She was granted Albanian citizenship on Sunday.
And on Monday night, Dua Lipa, 26, looked fierce in a sparkling red and silver bodysuit as she performed in Albania for the final show of her Future Nostalgia tour.
The pop star enthralled fans gathered in Tirana’s Skanderbeg Square, with her vocal skills and energetic dance moves as she belted out her hits on Albania’s 110th Anniversary of Independence.
Dua showed off her athletic physique in the shimmering illusion cut-out garment while entertaining the crowd.
The superstar singer’s all-in-one boasted a corset style top and she wore a coordinating pair of opera gloves.
Dua boosted her height with red suede heeled boots which matched perfectly with her bodysuit.
She styled her raven tresses into Sєxy, tumbling curls and opted for bold red eyeshadow to complete her look.
Her final Future Nostalgia tour performance came after Dua was granted Albanian citizenship for her role in spreading Albanians’ fame internationally through her music.
She took to her Instagram to mark the achievement, writing: ‘Thank you President Bajram Begaj and Mayor @erionveliaj for this honour ~ got my Albanian citizenship!!’
Dua was born in London in 1995 to Kosovar-Albanian parents who fled conflict and political instability in the Balkans.
She attended a small state primary school and had her first taste of performing while taking Saturday classes at the world-renowned Sylvia Young Theatre School.
After spending a few years in Pristina after her father’s job as a marketing manager took them back to his native Kosovo, Dua bravely decided to return to the UK alone at the age of 14 in pursuit of her dreams of pop stardom.
In 2014, after achieving 4 A-Levels at a Camden all-girls sixth form college, the talented teenager had signed with Warner Bros. Records.
Now, just eight years later, she has toured the world with a No.1 album, picked up three Grammy awards, and six Brit awards.
Dua, who says she feels both Kosovan and British, co-founded the Sunny Hill Foundation with her father Dukagjin Lipa, who now heads up Republika Communications Agency, based in Bucharest.
The Foundation has given away 100,000 euros to charities and cultural events in Kosovo, which declared independence from Serbia in 2008, and runs the Sunny Hill Festival, which was headlined by Dua Lipa in 2018.
In August 2022, Dua was made an Honorary Ambᴀssador of Kosovo in a ceremony at the Office of the President in Pristina.
Sharing images from the event to her Instagram at the time, the pop star wrote: ‘Yesterday afternoon I was awarded the тιтle of Honorary Ambᴀssador of Kosovo by our Madame President.
‘It’s an honour and a privilege to be able to represent my country all over the world and to continue my work and efforts globally to see that we leave our mark and make a difference.
‘The youth of Kosovo deserves the right to visa liberalisation, freedom to travel and to dream big. Thank you.’
