Dua Lipa urged British Prime Minister Boris Johnson to give National Health Service staff a pay rise as she landed a double victory at Tuesday s BRIT Awards.
Dua was the big winner at the ceremony, taking home awards for Album of the Year and British Female Solo Artist, and while accepting her first gong, she honoured healthcare workers for their efforts during the Covid-19 pandemic. She also announced she would be sharing her award with nurse Dame Elizabeth Anionwu, the emeritus professor of nursing at the University of West London. She has spent her stellar nursing career fighting racial injustice, Dua said. She has also spent so much time and is a strong, strong advocate for protecting frontline workers.
For the photoshoot, the singer styled her blonde locks into a blow-dried hairdo and added a slick of gorgeous make-up.
Talking about her own fashion inspiration in an accompanying interview, Mabel said that she has always defined her own sexiness by her clothing.
She said: I ve always been slightly tomboy-ish, yet I ve always felt I could define my own sexiness through how I dress.

Dua Lipa dedicated her BRIT Award win for British Female Solo Artist to Dame Elizabeth Anionwu.
The 25-year-old singer took home her second Female Solo Artist gong during Tuesday’s (11.05.21) award ceremony at London’s O2 Arena, which marks her fourth BRIT Award win in total.
This year, all winners are taking home two trophies with the idea being to give one accolade to someone they believe has made a difference during the COVID-19 pandemic, and whilst giving her acceptance speech, Dua revealed she would be giving hers to 74-year-old nurse and healthcare administrator Elizabeth.
Whilst accepting the award, Dua explained: “I think this is such an incredible initiative to give another part of your award to someone, and I’ve chosen that my British Female of the Year is Dame Elizabeth Anionwu. She has spent stellar nursing career fighting racial injustice. She has also spent so much time and is a strong strong advocate for protecting frontline workers
