How Dua Lipa's lookalike sister Rina is desperate to be famous actress & how rivalry with star spurs her on
IT can't be easy growing up in the shadow of one of the hottest and most famous singers in the world. So it's little wonder that there's a touch of sibling rivalry between Dua Lipa and her younger sister, aspiring actress Rina. 13 13 13 A source close to the family says: 'Not many people know what it's like to have a pop superstar as an older sister. 'It has without a doubt got its perks but constantly being in her shadow would take its toll on anyone. But it's made her more determined than ever to be her own person.' Rina was just 16 when her sister hit the big time, and since then Dua has continued her meteoric rise, landing Vogue covers and Grammy awards aplenty, not to mention an equally gorgeous fiance in Brit actor Callum Turner. Behind the scenes though, Rina has been working just as hard - and is determined to make a name for herself, independent of Dua. As well as gracing the pages of Vogue, she's already got her own fan pages, a whopping 1 million Insta followers, and just last week was spotted rubbing shoulders with Sydney Sweeney at Miu Miu's London party. Growing up in London, then their parents' native Kosovo, which they moved to when she was six, Rina has said she "worshipped" Dua. The move meant the sisters and their brother Gjin formed an incredibly tight bond as they navigated life in another country. When Dua was 15, however, she begged her family to let her move back to the UK to embark on a singing career. It wasn't a decision they took lightly and while Dua was chasing her dreams, Rina's formative teenage years were spent mostly without her big sister around. 'She was young, but she was mature, she was ready. My parents didn't let her go easily — it was all done in a very controlled way," Rina has said of that time. 'She had to get back at certain times and she lived with a family friend. But it was hard. I missed her. She worked very, very hard. I really looked up to her for that and I do to this day.' Inside glam life of Dua Lipa's sister Rina as 'Gen Z It Girl' models with Game of Thrones star and parties with Hadids By the time the family had reunited in the UK, Dua was well on her way to fame - and Rina had her own plan. With jet black hair, an enviable figure, and distinctive, different-coloured eyes (one brown, and one blue), she signed a modelling contract while still in school and, like many Gen Zs, fell into influencing. 13 13 An insider said: 'Rina has of course always really admired her sister but has had times felt that pressure of having such a successful sibling. 'She has also made it clear she wants to do things off her own back - she is grateful for the opportunities that have come her way because of Dua but she believes she would have made it on her own.' Now, Rina - who attended the prestigious Sylvia Young Theatre School, which has made the likes of Billie Piper and Nicholas Hoult, on Saturdays - has her heart set on becoming a successful actress. When she was 18, she vowed: 'I think Rina will be everywhere. My plan is to go forward with my acting and do that and really focus on that. 'I feel like a big budget film is the dream and going to your premiere in Leicester Square, but also I think a series would be really fun.' 13 13 Fast forward to this year, and Rina has appeared in short films The End of Love and Midpoint, and is set to make her feature film debut in Expectations - a contemporary adaptation of Charles Dickens' Great Expectations. 'Performing, being on stage, being in front of the camera — I knew that was what I wanted to do. I like to talk a lot," she has said. It's yet to be the glitzy career she had hoped for onscreen, but her popularity online is ever growing, though still falls well short of Dua's 87 million followers. Aspiring to the dizzy heights of fame enjoyed by Dua, Rina gushed: 'Dua's my biggest teacher and I'm so in awe of her work ethic.' Whether she manages to reach similar heights, though, is yet to be seen. 13

Dua Lipa's Engagement Ring Has the Most Romantic Backstory—and a Valuation to Match
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. After months of wondering, "Is she, isn't she?," Dua Lipa has finally confirmed she's engaged. That's right, the diamond band she's teased on Instagram since December is, in fact, an engagement ring from her fiancé, Callum Turner. 'Yeah, we're engaged,' she told British Vogue in her cover interview, which dropped on June 12. "It's very exciting. This decision to grow old together, to see a life and just, I don't know, be best friends forever—it's a really special feeling." According to Lipa, Turner custom-made the diamond ring for her, with guidance from her close friends and sister, Rina. "It's so me. It's nice to know the person that you're going to spend the rest of your life with knows you very well," the newly-engaged star shared. She's a longtime brand ambassador for Tiffany & Co., but at press time, it's unclear which designer Turner worked with. There's also debate over its exact weight and size. Laura Suttie, Senior Gemologist and Ring Expert at Queensmith identifies the ring as a "2-carat round diamond paired with an approximately 5mm 18k yellow gold band." Meanwhile, Laura Taylor, engagement ring specialist at Lorel Diamonds, appraised it at somewhere between 3- and 4-carats. Regardless of the exact stats, the unconventional style felt so on-brand for her. If you keep tabs on Lipa's various IG dumps, you know her (no-longer-rumored) engagement ring perfectly aligns with the rest of her jewelry. She's a devoted gold girl, after all. Whether she's on-stage or on vacation, Lipa hardly goes anywhere without oversized bracelets, a signature necklace stack, and mismatched rings, usually from Tiffany & Co. With that said, Suttie believes her newest addition could inspire a wave of chunky engagement rings. "Thicker bands are a bit of a flex—they're often chosen to support larger diamonds or gemstones while maintaining the ring's structural integrity," Suttie said in a statement. "If lab-grown, it could be valued at approximately $6,000, while a natural diamond would bring the value closer to $47,000." Lipa's verification via Vogue comes seven months after she first sported the rock on that finger. In true Lipa form, the custom design made its IG debut in a Christmas Eve photo dump. Alongside Moon Boots, a leather bomber jacket, and reindeer antlers, eagle-eye fans spotted the bold band. To be fair, at 2-carats, it would be harder not to pinpoint it. Since then, the ring has been her most consistent co-star on IG. On May 5, it also joined her at the 2025 Met Gala. The bride-to-be went full gothic glam in a custom black Chanel gown. As she ascended the iconic staircase, all eyes went to her engagement ring, which she layered overtop bedazzled mesh opera gloves. Then, on May 27, she went full bridal mode in a white wedding-ready dress from Jacquemus, with her ring front-and-center. All this to say? She's embracing this new era to the fullest. As for the actual nuptials, it seems Lipa and Turner have taken a page out of Zendaya and Tom Holland's book of pre-wedding press. "I want to finish my tour, Callum's shooting, so we're just enjoying this period,' she told British Vogue. 'I've never been someone who's really thought about a wedding, or dreamt about what kind of bride I would be. All of a sudden I'm like: 'Oh, what would I wear?'' Now that her secret's out, it's only a matter of time before she wears white again. Who knows? Maybe she'll team up with Chanel for her wedding wardrobe à la Sofia Richie Grainge. It wouldn't be out of the question for the brand ambassador.
