Dua Lipa hosts literary conversations in London while wearing lace-up boots
Singer Dua Lipa hosted conversations with authors at the Southbank Centre's London Literature Festival on Saturday, October 24.
Event details and guest speakers
Lipa held talks with novelist Zadie Smith and poet-musician Mustafa at the venue. The singer discussed Smith's debut novel White Teeth during her appearance. She also spoke about growing inequality and the decline of public services.
Fashion choices for the occasion
The performer wore a bright red knit Chanel dress from the fall 2026 collection. Her outfit included sculptural red earrings and bold lace-up knee-high boots. These shoes served as a key part of her designer look.
Personal connections to literature
Lipa founded Service95, a cultural platform that includes a book club and author conversations. She and her husband Callum Turner bonded over reading the same novel Hernán Díaz's Trust. The actor is reportedly among finalists screen-testing for the next James Bond.
