“I love love. It is a beautiful thing,” says Lipa on romance.

Harper’s Bazaars got an iconic—and heartfelt—new cover star! Dua Lipa is front and center for the magazine’s latest Icons issue, celebrating the top visionaries across fashion and culture today. Lipa opens up on her romantic new outlook on life—including with fiancé Callum Turner—for the magazine, photographed by Anthony Seklaoui in an array of leather and lace. Elsewhere, the issue’s annual ICONS portfolio also includes Benny Blanco, Megan Stalter, Chase Hall, Ravyn Lenae, Chloe Kim, Sadie Sink, and Eva Victor, each photographed by Philip-Daniel Ducasse and styled by Gabriella Karefa-Johnson. The spread also extends to Bazaar’s 21 international editions, which include new covers of Kate Moss, Adèle Exarchopoulos, and Karina as well. You can discover the full ICONS portfolio now on HarpersBazaar.com, and keep an eye out when it hits newsstands on August 26th.

“I love love. It is a beautiful thing,” says Lipa on romance. “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. 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.”
