Dua Lipa sent pulses racing in a skimpy sparkly bikini as she soaked up the sun with her friends and sister in Majorca on Friday.
The singer, 29, flaunted her incredible physique while hitting the beach, less than a week after her romantic Italian getaway with fiancé Callum Turner, 35.
Dua posed up a storm in the tiny two piece as she dined with her pals overlooking the ocean before later wrapping a black beach skirt around her tiny waist.
She shares a slew of selfies with her gorgeous pals as they explored the island while topping up their tans.
Dua captioned the post: 'Deià con mis hermanaaaas' which translates to 'Deià with my sisters'.
It comes after fans couldn't help but poke fun at the pop star's jet set lifestyle after it was revealed that she was on yet another trip with her fiancé.
Most recently, they headed to Italy, where they were spotted soaking up the sun on a stunning beach in a series of social media posts.
But as she continues to document her lavish trips online, some X, formerly Twitter, users cracked jokes about her nonstop traveling.
Many wondered where she and Callum would go for their honeymoon since the couple had already been 'everywhere.'
Some even joked that she might take it to the next extreme and head to space.
'This girl has already traveled all over the world, where are they going for their honeymoon to make it memorable? Mars?' one user jokingly wondered on X.
'Their honeymoon is gonna be three years long,' another wrote.
'For their honeymoon, they will discover Atlantis,' someone else theorized.
'LMAO right?!? Girl has literally been EVERYWHERE,' a fourth comment read.
Dua looked nothing short of sensational as she topped up her tan
'Pre-honeymoon in Mount Everest, main honeymoon on Mars, [and] post-honeymoon in Titanic wreckage,' a fifth said.
Others suggested the Arctic and Antarctica, while one even joked they might go to the moon sometime soon.
Some people referred to the pop singer's lyrics from her hit song Levitating.
'She did say, "Whatever, let's get lost on Mars,"' one said.
'She knows a galaxy they can run off to,' another humored.
Dua is well-aware of the travel jokes and previously made a statement about it with British Vogue.
'I'm not always on holiday, I just make everything I do feel like a holiday,' she told the outlet last month.
The hitmaker was recently spotted with her actor fiancé Callum, as they soaked up the sun on the beaches of the Amalfi Coast.

Taking to Instagram on Wednesday, Dua put on a sizzling display as she relaxed on a sun lounger in a black and white polka dot bikini with lace lining.
Elsewhere in the post, Dua shared more sweet snaps with actor Callum, as he draped his arm around the singer's shoulder in a selfie.
Dua also shared a picture of Callum in front of a stunning view of the turquoise water and nearby cliffs, as well as the window looking out of a helicopter as they enjoyed a VIP flight.
In another snap, Dua could be seen sporting a cropped green T-shirt and jeans, as well as a baseball cap, as she wandered the cobbled streets.

