Dua Lipa has been granted Albanian citizenship for her role in spreading Albanians' fame internationally through her music.

The singer, 26, was born in London to Kosovar-Albanian parents who fled conflict and political instability in the Balkans.

She took to her Instagram to mark the achievement, writing: 'Thank you President Bajram Begaj and Mayor @erionveliaj for this honour ~ got my Albanian citizenship!!'

In an electric blue dress with a checked pattern that cinched her in at her trim waist, Dua cut an effortlessly chic figure.

She wore it with a pair of white boots with high heels and carried a white mesh handbag for her essentials.
