Dua Lipa Channels Mermaid Barbie Inspiration in Sheer Fishnet Dress & Mirrored Heels at ‘Barbie’ World Premiere

For the official “Barbie” premiere in Los Angeles on Sunday night, Dua Lipa shone in a dynamic silver mesh dress from Bottega Veneta. The singer will star in the highly anticipated film as a mermaid Barbie, and has already released the song “Dance the Night” for its soundtrack.

Layered atop a matte thong for added coverage, the musician’s custom outfit featured a sleeveless silhouette with a rounded neckline and floor-length skirt. For a glamorous twist, the entire piece was also embroidered with small crystals, creating a sparkling effect from head to toe.

When it came to footwear, Lipa’s shoes were nearly hidden beneath her dress’ skirt. However, complementing its sparkle was an equally dynamic shine: a set of slick silver pumps. The “Dance the Night” singer’s style featured smooth mirrored metallic uppers with sharply pointed toes, which tapered into thin inverted stiletto heels for a dynamic flair.
