WIRED gives Dua Lipa’s height as 5 ft 8 in (about 173 cm).
What do the reviewed sources establish?
Asked about her height in WIRED’s Autocomplete Interview, Lipa answers 5 ft 8 in. Her reply is a direct self-report, which is stronger evidence of what she claims than an unattributed biography entry. The interview does not show an independent measurement.
Future Nostalgia and Radical Optimism
Lipa’s catalogue includes the self-titled debut, Future Nostalgia and Radical Optimism. The latter album’s 2024 Associated Press interview gives an account of how her music developed: touring fed her interest in trip-hop, Britpop and live instruments, and Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker became a collaborator. She describes a more open writing process while retaining a pop instinct.
Her WIRED interview comes from an earlier point in that sequence, the Future Nostalgia period in December 2020. In addition to answering the height question, she describes putting cover versions online to introduce herself as a singer. It connects the well-known performer with the early work she did to make her voice heard.
