Dua, 29, realised a lifelong dream when she played to 70,000 adoring fans at Wembley Stadium.
She first performed in the capital 10 years ago to just 350 people, but her latest sell-out gig was part of her worldwide Radical Optimism tour.
The singer celebrated her incredible performance, with an exclusive after party at White City House in West London.
On social media, she displayed some behind the scenes snaps as she took to her Instagram grid page.
Pictures of the event showed her intimately dancing with her A-list actor fiance Callum Turner, 35.
The One Kiss singer wrapped her arms around her husband as he gently caressed her derriere on the dancefloor.
She also smiled and posed with friends as she beamed from ear to ear in a skimpy see-through sheer black dress.
This included a petrol-blue Balenciaga slip dress draped in a faux-fur coat lined with the Union Jack flag and a silver custom Swarovski bodysuit with matching Christian Louboutin boots.
During her show she exclaimed: “Wembley, thank you. It is something I’ve dreamt of my whole life, and all day I have been feeling so much love and gratitude to be here with you guys.
“It is just surreal. It feels like such a journey, but also like everything has happened so quickly.
“I want to thank you for believing in me and trusting me, dancing with me, singing with me — and allowing me to wake up every single morning to do what I love to do. Looking out and seeing all you guys means the absolute world to me.”

TEMPLEGATE’S Monday picks are below.
Back a horse by clicking their odds.
ADVERTORIAL (5.35 Wolverhampton, nap)
Ed Dunlop’s filly really enjoyed stepping up to this trip when getting up on the line here last time out. She took a while to get going but showed a decent turn of foot coming round the bend. The handicapper was more than fair with a 3lb rise and she takes a slight drop in class here under Hollie Doyle who can steer her to victory.
DANNICK (4.35 Wolverhampton, nb)
He looks to be working up to a win and was beaten just a neck at Lingfield last time. He came home with a real rattle so this extra furlong should be right up his street. It won’t take a lot more to get off the mark in a modest contest.
BOLD SUITOR (5.05 Wolverhampton, treble)
Is a model of consistency and can get another deserved win. He was a close-up second here last time and the handicapper has left his mark alone. This trip is ideal and he’ll be right there again.
Complete the Lucky 15 with NOGO’S DREAM (6.58 Windsor)
He was a good winner the last time he tackled this course and distance in May and didn’t get a run at Epsom last time. Oisin Murphy gets back on board which is a big plus.

LOVE Island is embroiled in a ‘bullying’ row that has left viewers feeling ‘uncomfy’.
The ITV2 show’s fresh bullying row has seemingly been sparked by Shakira and Toni after they went up against Emily in Sunday night’s instalment of Love Island.
Toni previously said Emily was annoying because of he ‘Little Miss Sunshine’ personaErotemeShakira and Toni aren’t Emily’s biggest fansErotemeShakira pulled Emily aside for a chatErotemeThe two women chatted, though didn’t agreeEroteme
Shakira, 22, and Toni, 24, were seen ‘ganging up’ on Emily, 24, in ‘uncomfortable’ scenes.
On Friday night, Toni seemingly accused Emily of being nosey, with the two women going head to head.
Toni was seen chatting to Meg saying: “I can’t listen to her. ‘Little Miss Sunshine’ all the time.”
Elsewhere in the episode, Toni said: “Emily’s just f**king nosey.”
And then, in tonight’s episode, things came to a head when Shakira got involved.
“I feel like in situations, it’s a case of reading the room a little bit…I feel like you’ve not made an effort with us,” Shakira said to Emily.
Later when Shakira mentions Toni having a bad day, Emily hits back.
“Just cause she’s in a bad mood doesn’t mean I can’t be in a good mood…you should have come to me,” Emily said.
The two don’t agree and leave things there but when Shakira hears Emily telling the group about their conversation, the argument is reignited.
Shakira then pulled Emily aside to say she sometimes finds her “bitchy”.
She explained how sometimes it feels like Emily will tell the other girls stuff that has been said.
Emily then said that she didn’t feel this was true.
“What’s with the bullying in this villa????” asked one person on X as the scenes played out.
“So uncomfy to watch. All the girls just bullying one another it’s disgusting,” added a second.
Love Island 2025 full lineup
Harry Cooksley: A 30-year-old footballer with charm to spare.
Shakira Khan: A 22-year-old Manchester-based model, ready to turn heads.
Megan Moore: A payroll specialist from Southampton, looking for someone tall and stylish.