The ‘Untalented Mr Ripley' accused of double murder

A Hollywood fraudster who fooled the Italian government into funding a non-existent film is at the centre of a real-life murder investigation after he was accused of killing his partner and daughter. Francis Charles Kaufmann, 46, fled from Italy to the Greek island of Skiathos after the discovery of the bodies in a park in Rome last month. He has been arrested and awaits extradition. He is, according to the Italian magistrate Flavia Costantini, 'a highly skilled criminal'. The hunt for Kaufmann started on June 7 when the body of Anastasia Trofimova, a 28-year-old Russian, was found hidden in the bushes in Villa Pamphili park. Trofimova is likely to have died of suffocation. Nearby, the body of her 11-month-old daughter was found, possibly strangled. Witnesses had seen the mother and daughter sleeping rough in the park with a man who had also been spotted drunkenly wandering with them around the centre of Rome, and who was identified during a police check as Rexal Ford. This was later found to be a fake name used by the American. The man's final encounter with police was on June 5, when he was seen walking without the woman but carrying the baby in one arm and a bottle of wine in the other. Officers let him go, although investigators suspect Trofimova may have already been dead by then, and the infant had hours left to live. Kaufmann, a Californian, had posed as a film producer in Rome to obtain €863,595 in tax credits from the Italian culture ministry for a film that was never made. The head of the ministry's film department resigned over the incident this week. Using another alias — Matteo Capozzi — Kaufmann claimed to have worked with the American director Clint Eastwood and on the 2017 Ridley Scott film All the Money in the World, which has been denied by the production. Investigators realised they were searching for a fraudster whose life increasingly resembled the film and novel The Talented Mr Ripley, in which an American con artist invents his past and goes on a killing spree in Italy. Kaufmann is said to have met Trofimova while she was on holiday in Malta in 2023. Their daughter was born last summer. Since Trofimova's tourist visa had expired, Kaufmann chartered a yacht to take them to Sicily to avoid customs upon entering Italy. Once in Rome, Kaufmann tried to broker new film deals but appears to have run out of money. When his real name emerged, the Italian daily newspaper La Repubblica tracked down his sister in Los Angeles, who claimed Kaufmann was a dangerous con man. 'Charlie was brilliant, he had a way with people,' she told the newspaper. 'He knew how to empathise immediately. When he lived in Los Angeles he would go to dinner with Hollywood directors, with famous musicians. He knew hundreds of stars of the entertainment world.' Even though he studied film he had only been involved in a few productions, she added. 'He would be capable of selling you your own clothes. He has always been brilliant, handsome, with thousands of women flocking after him,' she said. 'At home we called him the Untalented Mr Ripley.' He also had a dark side, she claimed. 'He is violent, especially when he drinks or takes drugs. His brain goes blank, he cannot manage his anger. He becomes a monster.' She added that after attacking one of his brothers, he changed his name to Rexal Ford and left the US. Italian magistrates have reported that Kaufmann was arrested for assault five times in the US and had spent 120 days in jail. On June 5, the day he was spotted by police with Andromeda, Kaufmann left a voice mail for an Italian contact, claiming Trofimova had left him for a richer man, leaving him with the baby. 'Unfortunately, she is not seeing the big future,' he said, adding: 'Whatever it is, it's all good.' On June 11 Kaufmann took a Ryanair flight to Skiathos and was arrested two days later. He will be brought back to Rome for interrogation next week. In a video conference with an Italian magistrate, he said: 'I am innocent, I didn't kill them.' He also accused the Italian police of being 'mafiosi'. Writing in the arrest warrant, Costantini accused Kaufmann of strangling his daughter, describing it as an act of 'instinctive cruelty' that revealed 'the extreme dangerousness of the man'.

