Dua Lipa may not be the only superstar in her family. This is because the sister of the 'Grammy' winning singer, Rina, is slowly but surely making her way to fame and great success.
Rina is a model who has collaborated with some of the biggest fashion brands, while also expressing her aspirations to become an actress.
Recently, Rina was part of an event organized by the 'Miu Miu' brand where she shone alongside some of the best models. On social networks, Rina appeared with Mia Regan, the girlfriend of Victoria and David Beckham's son, Romeo, and one of the most successful models of her age.

Dressed in a set consisting of a yellow skirt and crop top, Rina took all the attention, without having her sister by her side. When in our country many can associate her name with Dua, in the international market Rina is creating her own name and not many can know her connection with the singer.
But who is Rina Lipa, who is little talked about in Albania?
1. 'Gen Z It Girl'
In an interview with Tatler for the January 2022 issue of the magazine, Rina was called a "Gen Z It Girl". The magazine describes Rina as "the fabulously glamorous actress on the rise and Instagram sensation." In the interview, she talked about her childhood in Pristina, Kosovo, as well as the close relationship she shares with Dua. "Rina is definitely a rising star to watch," the publication wrote of the 21-year-old.
2. She Made Her Milan Fashion Week Debut
Rina opened the 'GCDS Fall 2021' show during Milan Fashion Week in February 2021. She wore an olive green dress with side slits for the show, which marked the debut of her on the track. Dua supported her little sister at the time by posting a video of Rina on Instagram and saying: "She's doing what needs to be done." Before Milan Fashion Week, Rina did several modeling campaigns for NastyGal, including a photoshoot in Venice Beach for the summer 2019 collection.
3. Participating in a horror film
Rina has participated in various commercials, and recently she secured a major role in the film. The 21-year-old will appear on the big screen in a horror thriller directed by Italian director Gianluigi Carella. Not much is known about Rina's role in the film, but we can expect her to do a great job in her first big Hollywood film project.
4. Lots of followers on social networks
So far, Rina counts over 950 thousand followers on Instagram. She has amassed new followers every day on her account, where she posts photos from her modeling jobs, vacations, adventures, and family moments. Dua has around 90 million followers on the platform, so Rina still has a ways to go before she catches up with her big sister. But still, Rina is making great strides in her social media following, which is crucial these days to make a mark in the modeling and acting industry.
5. Rina has a close bond with her sister
Rina and Dua have developed such a close bond between sisters over the years. In her interview in Tatler, Rina said that she "adored" the singer of "Don't Start Now" when they were children. "I tried to dress like her, I would steal her clothes. When I wore them, I would feel bigger. It's still like that, I go through her closet and say, "Mmm, you haven't worn it in a while." It is "Oh God, don't take it from me!"
They also express their love on social networks as Dua often takes Rina to big events, such as the recent Paris Fashion Week
