Radical optimist and singer Dua Lipa is currently visiting South Africa, where she was recently spotted by a fan leaving a popular restaurant in Cape Town.
The fan, Kris (@__krissssssss), shared a video of the encounter on TikTok on January 18, captioning it: “Chilling with the gorgeous Dua 🥰 #capetown #dualipa.”
In the video, Kris stands next to Lipa as the star exits Our Local, a well-known eatery on Kloof Street.
As they prepare to capture the moment, a humorous exchange unfolds between the two.
The filter on Kris's camera makes Lipa appear pale and whitewashed, prompting the singer to comment, “Wow, this filter, bloody hell.”
When Kris asks Lipa if she enjoyed her time at the restaurant, she responds, “I had a great time, thank you so much,” before walking off.
Kris remains behind, thrilled to have had a photo opportunity with her favourite star.
The video quickly went viral, garnering over 800,000 views on TikTok.
Netizens shared their reactions in the comments, with one user, @archersprophecy, questioning, “Why would you even put that filter on THE Dua Lipa? 💔”
Another user, @ave_harrison, remarked, “Lol, she’s so pretty that the filter made her look TOO pretty.”
Other comments included @ofentse.links2 stating, “She hated that filter,” and @m3gan_212 saying, “I’ll forgive you, 2016 is trending again.”
In addition to her Cape Town sighting, Lipa was also seen at La Colombe Restaurant in Constantia.
Last July, the singer took a well-deserved break from her Radical Optimism Tour after a series of exhilarating performances across Europe during the summer.
Snapshots shared online revealed Lipa and her fiancé, Callum Turner, enjoying a picturesque getaway in Italy, where they appeared to find a beautiful balance between work and play.
In a delightful video captured by Backgrid, the couple was spotted lounging on an inflatable float in the crystal-clear waters of the Amalfi Coast, clearly lost in each other’s company.
The affectionate couple shared several moments of public displays of affection, stealing kisses and playfully plunging into the inviting sea, epitomising a romantic summer holiday.
