Dua Lipa, the queen of radical optimism and possibly radical pizza cravings, is taking a bite out of New York City—literally! On a casual Tuesday (October 8), the 29-year-old pop star was spotted working up an appetite while simultaneously working on what could only be described as “secret mission: pizza edition.”
Dua was busy on set, doing something highly mysterious (more mysterious than why we all thought low-rise pants were a good idea back in the day) at Mercury Bar. But let’s talk about the real headline: her outfit. She rocked a pair of low-slung black leather pants with laces on the sides, channeling major “I could fight crime or just order more pizza” energy. Her silver top was almost backless—because, honestly, why should your back do all that work when the pizza slice is doing the heavy lifting? She topped it all off with black stilettos, because even pizza runs demand fashion.
In the midst of her top-secret project (which may or may not just be her scouting out the best pizza in NYC), Dua Lipa stopped at Joe’s Pizza to grab a slice. And let’s be clear: this wasn’t just a slice. This was a slice that made her face light up like she’d just heard one of her own songs on the radio. She strutted through the restaurant with the ultimate accessory—a slice of pizza perched delicately on a paper plate. It’s unclear whether she was more excited about the pizza or the filming, but judging by her smile, pizza might’ve won this round.
What exactly Dua is filming remains a mystery. Is it a new music video? An avant-garde pizza documentary? A tutorial on how to look cool while eating carbs? We don’t know yet, but rest assured, we’ll keep you posted as soon as we crack the case. Until then, we’ll just be here, wondering how she manages to make eating pizza look so glamorous.
