Girl Power!

Brit-born beauties Adele and Dua Lipa have had their respective fan bases levitating after the recent pleasantries they shared in the press.

First, Addy – who made headlines this week for being honored with the Sherry Lansing Leadership Award at ‘The Hollywood Reporter’s annual ‘Women in Entertainment’ event on December 7 – also acts as the mag’s most recent cover girl.

In its pages, she not only talked about her next album (the follow-up to 2021’s ‘30‘) but also praised the likes of SZA, Beyonce, and Victoria Monet.  Most notably, she gave a huge shout out to Dua.

“I’m also very excited that Dua is back. When I first ever heard ‘New Rules,’ I remember saying to my manager, ‘Whoa,'” the ‘Rolling in the Deep’ diva shared revealed to ‘THR.’ “I was like, ‘She should be the next big pop girl.’ And she is.”

See how the ‘Houdini’ hitmaker responded to the massive compliment inside.



One of many big names who took to THR’s ‘Women,’ Lipa – like Camila Cabello, Lily Gladstone, and others – was on hand to present $1 million in college scholarships to high school students from underserved communities across Los Angeles.

Ahead of the event kickoff, Dua hit the red carpet to talk about her new album and more. When quizzed about her thoughts on Adele, the 28-year-old lit up.

“First of all, she’s our ‘British Queen,'” Dua said. “I just love her and I’m such a fan of her music. She’s got the most unbelievable voice and her lyrics have always been very touching to me and she’s somebody I’ve always looked up to.”

That’s not the only heartwarming thing she said about Addy. Press PLAY on the clip above to watch the entire interview.