A 44-year-old man was also found at the scene with slash wounds and was arrested on suspicion of murder.
Now, Annabel’s family have released a moving tribute to their “beautiful daughter, sister, friend and mother.”
In the message published through the Metropolitan Police, they wrote: “The family is struggling to come to terms with this terrible tragedy.
“Annabel was a truly wonderful woman. She touched the hearts of so many.
“She gave her life to helping the vulnerable and the disadvantaged whether it was in refugee camps in Africa or setting up MamaSuze in London, to enhance the lives of survivors of forced displacement and gender-based violence.
“We would really appreciate it if our privacy could be respected.”
It is understood that children had been at a sleepover in the home before it exploded in a suspected gas blast which “shook” the street.
A friend of the family said her two sons were at a sleepover on Tuesday when she died.
They told The Standard: “We know them well. Our kids are in the same class. The school is on the corner. We are all here because of the school.
“They have two little boys. The kids were out at a sleepover. We know the family from birthday parties, everything.”
Mum-of-two Annabel has been praised by neighbours as a “truly kind and gentle soul” following her death.
They highlighted how she supported women who were survivors of gender-based violence, female migrants and child refugees for two decades.
John Martin, artistic director of PAN Intercultural Arts, where Annabel worked with young refugees for 16 years until 2022, previously described her as “a larger-than-life character” who joined the charity as a volunteer with lots of energy.
In a personal tribute, John said: “Annabel’s energy brought a lot to the women and gave them new hope.
“This was her speciality, I think – a sort of a boundless optimism, a boundless self-confidence, which she transferred onto other people.
“She spent her life, certainly the 10, 12 years that I knew her, fighting against women who had been abused, fighting against violence to women, and the irony is that she then suffered from violence to women in the way that she died yesterday.”
MamaSuze said in a statement shared on Tuesday that it was “devastated by the loss of our beloved co-founder” and that she treated everyone with “warmth and kindness”.
“Annabel was a profound force for good in the world, dedicating her working life to supporting women survivors,” it added.
‘WE ARE IN COMPLETE SHOCK’
In the early hours of Tuesday morning, around 40 firefighters were scrambled to Annabel’s house to put out a blaze which started an hour after neighbours heard “massive bangs” from the peaceful family home.
Two children, aged seven and nine, were taken to hospital as a precaution, but are not currently believed to have been in the building during the explosion.
Cops said: “We do believe this to be a domestic-related incident.”
Neighbours in the leafy London suburb told The Sun they heard a “massive bang” before paramedics attempted to resuscitate Annabel on the street outside her £1 million home.
One said: “I knew them and their kids very well. We are in complete shock. Our daughter was their babysitter.
“Smoke was billowing around the street and we had to shut all our windows.
“It is lucky nothing happened to nobody else.”
Detective Chief Superintendent Brittany Clarke, who leads policing in the local area, said: “This is an extremely tragic incident and our thoughts are with the victim’s family at this very difficult time.
“Our officers arrested a man on suspicion of murder at the scene and will be conducting interviews as soon as possible, to establish the full circumstances that led to Annabel’s death.
“While enquiries continue, at this early stage we do believe this to be a domestic-related incident.
“We understand what happened will cause concern within the Hackney community and residents can expect to see an increased police presence in the area, along with a crime scene, as we carry out the investigation.
“We are working closely alongside our partners at Hackney Council to help support those residents locally who have been impacted by this.”

A WOKE council blamed climate change as it axed a popular air show despite it making £60million for the local economy.
The four-day Bournemouth Air Festival, featuring the Red Arrows, has run for 16 years and attracts 600,000 fans.

PAThe local authority scrapped the airshow this year saying it cannot afford £250,000 to stage it and also citing carbon emissions[/caption]
But the cash-strapped local authority said it cannot afford £250,000 to stage it and also cited the carbon emissions the planes and the extra traffic produce as a reason for stopping it.
Bosses at the Lib Dem-run council, which has just hired a new chief executive on a salary of £220,000, are accused of being killjoys and lacking ambition.
Conservative councillor Phil Broadhead said: “Saying we don’t like planes, therefore we should ban the air festival for the sake of three or four days that brings millions to the local economy is a step too far.
“On that note, we shouldn’t be doing anything that generates any carbon whatsoever.
“What we are doing is banning fun.”
Bournemouth Area Hospitality Association chairwoman Rosie Radwell said: “It is a great shame because the air festival was a big boost for Bournemouth.
“It is a huge loss to the area.
“I don’t think tourism is the top priority for this council.”
Asked about its impact on the climate she said: “I don’t think it was as bad as they said.
“And I don’t think it’s as bad as they say.”

IRISH actress Kerry Condon has revealed the touching way she honoured her mum in her latest blockbuster role.
The Tipperary native stars alongside Hollywood A-lister Brad Pitt in the action-packed F1 drama which is set for release on June 25.

