Dua Lipa is going from Levitating to percolating as she has been named the newest Nespresso global ambassador.

The singer, 30, will front the coffee company’s new campaign, marking a fresh chapter as Clooney celebrates two decades working with Nespresso since 2006.

The pairing signals a clear push to connect with a younger audience, with Lipa bringing significant cultural influence beyond music.

A three-time Grammy winner with multiple chart-toppers including Training Season and Houdini, Lipa has also established herself as a fashion fixture and modern It-girl.

Her announcement of the partnership proved instantly popular, attracting more than 200,000 likes on Instagram within hours.

Lipa has already demonstrated her ability to drive trends online, most notably with a 2024 TikTok video in which she added jalapeños and pickle juice to a Diet Coke, prompting millions to try the unusual combination.

“She’s a true explorer, always curious, always trying something new and that energy fits beautifully with the direction we’re taking as a brand,” Aizpuru said. “Our purpose is to empower endless exploration through exceptional coffee, and Dua brings that mindset to life in a modern, effortless way.

“Together, we want to inspire a new generation to open up to new tastes with confidence and to discover how a coffee moment can become something truly exceptional.”

A spokesperson for the company also told Adweek that Clooney “continues to collaborate with us and will appear in future brand activities.

“This new campaign simply puts the spotlight on Dua Lipa, but George's long-standing relationship and contributions remain essential to Nespresso.”
