Dua Lipa looks incredible as she strips off to tiny bikini on sun-soaked Brazil trip with lookalike sister

DUA Lipa looked sensational as she stripped to a bright orange bikini on holiday with her sister.

The Levitating hitmaker, 30, soaked up the sunshine in her matching two-piece as she joined look-a-like sister Rina, 24, on a day bed.

Rina, who is carving out her own career as a Gen Z influencer but has dreams of becoming a top actress, opted for red halterneck swimwear for their day in Brazil.

Both siblings shared their sun tan spot on a balcony above a busy beach.

Yet with the rays playing havoc with their Instagram snap, they shaded their eyes with their hands for their sexy snap.

Dua was seen keeping hydrated with a big bottle of water and sun tan lotion perched on a table alongside her.

Dua posted a gallery of her holiday snaps to her Instagram grid with the caption: “Rio in my [heart].”

It came just a day after the New Rules hitmaker was seen in the crowds at a South American football clash.

The Brit songstress was spotted at the Fluminense vs Flamengo derby in a Brazil shirt – just days after taking in Argentina’s mammoth showpiece.

She is currently on her ‘Ridical Optimism Tour‘ and after playing two shows at the Estadio River Plate in Buenos Aires, she went to Chile for back-to-back performances.

Last week on November 15, she performed in Sao Paulo, Brazil and isn’t due back on stage until tonight in Rio de Janeiro, so has been letting her hair down and taking some well earned chilled time.

LOVED-UP

Meanwhile, Dua is no stranger to a sexy outfit, and recently posed in a sheer lace top as she told how she had “deeply fallen” for fiance Callum Turner.

She opened up about her actor fiance, who she got engaged to last year, after a whirlwind romance.

Discussing their relationship, Dua said: “I love love. It is a beautiful thing.

“It’s a really inspiring thing. You find yourself so intensely falling all the time in the best way possible. That vulnerability is so scary, but I feel so lucky to get to feel it.

“I’ve spent a lot of time being guarded or protecting my heart, and so I’m letting go of that feeling and just being like, ‘Okay, if I’m supposed to get hurt, then this is what’s going to happen.’ I have to just allow love.”

The singer added: “I’m happier than ever, so it feels like I’m doing a disservice by not talking about it.

“When you’re a public person, anything that’s very personal is very vulnerable. It’s not like I don’t want to share it.”

Chicago serves up legendary eats, stunning views, and sun-soaked beaches you can’t resist

MOVE over, New York! Chicago will win your heart (and stomach), says writer Qin Xie.

“Is this place famous or something?” I overhear someone ask as our camera-wielding tour group files into Mr Beef.

The low-key Chicago sandwich shop is a cult favourite, serving wafer-thin slices of roast beef in gravy-dipped bread since 1979.

But thanks to TV show The Bear, which is inspired by the eatery, its popularity has sky-rocketed and now fans are flocking here on food tours.

At £96 plus tips, the half-day bus tour is a pricey day out – but as I bite into my flavour bomb of a sandwich, there’s nowhere I’d rather be (Chicagofoodtours.com).

Pizza the action

I’ve visited Chicago a few times and I always book a food tour, because the city is home to some of the best restaurants in the US.

WEEKEND WONDERS

CASH IN

On the Beach launches new affordable city breaks to 188 destinations from £83pp

First-timers should try the gut-busting Original Chicago Pizza Tour, £66 for a half-day, where the classic deep dish is the star (Chicagopizzatours.com), though the fabulous half-day tacos and tequila tour in Pilsen, the city’s Mexican neighbourhood, is better for making friends.

I met a local improv comedian on mine and ended up going to his show.

Fantastic food aside, I love checking out the artworks scattered around Millennium Park, free fireworks displays at Navy Pier every Wednesday and Saturday night, plus quirky attractions like the Museum of Ice Cream, where you can try the hot-dog flavour!

It’s certainly an experience, but the strawberry cheesecake flavour is so much better.

Entry costs £18 per person (Museumoficecream.com).

Top of my list of places to revisit on this trip is Skydeck Chicago.

Located on the 103rd floor of Willis Tower, it’s the highest observation deck in the US, with sweeping views of the city.

There’s only one problem – I’m terrified of heights.

On my last visit, I hovered around the edge of the glass-bottomed viewing platform, too scared to step forward for a better view.

This time, as soon as I get close to the edge, my palms start to sweat and I’m ready to leave.

Then, out of the blue, a complete stranger offers me their hand to hold.

Something about it gives me the courage to step on to the glass and, between cold sweats and hot flushes, I manage to get a decent selfie.

Tickets cost £24 per person (Theskydeck.com).

Beach happy

On gloriously sunny days, it’s utter bliss to cycle along the Lakefront Trail next to Lake Michigan, stopping to flop out at the sandy beaches beside the city skyline.

I use bike-share scheme Divvy – there are bikes everywhere and they cost just £13 a day (Divvybikes.com).

The best place to refuel is Whispers at Oak Street Beach, right on the sand, although an iced coffee here will set you back close to £7 (Whispersgroup.com).

I’m staying at L7 Chicago By Lotte, a hotel in the heart of the city with rooms that come with yoga mats and free weights (Lottehotel.com).

It’s steps away from Chicago Riverwalk, the waterside footpath where the locals hang out, and it’s here that I join Urban Kayaks for a paddle past towering skyscrapers as a guide shares stories about the architecture.

A two-hour tour costs £44 per person (Urbankayaks.com).

My fave thing about coming to Chicago?

Exploring the neighbourhoods, like leafy Lincoln Park with its free zoo, or trendy Wicker Park and Bucktown, which are packed with cool street art and edgy boutiques.

It’s why I can’t get enough of this city – each of its 77 neighbourhoods feels like somewhere new.
