Dua Lipa stuns in sparkling two-piece on sun-soaked girls' trip to Majorca

Daily Mail​a day ago
Dua Lipa wore a sparkly bikini as she soaked up the sun with her friends and sister in Majorca, on Friday.
The singer, 29, hit the beach, less than a week after her romantic Italian getaway with fiance Callum Turner, 35.
Dua captioned the post: 'Deia con mis hermanaaaas' which translates to 'Deia my sisters'.
Recently Dua and her fiance Callum Turner headed to Italy, where they were spotted soaking up the sun on a stunning beach in a series of social media posts.
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 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.
Looking great: Dua topped up her tan while enjoying her vacation
'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.
The singer was recently spotted with her actor fiance Callum, as they soaked up the sun on the beaches of the Amalfi Coast.

Stevie Wonder review – a riotously joyful celebration

The concert is just minutes old when the crowd recognise the tell-tale first four notes of Stevie Wonder's 1980 Bob Marley eulogy Master Blaster (Jammin'), and instantaneously rise to their feet in unison and pure joy. For almost two and a half hours, the soul-funk-pop legend rifles through his back catalogue with the glee of a small child deciding which toy to play with next. At various turns he's peacemaker – encouraging world leaders to 'lead us to a better place' – then 1960s soul man, balladeer, funkmeister and synthesiser soul explorer. Such are Wonder's musical treasures that the 26-song setlist can pile through Higher Ground's glorious elasticated groove in the first four numbers and omit Uptight, Happy Birthday, He's Misstra Know It All and many other classics altogether. The Guardian's journalism is independent. We will earn a commission if you buy something through an affiliate link. Learn more. This rare UK visit finds the 75-year-old legend in ageless voice and playful mood. Blind since shortly after birth, he swaps sunglasses and jokes 'I can't see without my glasses', then leads the crowd into an impromptu burst of You Are My Sunshine by way of intro to You Are the Sunshine of My Life. Given his age and the length of the show, it's understandable that he takes a break. There is a slight lull as backing vocalists take the spotlight, and later his son Mandla Morris sings I Can Only Be Me. However, in the second half Wonder turns full-on human jukebox, delivering Golden Lady, Living for the City, Sir Duke, Isn't She Lovely, a riotously joyful I Wish and many more with barely a pause between them. He perhaps mercifully shortens I Just Called to Say I Love You, which signalled his later career excursions into schmaltz. Still, Lately, his 1980 dissection of the pain of a lover's infidelity, is simply stunning in both rawness and vocal range. With the curfew beckoning, he finally ends with a blistering 10-minute Superstition, yelling 'I love you' at the crowd and then as if by magic turning the phrase into a new hook. This show is very much a celebration of roads travelled, but offers a timely reminder of the brilliance, endurance and uniqueness of one of pop's true greats. At Utilita Arena, Birmingham, 7 July.

What Tchaikovsky's darkest opera could teach Putin's Russia

It suited his political ideals, and allowed him to escape what he considered the frivolities and trivialities of most of the operas of Mozart and his contemporaries. The idea of justice was vital to Beethoven, and by telling this story so simply he never obscures the message. The Garsington cast is so uniformly excellent that it seems invidious to single individual members out for praise: but Sally Matthews is an entirely convincing Fidelio and Robert Murray was no less outstanding as Florestan. The production runs throughout July, and if you can find tickets you will not be disappointed. Sadly, Jack Furness's production at Garsington of The Queen of Spades has just ended, but was so impressive that the company would be mad to leave it for too long before reviving it. The 10th of Tchaikovsky's 11 operas, it is, along with Eugene Onegin, the only one frequently performed today. Like Onegin, it is based on a story by Pushkin that deals with the dire consequences of obsessive love – and neither opera ends well. Furness's direction contrasts the almost mindless and idle behaviour of the Russian upper classes of the 1770s with the desperately earnest obsession of the less-privileged Herman, the anti-hero and an outsider, for Lisa, the niece of a countess, who is engaged to be married to a prince. Herman dreams of having enough money to marry Lisa himself, and when he hears that the countess knows the three-card secret of how to win at the gaming table, he determines to get the secret out of her: but she drops dead as he is pestering her to tell him. However, she appears before him as an apparition – or at least he thinks she does, given by this stage we have come to realise he is clearly mad and he has earlier hallucinated about shooting Catherine the Great – and tells him the secret of the cards. He goes to the gaming table and on the first two cards, played as the ghost has told him, he wins a small fortune, which he then stakes on the third card, which he believes is the Ace of Spades: in fact it is the Queen, and he loses to his love rival the Prince, who thus exacts revenge. Herman shoots himself, though does so clumsily and dies slowly. Tchaikovsky would die within three years, apparently by suicide. The darkness in the opera is not unrelenting, but it is overbearing. Lisa, ironically, wanted Herman for himself, not for any money he might have, so misery is compounded by irony. And moments after Herman's death the gamblers are playing cards again, as if he had never existed. There is a metaphor there for Russia today, and the opera represented a time of cultural magnificence that, in that benighted country, now seems lost forever.

