Dua Lipa downs Guinness as she parties Irish-style to celebrate successful tour
Dua Lipa got into the Irish spirit by downing a Guinness as she celebrated her successful tour.
The pop star, 29, downed a pint at a bar in Dublin Saturday after selling out five stadium shows in the last week.
In a video shared online the singer swilled stout as she partied with her loved ones in the Irish capital.
Her Radical Optimism tour has seen her play two nights at Wembley in London, two at Liverpool's Anfield and her final night at Dublin's Aviva Stadium.
In the video shared on her Instagram, Dua perfectly split the G as she partied with her loved ones in the Irish city.
Taking to social media, Dua looked as radiant as ever in a white baedeau top next to her fiance Callum Turner.
She wrote: '5 SOLD OUT STADIUMS IN A ROW!!!! ~ ONLY ONE WAY TO CELEBRATE!!!! BY SPLITTING THE G!!!!!!'
Dua brought out Charli XCX at one Wembley show, performing 360 and sending the crowd wild.
It's not the only thing she has been celebrating, though, as her mother Anesa turned 52 over the weekend.
The singer paid a heartwarming tribute to Anesa on Instagram.
Dua delighted fans by sharing a series of adorable throwback photos, along with more recent snaps of the mother-daughter duo over the years.
In one photo, Dua looked sensational in a sparkly silver bodysuit and black fishnet tights as she posed alongside her glamorous mom.
Another sweet throwback showed Anesa as a young mother cradling baby Dua, bearing a striking resemblance to her daughter.
The pair also posed for a summery selfie in swimsuits on a sunny day, with Dua beaming at the camera while her mom pouted playfully.
Elsewhere, Anesa exuded elegance in a black sequined dress during a night out, while another vintage snap saw her flaunting her incredible figure in a busty black bikini top and matching sarong.
Worth the wait: Her radical optimism tour has seen her play two nights at Wembley in London, two at Liverpool's Anfield and her final night at Dublin's Aviva Stadium
Captioning the post, Dua wrote: 'Happy Birthday to my beautiful Mama ❤️ @anesalipa.
'The life of the party (up dancing til 4am most nights) and the voice of reason ~ somehow both can exist at the same time ~ të dua të dua të dua (love you love you).'
Anesa sweetly replied in the comments: 'I LOVE YOU DUA!!! ♥️♥️♥️.'
The sweet post comes after Dua pushed through the rainy weather in Liverpool on Tuesday night as she stepped onto the stage for her first Radical Optimism tour gig at Anfield.
The singer, who performed a second night at the stadium on June 26, ensured a killer performance for fans despite the weather.

From the Olympics to the Lions; Keenan ready to make history
Twelve months ago, Hugo Keenan was preparing for the Paris Olympics as a member of the Ireland Rugby 7s he's ready to stake his claim for a British and Irish Lions test place and in doing so is creating a little bit of the Ireland full-back steps onto the pitch to face the Queensland Reds on Wednesday he will become the first Irish player to represent his country at the Olympics and the Lions. 'I wouldn't compare one to the other. I suppose what comparison I would make is that when you come into a new squad it was deja vu to that nearly butterfly feeling in your stomach of the nerves of meeting guys you hadn't known before,' explained Keenan.'It was similar in the Sevens squad. I knew maybe 50% of the lads in the squad and had close bonds with them similar to the Lions where you know all your country teammates and you've come across a few others along the way.'But then there's also new lads here you need to get to know and build up those connections and yeah I'm definitely taking some of the learnings I have from going off to a new team, a new squad, a new sport in one sense in the case of the Sevens and trying to bring it into the Lions.'I've been lucky to have been a part of that Olympic journey and I'm lucky to be here today on this Lions journey. Just feeling very privileged.' The Ireland full-back has been sidelined with a calf injury that caused him to miss Leinster's end-of-season win in the United Rugby Championship and has led to a frustrating beginning to his Lions his absence and that of Blair Kinghorn, who arrives in Brisbane on Monday evening following Toulouse's win in the Top 14, the battle for the full back shirt in the test matches is wide open with England's Elliot Daly stepping up against the Western Force, scoring two tries and putting in an impressive performance. 'It's been a frustrating couple of weeks missing out on the final with Leinster and then maybe not being able to participate as much at the start of this tour as I would have liked.'But excited now to put on the red jersey and looking forward to it. Thankfully the tour was never really in doubt and we were always targeting the Reds game so yeah thankfully it's been pretty smooth sailing.'

BBC Sounds announces Mad for Oasis, new 10-part series exploring the enduring legacy of the band
As Liam and Noel Gallagher get set to return to stage this summer, BBC Sounds explores the lasting impact of one of Britian's most iconic bands in a brand-new ten-part series, Mad For Oasis. Made by BBC Local teams at BBC Radio Manchester, and hosted by Noel's daughter, Anais, Mad For Oasis tells the stories of their music through the eyes of the superfans. We hear from the Oxford-based artist Paul Fellows, who first saw the band more than 20 years ago, and the experience left a lasting impression. His deep love for Oasis inspired him to create artwork dedicated to the band - work that has since helped raise funds for Great Ormond Street Hospital. It's a cause close to his heart, as the hospital once cared for his ill son. Paul said: 'Oasis have had a massive influence on my life. If someone came up to me in the field of Knebworth and said in 25 years' time, you're going to meet him on stage and raise money for a great cause, I would never have believed it!'. Karen from New Ross, in Ireland has been a devoted Oasis fan since day one. Their music has been a constant companion through both her teenage years and adult life. She recalls how one song in particular became the bridge that helped her reconnect with her mother, who had dementia. She said: 'An Oasis song helped me connect with my mother in a way I never thought I'd be able to again. Happy or sad, it will always be a massive part of me'. Host of the series Anais Gallagher said: 'Obviously, Oasis have always been a big part of my life. But to have the opportunity to hear these incredible stories from people about how their music has impacted their lives, has been amazing. I'm thrilled to be a part of it.' The artwork for this series was specially commissioned, it was created by Manchester Artist and Oasis fan Stanley Chow who said: "I'm thrilled to have to been asked to work on the series cover. I had so much fun researching the illustration. It's a lovely thing to be part of!' Chris Burns, Head of Local Audio Commissioning said: "Whether it's your favourite band reuniting, your football team winning, or losing, our BBC teams live and breathe the rollercoaster of local life with our audiences. BBC Radio Manchester really gets to the heart of how this local band made its mark upon ordinary people's lives and is told fantastically through Anais.' Mad For Oasis is a BBC Local production for BBC Sounds and will be available on BBC Sounds on Tuesday 1 July 2025. HM3 Follow for more

