She’s had a busy month, performing in several virtual award shows and events.

And Dua Lipa looked relaxed as she enjoyed some down time and stepped out with her dog Dexter in New York City on Tuesday.

The singer, 25, kept things casual as she flashed her toned midriff in a quirky white t-shirt and oversized green padded jacket.

Dua paired her statement cut-out top with some baggy jeans which boasted a footprint pattern on each leg.

She also ensured she’d be comfortable in a pair of black trainers and accessorised with a colourful necklace and sage green handbag.

Keeping things low-key, Dua scraped her brunette locks into a ponytail and kept her makeup to a minimum with only the lightest touches visible above her face mask.

At one point during the outing, the Levitating hitmaker was seen carrying her sweet pup, who she adopted with beau Anwar Hadid in the summer, under one arm.

December has been a busy month for the star, with her performing at a warehouse in the UK for her Studio 2054 virtual gig.

She was joined by a number of guest performers during the event including Kylie Minogue, Elton John, FKA twigs, Bad Bunny and Miley Cyrus.

The show broke online records, with five million views.

Dua also put on show-stopping performance as she sang a stripped-down rendition of track, Boys Will Be Boys at the virtual Billboard Women in Music event last week.

As she opened the 2020 show last Thursday, the singer impressed viewers with her vocals as she was accompanied by a string quartet. 

Standing on a nearly empty stage, she swayed around with a microphone and belted out a powerful chorus, which tackled sexual harassment and women’s experiences with toxic male behaviour.    

‘Boys will be, boys will be boys/ But girls will be women,’ she crooned as the silhouettes of her orchestra occasionally flashed on the screen. 

The British star, whose album Future Nostalgia is nominated for the 2021 Grammy Awards’ coveted Album Of The Year prize, later took home the Powerhouse Award.

It comes after Dua’s boyfriend Anwar’s mother Yolanda, 56, uploaded a throwback image of the pair from her farmhouse in Pennsylvania onto Instagram.

Dua moved back to the UK in October after relocating stateside over the summer to be with her boyfriend.

In the cosy photo, the singer planted a kiss on 21-year-old model’s cheek as they shared a cuddle with their rescue dog Dexter. 

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Yolanda – who is also mum to models Gigi, 25, and Bella, 24 – wrote: ‘My furry grandson and his parents……. #Dexter #Farmlife.’ (sic)
