Lipa is seen leaning against a wall inside a house in the retro-style snap in an outfit styled by Lorenzo Posocco.

The singer shows off her svelte yet toned figure in the shot taken by Alexandra Gavillet as she dons a white bralet with a floral print silk miniskirt featuring a very high thigh-split.

The edgy look is completed with an oversized embellished cardigan as she shoots the camera her best pout.

She captioned the snap: "Hi // @refinery29 shot by @alexandra_gavillet", and her nearly six million followers are commenting on it in their droves.

One person wrote: "How gorgeous " as another put: "what a queen"

A third added: "you're so prettyyy I love you so much Have a good day!"

Lipa shared more snaps of the shoot in a previous post, where she thanked the publication for the "lovely interview".

The snaps come as the star has apologised on Twitter yestersay for using the N-word in her 2014 cover of Mila J's song Smoke, Drink, Break-Up.

She belted out the rappers lyrics: "You swear to god you ain't f***ing with a n****".

Lipa admitted she should never have "gone there" when making a public apology for using the racist slur in the recording of her song.

The star, who attended Sylvia Young Theatre School as a youngster, told her Twitter following: "In relation to my 2014 cover I never meant to offend or upset anyone.

"I didn't say the full word but I can admit I shouldn't have gone there at all and that a different word could've been record altogether to avoid offence and confusion."

She also admitted to not thinking the incident through, adding: "I wasn't thinking it through at the time ... I always stand up for social justice and I am very sorry to anyone that I have offended x".

Fans appeared to forgive the singer, with one person replying: "honestly idk why people are bringing up stuff from 2014 just to stir up sh*t , but thank u for this you're an angel! Xx".

As another wrote: "Realizing your past mistakes, learning from them and growing are important steps that everyone should take. I respect you so much for doing this".