Who wears short shorts? Well, me and Paul Mescal, for starters
Having recently come out as a fan of the budgie smuggler, it won't surprise anyone to learn that I'm totally behind the revival of short shorts as well. Leading the charge, his hems creeping ever higher up his impressively muscled thighs, is the Irish actor Paul Mescal. Mescal debuted a skimpy Gucci pair last summer and this weekend he was at it again at Glastonbury. So was Harry Styles. I don't much like Mescal's specific shorts — they look too much like boxers for my taste, as if he's forgotten to put his trousers on — but I'm all for their length. Or lack of. Comfortable, flattering, liberating, sexy: what's not to like? • Hurrah, budgie smugglers are back! I wear mine supertight I grew up on short shorts. Back in the Eighties we had Gary Lineker and John Barnes turning out for England with their meaty hamstrings on full display. Stuart Pearce went even further, pulling his already short shorts so high they were practically a nappy, although I wouldn't say that to Psycho's face. In tennis, Boris Becker's thighs won Wimbledon in 1985. George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley did the video for Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go in tiny two-tone shorts. They both later disavowed the choice and I never understood why: they looked great. I even thought Angus Young's schoolboy shorts in AC/DC were kind of cool. Silly, but cool. Perfect stagewear too, with all those lights. The short shorts leading man of that era, however, has to be Tom Selleck in Magnum, PI. The moustache and Hawaiian shirts got all the press, but for me the star of the show was Selleck's smart high-waisted and absurdly high-cut shorts. I was delighted to discover that as recently as last year Selleck, now aged 79, was pictured still rocking bare legs — and still looking hot! — out in sunny California. He must be delighted that Mescal has picked up his baton. They should get together. Other Eighties favourites I'd like to see revived: cap-sleeved T-shirts, bandanas, sweatbands, legwarmers, billowy silk shirts, bullet belts. Selleck's hemline later, sadly, dropped a few inches from the glory days, but not so far as to constitute the dreaded Bermuda, that tailored, knee-length poor excuse for a pair of shorts. I'll wear any shorts except Bermudas. I'll go cargo, even though they make my legs look about 18 inches long. I'll go scoutmaster baggy, especially in khaki for a bit of Long Range Desert Group retro-hero stolen-valour chic. I'll go bog-standard nylon-with-a-net for the gym. Once, in Munich for Oktoberfest, I went full lederhosen, rather spooking myself by how much I liked them. • Now I know why women fall in love with me But mostly I'm a plain cotton man, as short as possible while still allowing for pockets and not breaking accepted standards of decency. Comfort is a huge factor, now that southern England has imported a Saharan climate. When not in short shorts I spent much of Sunday in a recycling bin full of iced water. Is such thigh-flashing age-appropriate? Don't know, don't care. I refuse to recognise the validity of the question. One of the few bonuses of global warming is that the shorts-wearing season in the UK will soon be extended to LA-level duration. Not so long ago, even a dedicated shortist like me had to accept a cover-up between November and March, inclusive. Now, it's sun's out, quads out, all year round! Except when it's cold, obviously. A pet insurance company says the lifetime (average: 13 years) cost of owning a Romanian Mioritic shepherd dog is a shade over £16,000. That's the purchase price, insurance, grooming and food. This Romanian Mioritic creature is a big old unit, weighing up to 130lb, hairy-looking as well, both factors making it high maintenance and high cost. But even a humble collie comes in at close to £9,000 over its span. With 13 million dogs in the UK, the canine economy starts to look significant. While fond of (some) dogs, I'm more of a cat man. You'd think cats were less expensive than dogs, but having just spent £500 getting two kittens neutered, I'm not in the mood to agree with that argument. We also once spent close on three grand (in tranches, not in one go; I'd have pulled the plug) treating a cat that died anyway. Beloved animals impoverish much of the population, and we wouldn't have it any other way. Historians at the University of St Andrews have been analysing medieval manuscripts to broaden knowledge of what passed for medical care, wellness and grooming in the Middle Ages. It turns out the Europeans of a millennium ago were not nearly as scrofulous, starved and smelly as we, their descendants, had been led to believe. Rather, they were every bit as into exotic herbs — cumin, cinnamon and saffron — as today's foodies. They took baths (except in November, a month in which they were also told to abstain from sex, which was probably for the best) and were fond of such healthy foods as celery, grapes and rhubarb. They also favoured shampoo made from lizards, which is surely due for a comeback among Gen Zers, provided the lizards are organic. Admittedly, the good people of 1,000 years ago also drank wine for breakfast, swore by bloodletting and believed the health of certain organs was governed by different signs of the zodiac. So, those centuries were not called the Dark Ages entirely for nothing.
