Dua Lipa Has Already Amassed Enough Global Hits and Social Followers to Land Her Among the Most Successful Artists Making Music Today. Even if You Think You Don’t Know Her, You Do.
“How do you like your eggs?” Dua Lipa asks me, standing in the kitchen of the West Hollywood Airbnb she’s calling home this month. “I boil them, but I can soft-boil them if you prefer.” We’ve just finished a light (for her) circuit workout with Swedish trainer-to-the-stars Magnus Lygdback by the pool. And now Lipa, wearing a Balenciaga T-shirt and baggy Y-3 sweatpants, her short hair pulled up in a cheetah-print scrunchie, is making breakfast. She loves eggs. Eats them throughout the day as snacks on tour. Back home in London (a rarity these days), she’ll buy hard-boiled loosies. In the States, however, “they do them in weird vacuum packs, and I don’t fuck with those.”
At the moment, packaging of any sort is challenging for Lipa, due to the tiny tchotchkes that adorn the 23-year-old’s silver-manicured nails. She’ll ask for assistance peeling the eggs once they’re done. Just checking her phone is difficult. “I’m going to break my fucking screen!” she declares, opening her email. Earlier, during our workout, she laughed at just how outrageous her nails are. “Aren’t they crazy?” she asked, mid–plank position. “They’re heavy, adding to this workout! And my hair gets stuck in them all the time.” Later, I ask to take a photo of them. She has to scrub them clean of avocado first.
