Dua Lipa Is a Disco Mermaid in a Baby-Blue Mesh Minidress and Silver Platforms

Dua Lipa is bringing her Barbie character to the real world.


The pop star channeled disco mermaid energy in her latest vacation look, which consisted of a baby-blue mesh minidress paired with shiny silver sky-high platform sandals. Lipa wore the little sheer long-sleeved dress over a matching light blue bikini, and carried a checkered pink-and-white box bag by Chanel—as any Barbie would. She finished the look with dark rectangular no-frame sunglasses, big gold flower-shaped earrings, and a gold anklet with tiny charms. “Ibiza ritual 🐬,” she wrote in the caption.

The outfit looks like it was pulled straight from Lipa’s ’70s-inspired Barbie movie closet. In Greta Gerwig’s hit film, Lipa stars as Mermaid Barbie, a mysterious underwater creature with electric-blue hair. The singer also recorded a song for the movie’s soundtrack, the disco-pop bop “Dance the Night,” which plays during the Barbies and the Kens’ choreographed dance routine.

Lipa’s vacation wardrobe since then has been mimicking the disco-doll look and embracing mermaidcore energy. Over the weekend, she enjoyed a beach day in a black crocket bikini with colorful flower appliqués, which she wore under a sheer black dress. And earlier this month, the “Sweetest Pie” singer stepped out during her Mediterranean getaway in a metallic pink minidress with a long train, styled with a chunky gold chain choker. “All I do is beach,” she wrote in an Instagram post featuring the look, quoting Ken (played by Ryan Gosling) from the film.
