Dua Lipa doesn't 'prioritise comfort'

Dua Lipa doesn't worry about her outfits being comfortable

Dua Lipa doesn't "prioritise comfort" when choosing her outfits.

The 30-year-old pop star has confessed she always puts fashion first is happy to endure pain and discomfort as long as she "looks good".

Dua told Harper's Bazaar magazine: "I definitely don't prioritise comfort. I think if it looks good, I don't care about comfort. I will literally struggle in anything if it looks good."

The singer recently became the face of Chanel - fronting the brand's new campaign for the Chanel 25 handbag - and Dua admitted it feels like a full circle moment as she first thing she bought after signing her first record deal was a Chanel bag.

She told the publication: "My personal relationship with Chanel started way before working with them. It was the first thing that I ever wanted to spend my money on.

"That's all I wanted, and I got it. I went and got a Boy Bag the second I signed my deal."

It comes after Dua previously revealed she uses strength training to help her walk in heels.

The singer explained that she added reformer pilates to her routine because having a "really strong core" allows her to stay on her feet in fancy shoes for longer periods of time.

She told Vogue: "I love that I see such instant results [from reformer Pilates]. It’s like some of the best forms of strength training for me ...

"I’m in heels all the time, so my core is incredibly important. You’ve got to have a really strong core because if you have a strong core, then you’ve got a strong lower back, and so therefore that really helps when you’re dancing and you’re up on your feet for a very long time."

Dua previously opened up about her sense of style and insisted she never wants to "put myself in a box" when it comes to fashion because she loves trying new things.

She told Refinery 29: "Everyone is allowed to wear whatever the f*** they want, and it’s so important that they do. This is the way we move forward in the world. We have to break the norms.

"If women wearing womenswear is deemed normal, women wearing menswear should be normal, too. But normality is a tricky one. It’s putting things in a box, and it shouldn’t be like that. Because what is normal, anyway?"

She added: "I’ve never really wanted to put myself in a box and say, This is my style and these are my style staples. I love to experiment and play around.

"It’s kind of like music: The sound doesn’t just include the face of the artist. And the artist should wear the clothes, not the other way around. Fashion can’t be forced."
