In case you haven't heard, British singer Dua Lipa, our cover girl for the July 2017 issue, might soon be the new Taylor Swift. She's the most nominated artiste at this year's Brit Awards (basically the English version of the Grammys) and her massive summer hit, New Rules, has more views than even Tay Tay's controversial single, Look What You Made Me Do - New Rules has racked up 914 million views on Youtube (at the time of writing) compared to Look What You Made Me Do's 827 million views.

She has been compared to Amy Winehouse, is starting to heat up the Fashion Week front row, and – even before launching her debut album – has already hit the one-million-followers mark on Instagram. Dua Lipa: millennial pop star, or a powerhouse diva who will stand the test of time? Imran Jalal gets up close.
