Global pop sensation Dua Lipa treated her followers to a blast from the past this Friday, sharing a series of nostalgic snaps from 2016 on her Instagram feed.
A Nostalgic Fashion Flashback
The 30-year-old singer, who has become a style icon in her own right, showcased the distinctive looks of the era. In one image, she posed on a staircase wearing thigh-high leather boots and a pink satin dress. Another photo highlighted her unique fashion sense, featuring a faux fur coat paired with pink gloves and fishnet leggings.
True to the mid-2010s aesthetic, Dua was seen in several pictures wearing large black chokers, with her hair slicked into a high ponytail. She also modelled a sparkly diamond choker with a large red jumper dress and her signature thigh-high boots.
Star-Studded Memories and Present-Day Downtime
Her album of throwbacks included a memorable shot of the star partying with rapper Post Malone, who was pictured leaning his head on her shoulder. Alongside the carousel of images, Dua penned a caption that resonated with many: 'wow these 2016 memories are making me wanna unarchive everything'.
This trip down memory lane comes as Dua enjoys a well-earned break. She recently wrapped up her successful Radical Optimism tour in Mexico last December. To kick off 2026, she has been embracing some cosy downtime, first braving the UK snow with her fiancé, actor Callum Turner, and their dog, and then gallivanting around Paris.
From Tour Profits to Wedding Plans
The singer's professional success continues to reach new heights. Accounts for her company, Radical22 Live, revealed a turnover of £45.6 million in the year to last March. This equated to earnings of approximately £124,000 per day, generating a pre-tax profit of £5.9 million. Dua paid herself a dividend of £11.3 million from this venture alone.
With another £23.2 million in turnover reported by her other firm just before Christmas, the pop star's financial future looks secure. This fortune will undoubtedly fund a lavish wedding when she eventually exchanges vows with Callum Turner, to whom she became engaged last June.
While many celebrities jetted off to exotic locations for the new year, Dua and Callum opted for a quieter return to Britain after a hectic 2025, which saw her complete a global tour and him promote his new film.
