When she’s not selling out arenas, recording the next big pop hit, or honeymooning all around Italy, Dua Lipa is, most likely, engrossed in a book. The Grammy-winning singer, who founded the Service95 Book Club to encourage people to “read the world differently,” is known for her expert literary recommendations, thoughtful author Q&As, and reviews on new releases. But now, she’s taken her love for reading a step further, acting as the curator for this year’s London Literature Festival. And what a well-dressed host she’s been.
On Saturday, October 24, Lipa joined best-selling author Zadie Smith and Sudanese-Canadian poet, singer-songwriter, and filmmaker Mustafa at the Royal Festival Hall for conversations on their work and the work that has inspired them.
For the first interview, with Smith, the “Training Season” artist (and friend of Chanel) donned a red two-piece set from Matthieu Blazy’s Fall 2026 collection for the French heritage house—composed of a fur-trimmed long-sleeve top and matching midi skirt. She wore the cozy autumnal look with a pair of bold knee-high boots from Le Silla, crafted from black leather with a lace-up design and 12cm stiletto heel.
