Dua Lipa looked ready to dance the night away as she hit the beach in a metallic minidress on 3 Aug. Hot off the "Barbie" movie press tour [2], Lipa, who plays Mermaid Barbie, posed by the water in the strappy ensemble, which she paired with chunky jewellery. In addition to the striking fabric, Lipa's night-out look featured a dramatic side train that resembled rose gold lava cascading down her waist. "All I do is beach," she captioned Instagram photos of herself, channelling Ryan Gosling's Ken-ergy [3].
A futuristic take on the Barbiecore fashion trend [4], Lipa's chrome dress looked like the kind of outfit Barbie would magically slip into ahead of a night out with the girls or a disco dance party set to the "Barbie" movie soundtrack [5]. The full ensemble featured a square neckline and a fluttery miniskirt that gave the chic silhouette movement as Lipa walked along the water. She styled the dress with a chain-link statement necklace, multiple rings, and a colourful shoulder bag.
Earlier this summer, Lipa gave another nod to the Barbiecore trend while wearing a pink velvet dress and thigh-high pink boots [6]. She styled the playful outfit with a metallic saddle-bag purse that resembled a disco ball. In June, she also showed off her 2023 swimwear wardrobe, including a Versace polka-dot string bikini [7] adorned with multi-coloured ladybugs and butterflies.
While it's unclear what events Lipa had in store for the evening, we hope the night dancing to her single off the new "Barbie" album [8] at least once. See Lipa's stunning night-out look from all angles above.
