Between two official screenings on the Croisette and an appearance for Nespresso, international popstar Dua Lipa treated herself to an enchanted, cultural, and ultra-stylish interlude a few kilometers away from the Cannes hustle and bustle. Let’s take a closer look at the singer’s afternoon in Saint-Paul-de-Vence.
Dua Lipa enjoys the South of France: her escape to a typical village to attend a beautiful exhibition
The Cannes Film Festival is in full swing, bringing with it a true constellation of international stars descending on the French Riviera for our enjoyment. During this period of excitement, the South of France becomes a global epicenter of glamour, elegance, and celebration. It is undoubtedly the ideal time of year for fans of glitter and pop culture to hope to cross paths with their favorite celebrities just around the corner. But don’t be mistaken: to have the chance to catch a glimpse of an influencer or a music or cinema icon, you don’t necessarily have to walk the Croisette endlessly or wait for hours in front of the grand Cannes palaces.
Live your life, wander through the Provençal hinterland, explore the region, and you will see that the cobbled streets of the surrounding villages hold incredible surprises. Global celebrities also love to play tourists for a day, stroll in the shade of olive trees, visit historic monuments, or casually dine on a café terrace like everyone else. This might have been the magical experience that passers-by in Saint-Paul-de-Vence had, where Dua Lipa was also strolling! This weekend, the famous singer left the red carpet flashes for an afternoon, indulging in a break in one of the most charming fortified villages in the region.
An “arty” visit in a Jacquemus dress at the heart of France’s first art foundation
After her highly anticipated appearance at the Nespresso event on the Cannes beach, the performer of essential global hits like “Levitating,” “Don’t Start Now,” and “Houdini” seems to have fully enjoyed this sunny afternoon in this azure green oasis. As proof, Callum Turner’s partner immortalized this suspended moment by posting a superb series of photos on her Instagram account. She looks simply stunning in a black Jacquemus dress, gracefully posing in the middle of a beautiful garden with a resolutely creative spirit, where sculpted works proudly stand amidst the vegetation.
The cultural venue chosen by the star is none other than the prestigious Fondation Maeght, recognized as the very first independent contemporary art foundation in France. Currently, the institution is hosting the exhibition titled “A Tribute to Gasiorowski,” a prominent artistic showcase that the singer clearly enjoyed. Furthermore, she indulged in a quiet, surely private visit, enjoying the place without anyone around to disturb her stroll or her photos. In the comments, Simon Porte Jacquemus couldn’t help but enthuse about seeing his creations in such a beautiful setting. “My star,” he writes. And indeed, what a star! Following this escapade, Dua Lipa extended the pleasure by savoring a delicious meal at a nearby establishment. The definition of the dolce vita, South of France style, suits her perfectly.
Dua Lipa: this restaurant in the 2nd arrondissement of Paris she highly recommends!
Star Academy, Netflix documentaries, Squeezie videos, or US reality shows: I track everything that makes pop culture vibrate. I tirelessly scroll through social media to uncover current trends or better yet: the news of the century (which would, of course, be Rihanna’s return announcement)!
