Dua Lipa flaunts her incredible figure in a black halterneck mini dress on The Late Show – Daily Mail

She’s about to kick off her much-delayed tour to promote her album Future Nostalgia.

And Dua Lipa continued her gruelling work on the promotional circuit as she stepped out in New York after her appearance on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert on Thursday.

The hitmaker, 26, showcased her incredible figure in a black halterneck minidress and knee-high PVC boots as she headed into the city.

Never one to shy away from flaunting her figure, Dua slipped into the eye-catching black dress with a dramatic frilled front, embellished with a large rose.

The singer teamed the dress with heeled PVC boots, with a member of her team holding an umbrella to ensure she was kept dry during the wet weather.

Dua had made a guest appearance on The Late Show ahead of her upcoming tour, revealing that she received a phone call from Elton John asking whether she’d like to collaborate, while she was relaxing by the pool.

She said she immediately wanted to say yes to them but they instead listened first to the song Cold Heart before she committed. Dua said after she realized the song had elements from Rocket Man that she felt like she manifested the collaboration.

‘Rocket Man is my driving song’ she said. ‘It’s my shower song. It’s my song that I sing along to myself.’

‘Elton, I’m available too. I also know the lyrics to Rocket Man,’ Stephen quipped.

Stephen then asked her what it was like to have her explosive success with her album Future Nostalgia during the pandemic and not being able to go out and engage with her fans.

‘I worked on this album for so long,’ she said. ‘I was very passionate about it. I was very proud about it as well. It was a body of work where I finally felt like I’d found my confidence and who I was really as an artist and a songwriter.’

She said when everything shut down that she didn’t want to believe it and thought with so much uncertainty that maybe now it was the time to release the album. 

Dua said she has this philosophy that up until the music is released that it belongs to her and once it is out that it no longer does. She said she felt it was the perfect time to release it in the hopes that the songs find homes with other people.

She said people’s reaction was ‘mind-blowing’ and was beyond anything that she could have ever hoped for.

Stephen said her song Levitating was an extraordinary success and asked her if she knew when she wrote it that the song would be the breakout hit.

‘Definitely not,’ Dua said. ‘I can never preempt what song people are going to react to the best but Levitating was the first song that helped dictate the rest of the album.

She said she had a powerful feeling after being in the studio writing the song with Sarah Hudson and [Clarence] Coffee that they all felt so energized and excited after.

‘It was very special,’ she said.

Stephen asked her when she had originally planned on going on her world tour and she said April 2020. 

Almost two years later, Dua revealed that she was just about to go out on that tour but that it was going to be ‘massively different’ than what they originally planned and predominantly the Future Nostalgia tour.
