The Ultimate Multi-Hyphenate Radmila Lolly Steps Into a New Role as Author

Radmila Lolly has never stayed in just one lane. Opera singer. Fashion icon. Courtside fixture. A woman who once stunned NBA arenas with gowns as loud as the buzzer — and just as unforgettable. But now, Lolly is channeling her commanding energy and cinematic vision into a new role: author. Her debut novel, Life is a Bridge, is not just a book — it’s the beginning of a global storytelling universe. The first in a high-stakes trilogy set in New York City, the book introduces us to Karina — a mysterious, seductive mastermind who orchestrates dazzling heists under the guise of public performances. Think Ocean’s Eleven meets Now You See Me, but make it fashion-forward and emotionally dangerous.

“Karina isn’t your typical anti-hero. She’s a puzzle you can’t solve, a trap you’ll walk into willingly,” Lolly says. “If you’ve ever found yourself falling for the person you knew could destroy you — that’s the Karina effect.”

It’s a bold step for someone already known for living a life that blends drama, glamour, and precision, but this move is an evolution. Lolly isn’t turning the page on the sports world, the music stage, or the fashion runway. She’s weaving them into her storytelling. The book comes with its own ecosystem: cinematic visuals, original music, immersive events, and couture looks that bring the characters to life.

“To me, every scene is a set. Every line of dialogue, a lyric. Every twist in the story deserves its own soundtrack and signature style,” she says. “Writing a novel was the natural next step in building worlds.”

And build she has. Life is a Bridge is already poised to expand into a nine-book, three-city trilogy (New York, London, Sydney), each anchoring its own season of a TV adaptation in development. Lolly — yes, she’s playing Karina — is bringing a level of cross-medium ambition rarely seen in debut authors. Add to that a fashion line inspired by the characters, a social media campaign with cinematic flair, and a full audiobook experience featuring her own voice and original score, and you start to get the picture: this isn’t just a book. It’s a world you step into.

But at the heart of it all is Karina — the character you’ll love to hate, hate to love, and never quite pin down.

“She’s not here to be liked,” Lolly smiles. “She’s here to be remembered.”

So is Lolly.

Welcome to the next chapter — one that promises glamour, danger, and a heroine who might just steal your heart—and everything else while she’s at it.
