The rumors are true: Dua Lipa is talented, gorgeous, and she has great taste in literature. Daniela Tijerina can confirm as much after spending a morning chatting with the musician about her Service95 book club, a “cultural concierge”—there’s a website, a newsletter, and a podcast—where Lipa offers bespoke book recommendations and conversations with authors from around the world. Seven of those authors—Douglas Stuart, Brit Bennett, Patti Smith, Roxane Gay, Jennifer Clement, Patrick Radden Keefe, and Min Jin Lee—posed with Lipa for a photo that appears in VF’s latest issue. “I’m sure that there are lots of other things she could be doing with her time that would be far more profitable than championing books,” Bennett told Daniela. “It’s amazing that she does this out of a genuine love for reading.” Perhaps we’d all do well to listen to Lipa’s new rules. One: Do pick up a book.
Elsewhere, José Criales-Unzueta catches up with model Alex Consani, and Dan Adler investigates the most pressing issue of our time: Did the celebrity conspiracists who’ve spent years swearing that O.J. Simpson didn’t act alone have a point? More tomorrow!
