It can't be stressed hard enough that Dua Lipa is having an utterly sensational summer.

The global pop icon is in the middle of a knockout world tour and has managed to squeeze in several holidays with her fiancé Callum Turner to glorious destinations like Italy, Greece and Ibiza. 

And the Radical Optimism singer has cause to be celebrating, as on August 22 she celebrates her 30th birthday.

Dua was signed to a record label all the way back in 2014 but and it was her smash hit New Rules that properly placed her on the map as pop's most exciting up-and-coming star.

Since then she has bagged many Brit Awards and Grammys, and headlined the Pyramid stage at Glastonbury. She also won a Guinness World Record for the most tickets sold for a live concert Studio 2054 event in 2020. 

So to celebrate the global pop sensation and style icon, let's take a look back at Dua Lipa's 30th best ever looks...
