Dua Lipa Launches Paris Book Club
Following her Grammy performance, Dua Lipa is hosting a new book club at Bar de Vie in Paris on February 25, 2026, from 7-9 p.m., marking a literary expansion beyond her music career. The pop star was recently spotted in luxury shearling coats including Gucci tiger print with gold chain belt, and is reportedly pausing her world tour to enroll in university classes.
- The Paris event is a physical extension of Dua Lipa's online platform, Service95, which she founded in February 2022 as a global style, culture, and society concierge service. - Her "Service95 Book Club" launched in June 2022, with the Booker Prize-winning novel "Shuggie Bain" by Douglas Stuart as its inaugural selection. - The book club's monthly picks are known for their diversity, spanning fiction, memoir, and manifestos, with past selections including "On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous" by Ocean Vuong, "The Vanishing Half" by Brit Bennett, and Michelle Zauner's memoir, "Crying in H Mart". - Complementing the book club, Lipa hosts a podcast titled "Service95 Book Club With Dua Lipa," where she interviews the authors of her monthly picks, such as a recent conversation with producer Mark Ronson about his memoir. - The rumor about pausing her tour for university is an overstatement; however, she is pursuing further education. In October 2025, while on her "Radical Optimism Tour," she passed her GCSE Spanish exam and is now studying for her A-Levels in the language. - Her "Radical Optimism" world tour was not paused; it began in September 2025 and had dates running through North and South America until the end of that year.
