Bulgari has announced the appointment of pop star Dua Lipa as its newest global brand ambassador, citing her embodiment of empowerment and confidence as a key alignment with the brand’s values.

Burdese, who will take on the CEO role July 1, succeeding Jean-Christophe Babin, enthused about beginning “this exciting new chapter together” with the artist.

She recently wore Bulgari at the Berlinale Film Festival on Feb. 14, accompanying her fiancé Callum Turner on the red carpet for the premiere of “Rosebush Pruning,” and for the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympics promotional campaign for NBC Olympics & Peacock last November.
An activist and philanthropist, Time magazine included Lipa in the Time 100 list of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2024 and Billboard ranked her at number 25 on its 2025 “Top 100 Women Artists of the 21st Century” list.

In addition to numerous cover shoots, and ambassadorships for the likes of YSL Beauty and Evian, she made her runway debut at Versace’s spring 2022 show in Milan, which was soundtracked by tracks from her album “Future Nostalgia.” In 2023, the singer collaborated with Donatella Versace for the brand’s La Vacanza collection.
