Celebrity Diamond Jewelry Spotlight: Dua Lipa
Music’s hottest “it girl” Dua Lipa is no stranger to jaw-dropping diamond ensembles.

Most recently, she contributed to the Barbie movie soundtrack with her instant hit, “Dance the Night Away” and in March 2024, she announced her newest album, Radical Optimism, set to drop in May. The album will feature hit singles “Houdini” and “Training Season” along with nine more new tracks.
It didn’t take long for the artist to become just as known for her fashion as she is for her music. Lipa regularly rakes in ‘best dressed’ accolades for nearly all of her appearances, with many celebrating her ability to take classic looks and give them a bit of rock and roll edge.
