This is what lawyers like me (#advertising and marketing law) help our clients avoid. Either someone ignored legal advice or never sought review, or someone used the image as a placeholder and no one recognized the celebrity nor went back to check that they had a proper model release, or, also possible that someone used an “AI” tool to generate an image to “look like Dua Lipa”, thinking they could avoid liability.(Wrong.)

tldr: Hire an advertising lawyer.
