Dua Lipa kicked off her festival, Sunny Hill, in Kosovo with much to celebrate. This week, the pop star was granted Kosovo citizenship. It “feels like my two sides are now one,” she said.
“It completes the duality I have always had within. I love this country and this means so much to me and my family.”
The ceremony, led by President Vjosa Osmani, saw a choir of children sing Lipa’s own song “Levitating.” She wore a chocolate brown, sculptural leather mini dress from Ferragamo, with Paris Texas pumps, and a red shoulder bag.
Then, it was straight into three days of partying at Sunny Hill, where Lipa brought a Glastonbury-coded wardrobe. Photographed speaking to a fan, the Radical Optimism singer wore a white and black graphic Sunny Hill festival t-shirt, with blue Re/Done frayed denim shorts and a Chrome Hearts western black and gold belt, with a favorite pair of Miu Miu black leather buckle boots.

Lipa headlined the Friday night of the fest, with other acts including Shawn Mendes, Fatboy Slim, and Peggy Gou. Her costumes continued the glamorous, glitzy thread of her Radical Optimism tour, where she donned custom Attico mini dresses and Jean Paul Gaultier bustiers, a sheer, sexy bridal Balenciaga gown and a show-stopping Chanel bodysuit that paid homage to archival dress worn by Christy Turlington in the ’90s. For Sunny Hill, she opted for a silver and white Dilara Fındıkoğlu bra and corset with silvery fringes and a glittery burgundy bodysuit with tassels.
After her performance at Sunny Hill in Prishtina on Friday, Lipa wrote on Instagram: “Sharing this night with you all, in the city that shaped me, surrounded by so much energy, joy, and pride…it’s hard to put into words what it means.”