Transfer news has lost its sense of wonder and surprise in era of ‘my sources tell me …'

Which transfer fee blew your mind? It was probably Spurs signing Gazza for £2m in the summer of 1988. TWO MILLION. No one is worth that kind of money. The following year, I distinctly remember running into the living room – Spurs had just signed Gary Lineker. I was preparing for the season ahead, invisible football at my feet, commentating to myself: 'Gascoigne, to Waddle, in for LINEKERRRR.' The next moment I switched on the TV and someone (let's say Ray Stubbs) was telling me that Spurs had sold Waddle to Marseille. I was bereft. There was no warning. For me, or for Lineker it turns out. I heard the striker talking about the transfer recently on the excellent What Did You Do Yesterday? podcast hosted by David O'Doherty and generic broadcaster Max Rushden (perhaps the second-best podcast he hosts). I asked Lineker whether he was as sad as I was when Waddle left. 'I imagine I was considerably sadder. I signed for Spurs and then I went on holiday and I got the news; my agent called me and said: 'They've sold Chris Waddle to Marseille.' Honestly it was like someone stealing 15 goals from my back pocket. He was so good, so good …' This may be the most self-indulgent way to illustrate the blind beauty of transfers back then – for fans and teammates. They just appeared out of nowhere like the Dungeon Master (press the red button for other more youth-friendly references). Patrick Bernal, Hugo Lambert and I playing Championship Manager 93 on the Amiga, flicking on the radio to hear Tottenham had signed Jürgen Klinsmann. No warning. No rumours. Just bang. Klinsmann. For Cambridge United signings you had to wait for the Cambridge Evening News to see Steve Claridge's beaming face holding a scarf aloft. I was not allowed, and too square, to ring ClubCall, an 0898 number, 90p a minute, to find out whether we were selling Alan Kimble to Wimbledon. That guy recording messages from a shed on an answerphone must be sitting somewhere now thinking if only he'd been born 30 years later, he'd be earning a fortune writing 'Here We Go' on X to announce Everton's purchase of Thierno Barry. At the lower reaches of the EFL, transfers do still pop up nostalgically from nowhere. A picture of a man's face, straight to Wikipedia to find out who Ben Purrington is, and then finding a mate who supports Charlton to ask whether he's any good. Elis James still hasn't got back to me about whether the former Swansea under-21 keeper Ben Hughes can do a job between the sticks in the Vertu Trophy. At the top of the Premier League, though, with TV and radio shows hosted by professional transfer influencers, and with flight tracking of private jets, almost nothing is unknown. Either that or you just keep linking a player with every possible destination so that eventually you say the right thing. 'My understanding is …' 'I've just exchanged a message from someone close to the club.' 'All my sources tell me the player is determined to push this through.' Maybe some people with more self-control manage to ignore this stuff and watch Chris Woakes moving it perfectly off a length for hours at Edgbaston without reaching for the second screen and typing 'Eze Spurs'. New transfers are fun and exciting. But the hype machine ignores a few basic realities. There is no guarantee of it working out, even if you spend more than anyone's spent before. In fact, a cursory look at the most expensive transfers of all time suggests they are more likely to fail. Sign up to Football Daily Kick off your evenings with the Guardian's take on the world of football after newsletter promotion In purely football terms – I'm not checking the shirt sales numbers – Neymar to Paris Saint-Germain for just under £200m (that's a hundred 1988 Gazzas!) didn't deliver the Champions League. Ditto Kylian Mbappé (for about £160m). The rest of the top 10: João Félix to Atleti, Enzo Fernández to Chelsea, Philippe Coutinho to Barça, Antoine Griezmann to Barça, Florian Wirtz to Liverpool, Moisés Caicedo to Chelsea, Declan Rice to Arsenal, Jack Grealish to Manchester City. Perhaps it's a little early to judge Wirtz. But with all the caveats of how you define success, how many of them have been worth the money? Or even taking the money out of it, how many have delivered consistently on the pitch? Maybe Rice is the only one? OK, Mbappé's 256 goals in 308 games seems pretty good, but … look at PSG now, look at Real Madrid now. Taking inflation into account, of course money is sometimes well spent: £80m for Ronaldo in 2009 feels like good business for Real Madrid – a few million less than United spent on Antony 13 years later . Poor Antony, always getting mentioned in these articles; he's taken a lot of the heat off Nicolas Pépé. Is it just the pressure of such a high fee? Or the fact we judge someone who cost a hundred million in a different way to someone who commands half that? Fifty million pounds still seems quite a lot for, say, Richarlison. Out of the most expensive 100 transfers of all time, if generous you could make a case that about 40 have worked out. What a terrible hit rate. Why are so many of us blind to the possibility that a new face won't work out? You've seen a seven-minute heavily edited YouTube video to early 2000s Europop. There's no way they've made Ricky van Wolfswinkel look like Kaká. He simply is just that good. There is actually a chance that someone already at your club will get better at football. Most of them train every day. It remains baffling how often a manager is praised for being able to improve players. Feels like a prerequisite. Of course relentless 24-hour coverage of existing squad players would be even less interesting than the rumour mill. 'My understanding is that Joelinton was good last year and might be good again this year.' Official club accounts making big reveal videos for a centre mid you signed three years ago may not get the numbers. But there's every chance they'll be more important this season than the guy you just signed for £30m from Strasbourg. Nevertheless, in a month or so someone will have won the transfer window. It would be great to have a life option to switch off rumour notifications, reject those cookies and select the 1988 discovery option.
