Dua Lipa before and after: this is how the singer has transformed over the years

Dua Lipa has become one of the most influential artists in today’s music industry, making a steady yet remarkable leap from performing in small venues to headlining stadiums on her current Radical Optimism Tour, where she showcases the latest additions to her discography.

With an estimated fortune of around $156 million, according to The Sunday Times annual list, she has secured her place as the youngest artist with such a high net worth. But this success hasn’t come out of nowhere—it’s the result of a long journey of gradual growth and evolution.

Her career took off in 2017 with the release of her self-titled debut album, featuring hits like IDGAF and New Rules, which still rank among her top 10 most-streamed tracks on Spotify.

Three years later, in 2020, she released Future Nostalgia, the album that catapulted her to global stardom. It cemented her reputation with career-defining songs such as Don’t Start Now, Levitating, and Physical—tracks that remain staples in her live performances.
