Dua Lipa
Dua Lipa's Microphones
In a photo uploaded by Officialcharts, Dua Lipa is pictured in front of a Neumann U87 microphone, indicating its use in her recording sessions.
Dua Lipa postes this photo and says I don't know why I was holding my mic like that.
Spotted this microphone at 1:59 in this cover of "I Would Rather Go Blind"
In this picture you can see the singer holding her black microphone which is "shure ULXD2/KSMHS".
In this interview, Ian Kirkpatrick says "I also usually do the vocal recording and production. Dua tends to record at my place, using my Telefunken [ELA M] 251, or sometimes my Shure SM7. Many of the vocals here are recorded on the SM7, handheld. I do of course get vocal recordings and comps made by others, and however great they are, I always ask for the other takes, so I can tweak the vocal production. I like to have options."

In the article "Living It Up Live With Dua Lipa" by Clive Young on Mixonline, Dua Lipa's FOH engineer Will Nicholson confirms that she uses the Shure KSM11 wireless microphone capsule during her Future Nostalgia Tour.
According to Andrew Watt, the vocal chain he employs for artists he collaborates with, such as Dua Lipa, includes the Sony C-800G microphone. He states, "Whether it’s Lipa or Osbourne, Cyrus or Malone on vocals, the exact same microphone and vocal chain is used: Sony C-800G to a Neve 1073 and UAD CL-1B, to Renaissance Channel, RVox for level, iZotope Nectar EQ, Fab-Filter ProDS (or Massey De-Esser) and usually a Magic Death Eye last—then a variety of effects including Valhalla Vintage Verb, a Plate of choice, various delays and often some sort of tight modulation (i.e. Waves Doubler, SoundToys Microshift, or TAL-CHORUS)."
