surgery. Lorraine has admitted that using weight-loss injections wasn't for her after becoming "immune" to them. In a new interview, she confessed to using Wegovy, a weight-loss jab similar to Ozempic and Mounjaro, but she failed to find her desired figure on the medication. Lorraine told the Mirror: "I'd tried Wegovy. I have friends on different weight-loss jabs and they work for them. "I'm not against them, but for whatever reason I feel like I got immune to them. "It got to the point where I was injecting myself and eating at the same time. "I was thinking, 'What the hell are you doing?' So I decided that was it, time to get this surgery booked." Lorraine revealed that she opted to shell out "thousands" to undergo weight-loss surgery at a top Harley Street clinic in London. The actress confessed: "I'm not going to lie, nor am I promoting it, but I had weight-loss surgery two years ago. "I had a gastric sleeve. I went to Harley Street. I didn't go to a clinic in Turkey or anything. "In saying that, I've had friends who've gone to Turkey and had great experiences, but I didn't trust that process. "So, yeah, I went to a London clinic, paid an awful lot of money and had it done. It's hands-down the best thing I've ever done – both for me and for my family." She continued to the publication: "I was at home watching an episode of EastEnders I was in and I could barely look at myself. "The person on screen was unrecognisable to me. "I know TV puts a stone on you, but… so yes, there was an element of vanity, but it was also me wanting to change things for my daughter and our future." Lorraine has now been shy of showing off her svelte figure following her six and a half stone weight loss. She said: "I weigh 8st now. If you look at my little wrists and ankles, this is the weight I should have been. "I should be a thin person. And I always was, until I hit my late twenties." 6 6 6

The pretty seafront campsite on the English Riviera with heated swimming pools that still has summer pitches from £12
CAMPING can be a great way to holiday, and it's even better when your pitch looks over the English Riviera. Think incredible Devon beach views, as well as swimming pools, a sauna, on-site bar, restaurants and plenty of entertainment. 6 6 You'll get all that and more at Beverley Park in Paignton, Devon, where there are plenty of caravan and tent pitches still available for summer stays. And one of the highlights of this holiday park is the views across the incredible Broadsands Beach in Torbay. There's also plenty to do for both adults and kids, including splashing about in the two heated outdoor swimming pools. For those who fancy a little pampering, the on-site spa has a sauna, steam room and hot tub, you can also catch a show at the Starlight Bar. Other activities include the outdoor adventure playgrounds, kids' clubs, paddling pools, soft play, family amusements and an indoor playroom. There's also a Jetty Restaurant, the Catch Takeaway, Saltwater Kitchen and Terrace and Boulevard Café, where visitors can enjoy the seaside staple, fish and chips, and have a drink. You'll find the campsite overlooking the incredible Broadsands Beach in Torbay, which is a favourite spot of Travel Reporter Cyann Fielding. She said: "I might be biased as this beach was a huge part of my childhood, but Broadsands Beach is a hidden gem. "At both ends of the beach, there are numerous rocks to explore and then the beach itself is made of the typical red sand found in Devon - due to the soil in the area." English beach town to get new £14million seafront 6 6 Cyann continued: "A long stretching promenade runs alongside the beach and there are a few places to grab a bite to eat or a coffee. "Whilst on occasions a lot of seaweed does wash up on the beach, Broadsands does have a blue flag." The campsite is unsurprisingly a popular spot, one visitor wrote in their review: "The views are absolutely stunning, friendly staff, brilliant heated pool, entertainment also really good! Such a lovely friendly family place!" Another added: "Plenty of things to do enjoyed bingo and family entertainment. "The food at the jetty was excellent including the carvery. And the view across the bay is amazing." There's still space this summer for a tent pitch, a family of four can stay for two nights between 26-28 August 2025. With two infants (children under four) this will cost £12 per person per night. With children over four this works out at £14.50 per person per night. 6 Along the coast, and just seven minutes away in the car, is the town of Paignton. It's best known for having a pink sand beach, which is caused by iron minerals in the sand oxidising in the air. Nearby, there's also Splashdown Quay West, which is the UK's largest outdoor water park. Soon, Paignton will have a new look as plans are underway to transform the seafront. As part of a £14million scheme two seafronts in the Devonshire beach town, Paignton and Preston Sands will be upgraded to improve sea defences. The seafront at Paignton will get new seating terraces, and the shelters, kiosks and cafes will be relocated as part of the overhaul. A new entrance on South Green will give vehicles access to the seafront, although no traffic will be allowed onto the promenade. Check out the ultimate staycation destination in Devon which has two beach-fringed coasts, stargazing parks and picturesque seaside villages. Plus, read more from our travel reporter who's a Devon local and revealed her best spots that The Salt Path movie doesn't show. 6
