Dua Lipa turns heads in a racy cut-out dress as she cosies up to fiancé Callum Turner in sizzling holiday snaps
The hitmaker, 29, 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.
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.'
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!!!!'
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.
British singer Rita Ora is also from Kosovo, but does not have citizenship.

Stacey Solomon stuns in a cream bikini as she and husband Joe Swash put on an animated display at the adults pool party during family holiday
Stacey Solomon and husband Joe Swash put on an animated display at the adults pool party during their family holiday in Turkey. The TV personality, 35, looked nothing short of sensational as she showed off her figure in a cream bikini. Meanwhile, Joe went shirtless and wore black trunks while dancing with other attendees at the party. The pair couldn't stop laughing as they jumped on a large pink inflatable flamingo, before putting on a loved-up display in the pool. Alongside the clip, Stacey wrote: 'Mum & Dad. Also once upon a time known as Stacey & Joe. For one hour today we were them again. Forever Grateful for the craft afternoon at the kids club love you @joeswash' Elsewhere, Stacey shared loved-up snaps with her husband Joe after having to clarify his whereabouts on their family holiday. She took to Instagram on Tuesday to share clips from a date night on the beach with Joe during their trip to Turkey. Despite previously sharing a sweet family snap with her spouse on the holiday, Stacey took to her Stories on Sunday to clarify that Joe was with her on the trip after fans queried where he was. The star posted a loved-up snap with her husband, writing: 'For everyone asking... of course Joe's here, but we have five kids so anyone with kids knows you're always on split shifts. Here's a rare photo of us from last night.' Again proving he was on the trip, Stacey shared that her sister Samantha Stone had taken the kids to the disco so that she and Joe could enjoy a rare date night. 'Mum and dad,' Stacey captioned a sweet selfie of her and Joe sipping rose wine on the beach. Stacey also shared a clip where Joe was driving them to the beach on a gold buggy, before he kissed her forehead. She later posted another video of her and Joe lying on a bench on the beach giving fans an insight into their evening. Stacey said: 'People "What did you do on your date night?" Us: Laid there in silence and didn't talk to each other. This is true love. This is true love.' Alongside the clip, Stacey wrote: 'Mum & Dad. Also once upon a time known as Stacey & Joe. For one hour today we were them again. Forever Grateful for the craft afternoon at the kids club love you @joeswash' 'When silence isn't awkward, it's embraced,' Joe said, as Stacey added: 'Have you even got something to rest your head on? Are you just hanging off the edge?' Joe laughed as he said: 'No this is quite uncomfortable actually. It's like the ultimate ab workout.' 'Why have you laid like that? Why have you done that?' Stacey said. Joe sweetly replied: 'Because I offered you my arm and didn't realise no one's there to offer me their arm. 'So I've just got to hover my head a little bit.' Stacey added: 'And that is true love. Suspended over a bench to make me comfortable.' It comes after Stacey hit back at trolls questioning whether her husband Joe Swash has jetted off on holiday with her. She had been sharing a glimpse at her family's summer break at a swanky £1,000-per-night hotel in Turkey. Stacey has been soaking up the sun with her five children at the Regnum Carya hotel, and has posted various snaps from the trip on Instagram. Hours earlier, Stacey showed off her figure in a plunging yellow bikini as she enjoyed a ride on a rubber ring going down a water slide. The star admitted she was hoping to avoid washing her hair by using heatless curlers, and it proved to be a success as she displayed her bouncy waves in her hotel room later in the evening. Stacey is currently away with her husband Joe Swash , 43, as well as their children, Rex, five, Rose, three, and Belle, two, as well as Stacey's older sons Zachary, 17, and Leighton, 12, from two previous relationships. Stacey and Joe have long been regulars at Regnum Carya. Prices at the lavish hotel begin at £1,000 per night.

Style experts slam ICE Barbie Kristi Noem for dressing more like a 'media personality' than 'cabinet official'
Style experts aren't exactly sure what to make of United States Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem's evolving style. Noem, 53, began her political career as a member of the South Dakota state house of representatives in 2007, later sitting as the Governor of South Dakota before she was appointed to President Trump's cabinet. Since she's moved up in political ranks, it appears that her style has as well, as she's been seen sporting a myriad of designer labels in recent months, even wearing a $50,000 Rolex watch during a March visit to a prison in El Salvador. And her dramatic ensembles have even earned her the nickname 'ICE Barbie' in recent months. Her signature look now includes long, waved locks and a face of full glam and she often sports bold and dramatic ensembles. It's a far cry from her previous outfits as a member of The House of Reps, and even Governor, when she would wear flannel shirts and rocked a short, feathered hairdo. And according to style experts, her change in appearance could represent something deeper. Elena Mensch, founder of Velvet Image Lab, told the Daily Mail that as Governor, Noem's outfits gave the message that said 'I'm one of you' - wearing things like cowboy boots and rancher hats. 'It worked because cowboy culture runs deep there. Now as Secretary? Everything's shifted toward high-glam production: the enhanced makeup, completely new hairstyle, body-conscious cuts that emphasize femininity over authority,' Mensch shared. The professional stylist explained that Noem has now traded her 'authentic western vibe' for something that's more fitting for a 'media personality' than a 'cabinet official.' 'Some experts think she's simply trying to fit Trump's type, trading authority for femininity,' Mensch said. 'But here's what I see: a recently promoted woman who hasn't figured out her new visual language yet.' 'She's throwing everything at the wall – glamorous party girl one day, tactical tough guy the next, prairie rancher on weekends,' she continued. At the end of the day, Mensch said that the 'real problem' is the fact that the Secretary hasn't picked a lane. 'Instead, we get this bizarre mashup – full glam makeup and perfect blowout... while wearing a bulletproof vest on ICE raids,' the expert shared. 'No actual service member operates with loose hair flying – it's dangerous and impractical. 'As well as no one goes to visit deportees in detention wearing $50K gold Rolex – it's just not a good idea. 'Actually, it's the perfect metaphor for her whole approach – luxury aesthetics meets law enforcement cosplay,' she added. 'But when you're trying to be everything at once, it's just not working – you just send mixed signals and confuse everyone.' Cynthia Kennedy, CEO of Cynthia Kennedy Stylist & Your Style Transformation Academy, seemed to have a similar take on Noem's evolved style. 'When she was Governor, Kristi's style had that polished, conservative politician look - structured dresses, blazers, and neutral color palettes,' Kennedy told the Daily Mail. 'Since she's received her new role and has stepped onto a bigger national stage, she's moved toward a sleeker, more tailored aesthetic that feels more high-fashion and image-conscious,' she noted. And there's one style that Kennedy believes Noem might want to stay away from: clothes that have an 'ultra bodycon fit' to them. 'While they can look striking, they sometimes toe the line between polished and overdone for a political setting,' the styling expert explained. 'Slightly softer tailoring - think a little more drape in the skirt or a wider-leg trouser - could still look powerful but would bring a modern ease to her style,' Kennedy said. 'It would keep the sophistication she's aiming for but feel less "on the nose" in terms of formality and fit.' Last week, Noem lashed out at South Park for mocking her looks. Speaking with conservative political commentator Glenn Beck on his podcast, Noem described the content as 'lazy.' 'I didn't get to see it, I was going over budget numbers. I just think it never ends, it's lazy to constantly make fun of women for how they look,' she said. 'Always the liberals and extremists do that, if they wanted to criticize my job go ahead and do that but clearly they can't. They just pick something petty like that.'
