Dua Lipa looked glamorous in a figure-hugging dress as she made her way to the inaugural Albie Awards from George Clooney’s Foundation for Justice on Thursday.
The 27-year-old pop star’s outing comes after she was pictured in exclusive photos obtained by DailyMail.com showing her on a romantic date night with The Daily Show host Trevor Noah, 38, on Wednesday night.
The Levitating singer was spotted making a grand entrance in the all-black ensemble as she left The Greenwich Hotel in Manhattan while heading to a waiting SUV.
Back to business: Dua Lipa, 27, was seen leaving NYC’s Greenwhich Hotel on her way to a George Clooney Foundation for Justice gala on Thursday, a day after her date night with Trevor Noah, 38
Dua highlighted her svelte frame and hourglass figure in her dress, which exposed her toned arms and featured thick straps joined in a ‘Y’ shape over her back.
Aside from the single strap running down the center, the outfit exposed the top half of her back. It reached nearly down to the ground, just barely revealing her pointy-toed black heels, which elevated her 5ft8in stature.
The London-born songstress wore her dark hair in a high bun, with her bangs swept dramatically to the side.
Dua’s sleek black dress and her muted hairstyle appeared to channel that classic elegance of Audrey Hepburn’s iconic black dress from her 1961 classic Breakfast at Tiffany’s.
She added some jewelry of her own with a thick gold bracelet and paper clip–shaped silver earrings, which were similar to the earrings she wore the night before on her date with Trevor Noah.
She and the Daily Show were seen enjoying an intimate yet low-key dinner together at Miss Lily’s, a Jamaican restaurant in the East Village.
An onlooker told DailyMail.com: ‘They were quietly sat away from everyone else at restaurant. It was clear they were into each other and sat close together throughout the meal. They left together and walked, stopping for long embraces and on the second kiss with hugs.’
Her casual chic look was a far cry from her classic glamour ahead of Thursday’s gala. The English singer–songwriter was decked out in a cool black leather blazer with short lapels, which she wore over a plunging black top and baggy jeans.
She opted for comfort with a set of ultra baggy jeans that swallowed up her fit figure, though she contrasted the pants with delicate leopard-print kitten heels
The date night appeared to end with the two stepping into the street on their way home as bystanders caught of glimpse of the stars.
After walking side-by-side for a while, Dua and Trevor turned to each other in an embrace. Trevor placed his arm delicately on the hitmaker’s back, while she stood on her toes and wrapped her arms around his shoulders as they kissed.
They clearly felt plenty of affection, and the stand-up star followed up the kiss by resting his head sweetly on Dua’s shoulders while they hugged.
Dua and Trevor don’t appear to have given any previous hints at a potential romance. Their date night comes after both split from partners they had been dating for around two years.
Dua’s most recent long-term boyfriend was the model Anwar Hadid, 23, the younger brother of Gigi and Bella Hadid.The two reportedly began dating in June of 2019, shortly after she split from her previous boyfriend. At the time, TMZ reported that the two developed a connection after Anwar played her some of the music he had been working on.
‘I’m very comfortable in the relationship, more so than any others,’ she told Rolling Stone in her cover story for the February 2021 issue. ‘[We] wake up around 9:00, 9:30, shower, get dressed, have a bit of breakfast, take the dog out on a really nice long walk, maybe do some yoga, make some lunch, hang out, watch a movie, play with the animals.’
But the two reportedly would break up and then get back together on and off throughout the relationship, and they were on the rocks by late 2021 due to increased travel keeping them apart.
They were said to have called it quits — seemingly for good — in December of last year.
Trevor’s most recent serious relationship was with the actress Minka Kelly. In September 2020, it was reported that they had been dating for some time, even quarantining together early in the pandemic.
They paused the tumultuous relationship in May 2021, only to be seen together again later that month.
The comedian and the TV star were more open about the relationship as the year progressed, but it fizzled out by May of this year.
