In 1997, Geri performed at the Brit Awards rocking a British flag dress.  Twenty-four years later, Dua paid homage to Geri’s iconic dress.  On Instagram, Geri writes, “Trust yourself. … this dress is a reminder to follow your instincts and be yourself.  24 years ago I had an idea – to wear a Union Jack to celebrate The Brit Awards.  Despite the doubts, I trusted my instincts and wore it anyway. All these years later to see it worn by a fellow sister is so special.  P.S. it was £5 tea towel on a Gucci dress.”

During her acceptance speech, she called on Prime Minister Boris Johnson and demanded a pay raise for the NHS workers, “So I think what we should do, is we should all give a massive, massive round of applause and give Boris a message that we all support a fair pay rise is for our frontline.”  Dua was then given a standing ovation inside London’s O2 Arena.
