Dua Lipa danced the night away in India to close the book on 2023.
The “Don’t Start Now” singer took to Instagram on three separate occasions to document her incredible visit and express gratitude as she welcomes 2024. In Dua’s most recent post, she looks celebration ready in a sweeping brown halter dress featuring center slits down the bodice and skirt, which she accented with a matching leather purse, black pointed-toe heels, gorgeous gold drop earrings, a gold watch, and a gold chain that peaked out beneath her gown’s neck detail. She glammed up with a dark smokey eye and brown-red lips and wore her fiery red hair down and natural. Dua struck several poses in her sultry look, some in front of a beautiful candle-lined courtyard, another in a Mughal arched doorway, and others with her family.
“New Year’s Eve in Jaipur 🇮🇳🫀,” she captioned the post.
Dua also shared a series of selfies from the end of her night, looking rosy-faced and cozy all wrapped up in a white bathrobe. “anyone else do this after 5 negroni’s? Happy 2024!!!” she cheekily wrote.
Earlier in the day, Dua captured her fans’ hearts with a wholesome photo dump. In the first slide, she looks glowy and relaxed as she sips on coffee while wearing a loose-fitting yellow-and-red blouse and letting her vibrant locks cascade down around her shoulders. The singer captured several other immersive moments, including a clip of traditional Indian dancing, a video of a Bengal tiger, a slide of herself riding a horse, a snap of herself beaming next to an elephant, and a blurry photo of herself immersed in a night of fun wearing a white strapless top and matching flowy pants.
“I feel so beyond lucky to end my year here in India. Thank you to all the wonderful people here who have shown us so much love, kindness, hospitality and generosity,” she expressed in the caption. “This experience has been deeply meaningful. I feel lucky to be in and within the magic with my family where we have had the time to explore, regroup, recharge and restart. Ready for the year ahead. What a joy!!! 💛!!!!”
Dua has a big year coming up, including the Grammy Awards in February. The pop star’s hit “Dance the Night” from summer blockbuster Barbie was nominated for Best Song Written for Visual Media and Song of the Year.
