Dua Lipa has been named an Honorary Ambassador of Kosovo

still standing after years of struggles — on “Hold Me Closer,” her first newly recorded single since 2016.The cross-generational collaboration between 40-year-old Spears and the 75-year-old Rocket Man — which dropped from the dream-duet heavens on Friday morning — is a radical reworking of John’s 1971 classic “Tiny Dancer.” Indeed, it’s such an extreme makeover that they gave the song it’s own new name taken from the original’s chorus. All together now, “Hold me closer, tiny dancer!”While “Tiny Dancer” was an epic ballad that took your inner ballerina pirouetting across the keys in a fanciful flight, “Hold Me Closer” goes twirling directly under the disco ball with some thumping beats but also a light airiness that captures some of the graceful beauty of the original. Like John’s recent hit with Dua Lipa — “Cold Heart (Pnau remix),” which mashed up “Rocket Man” with a few of his other songs — “Hold Me Closer,” produced by Andrew Watt and Cirkut, also features elements of Elton’s “The One” and “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart.”And while their digitally altered voices sometimes blend into one another where you can hardly tell the difference, it’s great to hear the moments when Spears’ distinctive, much-missed chirp stands out.And after the its initial futuristic electro-whirl, “Hold Me Closer” brings you back down to earth with John’s piano work at the end.The beginnings of this collaboration go all the way back to 2015, when Spears professed her love for “Tiny Dancer” in a tweet.

in April, when she stepped onto the red carpet in a bondage-inspired look from Versace’s autumn/winter 1992 collection, first worn on the runway by Christy Turlington. Indeed, the head-turning number kicked off something of a vintage Versace revival on the red carpet, with Bella Hadid wearing not one but two dresses from the Italian fashion house’s archive at Cannes the following month.“The girls that want and wear vintage Versace now are looking for the same stand-out dresses that the original girls who wore [them] wanted when they were first introduced,” Shrimpton Couture’s Cherie Balch told Vogue of the surge in interest.Dua treated us to another series of stand-out vintage looks in her music video for “Potion,” opting for several brands that have enjoyed a huge resurgence in the pre-loved market in recent years.

She had a massive hit with the song New Rules and singer Dua Lipa set the bar high when she paraded a breath-taking array of outfits for her 'birthday week.'

may not be especially political, but there is one stance that she refuses to stop speaking out about—no matter how many brand sponsorships or friends she loses, or how many full-page New York Times ads she’s targeted by. And that’s her support for Palestine, where her father was born. In an interview podcast, Hadid said her has cost her career opportunities and even relationships.

It feels like a lifetime ago when Lady Gaga, in the darkest days of the pandemic, released “Chromatica” in May 2020.It was essentially, a way to free yourself from the lockdown of the walls you were climbing and escape to another planet where the clubs were still pumping out beats—instead of hand sanitizer—in a world where masking up and social distancing never existed.But perhaps Chromatica was a victim of timing: There was only so much an album designed to just dance could do when there was no place to dance.And as if “Chromatica” never happened—aside from the futuristic getup that, for Gaga, almost looked like grocery-shopping sweats at this point—she came out strong at the Chromatica Ball at MetLife Stadium on Thursday night with three of her biggest pre-Covid hits: “Bad Romance,” “Just Dance” and “Pokerface.”Bam. Bam.
