Paparazzi thought they’d caught Dua Lipa mid-glow-up. Turns out they’d just interrupted her post-massage peace.
On Monday, September 21, while the Levitating hitmaker was in Milan after attending the opening night of La Traviata at Teatro alla Scala over the weekend, photographers snapped her in casual gym-style attire, sunglasses on, climbing into a car.
Within hours the photos were everywhere, and the internet did what the internet does best, jump to conclusions.
Cue the wild speculation. One commented, “She’s leaving an aesthetics clinic!” and “New face alert.”
The classic celebrity rumour mill spun into overdrive, treating a slightly off-duty looking Radical Optimism tour performer like she’d just stepped out of a full surgical suite.
The Training Season chart-topper, clearly unimpressed, wasted little time shutting it down.
Under one of the circulating Instagram posts, she dropped the perfect response from her official account.
“You lot are crazy for this one,” the Grammy winner wrote. “I just went gym then for a massage and i didnt wanna have my picture taken.”
Her message was accompanied with exhausted face emojis.
Dua, who recently got married to the Masters of the Air star Callum Turner, clearly don’t want the paps to capture her as she covered her face with her hand and her bodyguard also tried to block the angles with a black umbrella before she was seated into the black SUV.