The rise of the multi-million-euro luxury Irish wedding

There are weddings and then there's the super-wedding: A multi-day affair with a multi-euro price tag. Bespoke glass marquees, Dior gowns, guest portraits and A-list performers are just some of the lavish details that tot up the eye-watering costs of a €1 million-plus dream day. The celebrity wedding planner Marcy Blum organised the May wedding of the New York couple Ally Rice and Sean Fernando Adare Manor in Co Limerick, which went viral after photos and videos were widely shared on TikTok and Instagram, in collaboration with the London production team Bespoke Events. Some suggest that the couple's three-day affair came in at a seven-figure sum. Rory McIlroy's wedding to Erica Stoll at Ashford Castle in Co Mayo, in April 2017, is estimated to have cost about €1 million — a chunky price tag but a mere fraction of the €40 million to €50 million that Jeff Bezos, the billionaire Amazon founder, is estimated to have dropped when tying the knot with the former journalist Lauren Sánchez in a lavish, star-studded three-day event in Venice last week. And even that figure is a drop in the ocean compared with the most expensive wedding in the world, which took place last July in Mumbai. An estimated €500 million was spent on the marathon nuptials of Radhika Merchant and Anant Ambani, the youngest son of Asia's richest man, Mukesh Ambani. The three-day prewedding celebrations alone cost €135 million. The Limerick-based international luxury wedding planner Olivia Buckley regularly designs, plans and oversees destination weddings in Ireland and Europe. 'Multiday events with extensive production, bespoke structures and immersive experiences often reach into the multimillion-euro range,' she says. She adds that from her own experience of planning super weddings of this magnitude, a budget of €3 million to €5 million would be necessary to create a truly bespoke experience. She recommends couples allow 'at least 18 months for the planning of their wedding, or up to 24 months for logistically complex experiences'. That's longer than it takes to make some movies. • The €500,000 Irish wedding — inside the fairytale big day of wealthy couples One of the most elaborate aspects of the Adare wedding was the bespoke glass marquee. Buckley has facilitated similar requests over the years. 'We were once asked to create a Midsummer Night's Dream-inspired celebration, complete with Celtic symbolism, fairy folklore and set within a bespoke glass marquee. 'Costs can vary significantly, but a glass or orangery-style marquee represents a significant investment because, beyond the aesthetic elements like lighting, staging and furniture, there are essential infrastructural requirements: satellite kitchens, power, plumbing, bathroom facilities and sometimes scaffolding, depending on the site. 'Prices typically start at €250,000 and increase based on scale, guest numbers and overall design ambition.' The glass marquee may have created a fairytale atmosphere, but €250,000 is a frightening amount of money to pay for one single element of a multiday celebration. Flowers also added hugely to the romantic vibe and fantastical feel of this wedding and Buckley estimates that the floral budget for a luxury event such as this would start at €75,000. • Confessions of the wedding planners to the super-rich 'Flowers can be one of the most impactful design elements when transforming a space, especially across a weekend celebration. When floral design is woven through multiple events, from welcome dinners to ceremonies and receptions, the cost naturally increases,' she explains. Ellen Rose Bird from Dublin is a wedding content creator. In 2022 she established her company, Your Story by Elle, and since then she has witnessed weddings get bigger, bolder and more elaborate. Media teams (a content creator, photographer and videographer) are part and parcel of weddings these days, and when really large numbers of guests are involved this team can double in size, Bird explains. Couples want their weddings to be highly personalised and experiential, she says. Add-ons such as painters making portraits of guests, custom-built walls decorated with handwritten notes for attendees, falconry shows, tennis courts, afternoon teas, picnics, rehearsal dinners and bridal brunches are all possible. 'Weddings are much more experiential these days — couples want their guests to be really well taken care of. Nobody wants to wait until ten o'clock for the party to start, so all-day entertainment is usual and bespoke cocktails and open bars are common. No guest will have to queue at the bar, though. Waiters are always on hand to serve guests.' Buckley concurs. 'Couples are looking to offer their guests an unforgettable experience, a true escape from the everyday. We've worked with internationally renowned headliners and A-list performers, who can command fees in the range of €1 million to €2 million.' Bird covered 50 weddings last year and she will create content for 70 couples by the end of 2025. She's noticed that brides no longer simply invest in a wedding dress but curate wedding wardrobes for their multiday celebrations. 'Embroidered robes are often worn by brides as they get ready for the ceremony. One particular bride had sourced a vintage Dior slip. I see a huge number of bespoke bridal gowns and dramatic veils, and second dresses are the norm now,' Bird says. The wedding and event planner Sarah Riney, founder of the New York-based Clover & Ivy Events, has even seen brides have their hair cut and completely restyled between outfit changes. • How to be a cool bride in 2025 — from the hen do to the wedding dress Riney has regularly planned destination weddings to Ireland since she launched her business in 2018 and she reveals it's not uncommon for a client to have a bridal stylist travel with her. She reiterates that modern weddings are all about bespoke details and unique experiences. 'One of our brides wanted her wedding themed around the Disney movie Brave, another requested an enchanted forest ceremony, while another decided to marry on the Cliffs of Moher.' Bird is currently planning her own wedding, making her especially price aware. She says that a large number of the weddings she has worked on have hit or exceeded the €1 million mark. The majority of those couples are Irish, she says, while only three were not and they were from the US. Social media has raised awareness of what's possible, Buckley says, inspiring clients to push the boundaries and design something truly personal. 'The rise in spending is about creating an experience that feels meaningful, immersive and entirely one-of-a-kind.'

YouTuber stages his own death to get a refund from airline

British youtuber and comedian Max Fosh staged his own death to claim a $50 refund for a cancelled flight. Fosh undertook the elaborate scheme out of 'pettiness' and 'principle' after discovering the airline only offered cash refunds to deceased passengers. He travelled to Seborga, a self-proclaimed principality in Italy, where Princess Nina Menegatto provided a special, one-off death certificate for entertainment purposes. After holding a mock funeral and submitting the documentation, the airline agreed to process his refund application. Fosh's lawyer advised him against claiming the money, deeming the act 'fraudulent,' leading Fosh to abandon the claim and warn viewers not to replicate the stunt.
