A few years later, Dua moved back to London alone to become a singer and model. She's currently signed with the UK subsidiary of Warner (Bros.) Records. Her first single "New Love" was released in August 2015.Her self-titled debut album was released in June 2017, featuring the hit single "New Rules", which became her second #1 song in the United Kingdom (after being part of a charity cover of Simon & Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water" for victims of the Grenfell Tower fire), as well as her first top ten single in the United States. The album itself was placed in the top 20 of three websites' "Best Albums of 2017" list, even being named the 9th best of the year by Rolling Stone. Her sophomore album, Future Nostalgia was released in March 2020 to much critical acclaim. She's also had some acting roles such as in 2023's Barbie and Argylle.

And Then John Was a Zombie
 Dua Lipa (Music) / int_115d318
comment
And Then John Was a Zombie: A good version of this trope. The "New Rules" video features a group of girls that follow Dua around and stop her from having any contact with her ex-boyfriend. Halfway through, she's shown to have listened to them, and at the end, she joins the group and helps them do the same to another girl.

Pastiche
 Dua Lipa (Music) / int_242f638e
comment
"Levitating" is a Pastiche of 1970s footage, with period-appropriate fonts, although it's 1980s in sound, so it's a sort of composite of both eras! It includes dancers Alexandra "Alex" Clark and Aud Wiley as bellhops in the video. Bordering on Stylistic Suck to accurately represent the era portrayed.

Stylistic Suck: Downplayed. The video for "Levitating" (the version featuring DaBaby) is intentionally done to look like 1980s-style special effects, and the outfits are as Period Piece as you can get although it's a Satire/Parody/Pastiche.

Stock Footage: Enforced due to Real Life Writes the Plot; the COVID-19 Pandemic; her video for "If It Ain't Me" was new footage spliced in with older singles' music videos, as it was recorded during the pandemic and social distancing and three lockdowns meant making new videos wasn't possible.

Sampling

comment
Sampling: "Physical" interpolates the line "Let's get physical" from the Olivia Newton-John song of the same name. "Love Again" prominently samples a horn sample from "My Woman" by Al Bowlly, one made popular (and frequently misidentified as coming from) White Town's "Your Woman". "Break My Heart" samples the bass line and some guitar work from "Need You Tonight" by INXS.

Embarrassing First Name: While the meaning is beautiful, she had admitted that she did not like her first name when she grew up since it is an obviously ethnic name in Britain. However, her opinion changed after her rise to stardom, as its uniqueness meant that she did not have to adopt a Stage Name.

It includes dancers Alexandra "Alex" Clark and Aud Wiley as bellhops in the video. Bordering on Stylistic Suck to accurately represent the era portrayed. This is much more blatant in the Animated Music Video for "Levitating" which was done by a Japanese studio in the style of eighties and nineties Shōjo Demographic anime, especially the Magical Girl and Idol Singer genres IN SPACE!. The animation being modeled after older anime mixed with science fiction therefore acts as "Future Nostalgia" on the accordingly titled album, and also pays homage to the song itself being inspired by eighties and nineties pop music.
