Dua Lipa just stole the show at the 2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony in Cleveland, Ohio β with the most heart-melting plus-one: her dad, Dukagjin! Yep, forget hot dates, Dua brought the man responsible for her killer genes.
The 29-year-old queen of bangers (and breaker of hearts) strutted down the red carpet at the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse on October 19, and she looked absolutely stunning in a black two-piece outfit shimmering with sequins. She gave us that βI just woke up like thisβ glam, but letβs be real β no one wakes up looking that good. Meanwhile, Papa Dukagjin came through with some serious dad-level drip: a double-breasted suit with a bowtie that said, βYeah, I know Iβm cool.β
Now, let’s pause and acknowledge: How iconic is it that Dua Lipaβs dad just became the coolest accessory on the red carpet? Forget diamond chokersβthis seasonβs hottest trend is proudly showing off your Balkan dad. Call it βRadical Dad-icism.β
But wait, the star power didn’t stop there! Zendaya rolled up looking like sheβd just stepped out of 1978 to honor the Cher, who was inducted into the Hall of Fame that night. Zendayaβs outfit screamed, βIf Cher can turn back time, so can I!β Honestly, Cher getting inducted is like the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame saying, βOkay, fine, youβre basically music royalty.β
Dua Lipa brought her dad, Zendaya channeled Cher, and Cleveland? Well, Cleveland officially became the most glamorous place on Earth for one magical evening.
