Dua Lipa Shares Unique Views On Family And Feminism In Vogue Interview
In a world of pop stars and glamor, Dua Lipa stands out not just for her chart-topping hits, but for her candid and unique views on life, family, and society. In a recent Vogue France cover story, the 28-year-old pop sensation shared her thoughts on motherhood, personal priorities, and the values she holds dear.
Dua, known for hits like Levitating and New Rules, comes from a close-knit family. She emphasized the importance of family bonds, stating, “Family is so precious.” However, when probed about her own plans for motherhood, Lipa responds with a candid, “Hmm, maybe. But nothing’s planned!”
While her peers might be focused on family planning, Lipa humorously revealed, “The only baby I’m thinking about is my new album.”
Dua’s take on the changing role of women in society is equally thought-provoking. She commented, “I think that women have acquired a place in society that was forbidden before.”
“And yet, has the desire to have children disappeared? I think women want to do things at their own pace, and not feel guilty for thinking of themselves,” she added. Her assertion that women should be free to pursue their goals at their own pace resonates with those who appreciate the delicate balance between societal progress and preserving traditional values.
The singer addressed the criticism women often face for their decisions, likening it to “navigating a minefield.”
“I also see this endless criticism of women’s choices. It’s like navigating a minefield from the very beginning. For me, it’s really important to respect women’s choices, whatever they are,” she stated.
Furthermore, Dua’s support for the LGBTQ community carries a message of acceptance and understanding. She noted, “Homophobia and transphobia are neighbors of misogyny,” highlighting the interconnectedness of various forms of prejudice. She went on, “Many people, deep down, are just scared of themselves. The freedom of others forces them to come to terms with something they are too scared to express. The beauty of a free, true and proud being paralyzes them.”
In previous interviews, Dua has been vocal about her duty to stand up for LGBTQ rights. According to her, it is a way to make a positive impact and create a more inclusive society.
As she celebrated her 28th birthday on Wednesday, Dua also marked a new chapter in her career with her role as Mermaid Barbie in Greta Gerwig’s hit movie, Barbie.