Kerry is taking on the role of Kate McKenna, the race director of the fictional APXGP team and the first female technical director in Formula 1.
The actress has shared that it meant a lot to her when the directors encouraged her to keep her Irish accent for the role as she’s keen to represent Irish women on the big screen.
She pointed out how rare it is to hear a female lead in a major movie speak with an Irish accent and she was delighted to bring that authenticity to her character.
Kerry told the Irish Independent: “I’ve always wanted to do a blockbuster movie, and obviously this is the female lead in a massive blockbuster movie.
“And then they wanted me to be Irish. I thought, ‘Jeez, I don’t think I’ve seen that before, the Irish accent in a female lead, in a big massive movie.”
She also opened up about a heartfelt nod to her mum in the film.
Kerry confessed: “I wanted to wear my Claddagh ring in the movie too, one that my mother got me and I wear all the time, so my character got to wear that.”
The film star recently revealed how she transformed into a movie villain, by trying to look like one of the mass-murdering Manson girls.
The female killers were among a group of followers who were brainwashed by cult leaderCharles MansoninCaliforniain the late 1960s and early 1970s.
Kerry said she used various sources of inspiration to play Doireann in her new film In The Land of Saints and Sinners.
The Co Tipperary-born star explained: “I wanted to not be pretty. I went with one of the Manson girls for the hair.
“I saw a picture and there was something a little creepy and so I ran with that idea.”
The Manson Family were confirmed to have murdered nine people — but it is thought the death toll was actually double that.
Three female members of the group — Susan Atkins, Linda Kasabian and Patricia Krenwinkel — were killers with pregnant movie star Sharon Tate, the 26-year-old wife of director Roman Polanski, the most high-profile victim.
Kerry, from Thurles, said that in order to stand up to Liam Neeson in the thrilling flick she was also influenced by Joe Pesci’s character in Goodfellas and the evil mum in The Goonies.
VILLAIN-SPIRATION
She continued: “Initially, I was a bit like, ‘Oh, jeez, my work’s going to be cut out for me because Liam Neeson’s really tall’.
“Tall to a regular person, and I’m pretty small, so he’s really tall compared to me.
“When I’m standing beside him the audience have to believe that Liam would feel me as a threat.
“Then I remembered various villains in the past that I was affected by, like Joe Pesci in Goodfellas. They might not have been physically menacing but there was something about them that was really nerve-wrecking.
“Personalities that feel a little unhinged, and unpredictable. So I started to tap into that.
“I remembered the mother in The Goonies was a strange-looking person. I thought about the idea that people who think negative things, physically they’re not smiley and bright and their energy isn’t nice.
“All these negative thoughts and negative vibrations manifest in your body.”

A BRITISH woman caught in Iran’s revenge strikes after the US atom plant attack told how she was buoyed by her “blitz spirit” yesterday.
Nicola Simmonds, 58, was rocked by the biggest ballistic missile to blast Tel Aviv early yesterday.

The tour guide told how fellow shelter dwellers gasped in terror as the explosion wrecked a low rise housing block and sent a blast of air through her bunker.
Nicola – who grew up in Mill Hill, North London but now lives in the Ramat Aviv suburb 10 miles north of the city centre – said: “I’ve heard blast before in recent days but nothing like this.
“There was an enormous boom followed by a rush of air and we knew this was big and very close.
“But I’m British and my grandfather was a volunteer ambulance driver in the London blitz – so I strangely didn’t feel as afraid as everyone else.
“It was against all advice but I, kind of, crawled out of my hole and found myself heading straight for the site of the explosion.
“It’s strange but it really did feel like the blitz – what my grandfather had braved in London, I was now experiencing in Tel Aviv.”
A five storey block 600 metres from Nicola’s home was devastated at 8am yesterday by an enormous Iranian missile strike.
Bedding, clothes and belongings hung from the blown out shell of a block with other buildings blackened, cars wrecked and glass and debris strewn across the neighbourhood.
The Sun’s team took cover in a hotel shelter at 7.30am yesterday when sirens and alerts signalled the first revenge attack after Operation Midnight Hammer.
Walls of our shelter in the city centre hotel shook violently as a series of explosions ripped through the air above.
Ramat Aviv took the biggest hit of the attack in the bustling coastal city as families across the country cowered bomb shelters.
Gran-of-three Shevi Lahav – an 84-year-old holocaust survivor – told The Sun: “I live on the fourth floor of a nine story block but don’t know if I have a home to go back to now.
“I fled from the Nazis in Russian for two years in World War II and it’s hard to believe I’m being attacked again.
“I was in the shelter but god knows what would have happened to me if I hadn’t reached the shelter.
“But we won’t give in – we didn’t give in then and we won’t give in now.”
