Inside a day in the life of Dua Lipa
Key takeaways

- She sticks to the same skincare routine every day, no matter how late she finishes up.
Mornings
In an interview with Refinery29, Dua Lipa spoke about how she starts her day at 7:30 a.m. with a walk around the neighborhood with her dog, Dexter. She says, “Our walks are the perfect way to get my mind right for the day ahead. I usually grab a bottle of Evian — gotta stay hydrated — and his leash, and we head out for a stroll around the neighborhood.”
While getting some fresh air and bonding time with her furry friend makes a mental list of her intentions for the day.
At 8:30 a.m., it’s time for a workout. Her friend Ella leads a “kickass” workout class called “Sculpt with Ella.” Lipa enjoys a varied training routine, including yoga, Pilates, and strength training, and uses dancing as her cardio.
At 10 a.m., after a shower, a cup of tea, and some vocal limbering up, she heads off to rehearsals for the current show she is performing in. She says, “Rehearsal starts with a quick warm-up with my vocal coach. Vocal health is so important to me and is critical on a day packed with rehearsing. I try to incorporate some little vocal health activities every day.”
Afternoons
After intense rehearsing, the vocal diva heads home at 4:30 p.m. She says, “I take this time to FaceTime my family and friends to see what everyone’s doing and ask whether someone would like to have an early-ish dinner with me when I get home.” She puts a lot of emphasis on spending time with the people she loves.
Evenings
At 6:30 p.m., the talented vocalist cooks dinner for her friends or orders out from restaurants. Once everyone leaves at around 9 p.m., she says, “It’s time for a little self-care. I am religious about washing my face and doing my nighttime skincare routine every evening.”
She uses this time to check in with herself and practice gratitude. Soon it’s time for bed to get some rest for another full day of rehearsals. Dua Lipa likes to wind down with a good book and 30 minutes of meditation before falling asleep at 10 p.m.
