Forget mermaid Barbie, Dua Lipa’s in beach Barbie mode with these holiday looks

She may have taken to the waves as a mermaid in the Barbie movie but since the film’s release, Dua Lipa’s been moonlighting as beach Barbie and giving us all a lesson in holiday dressing.

Following the London premiere, Dua headed to Albania where she began schooling us in summer dressing 101. And, it seems one trip wasn't enough beaching, as in her most recent insta shots she's switched locations and is now showcasing even more lustworthy holiday looks from Ibiza too. 

In her most recent snap, she danced poolside in a sheer blue mini dress, silver platform mules and a pink Chanel top handle bag that would have looked totally at home in Barbie's dreamhouse. 

While on more dressed down days, her swimwear collection from boutique brands has been making us want to head on holiday ASAP. This black floral style from London based brand Cro-Che not only looks great, but the brand also uses sustainable slow-fashion processes to consciously produce each item.

Earlier this month, Dua took in golden hour in a shimmery pink metallic mini dress from Diesel’s 2024 resort collection, paired with a chunky gold necklace and an orange and yellow snake print bag from The Attico. The combination gives beach Barbie, Disco Barbie and Mermaidcore, all wrapped into one. 

And this isn’t the only beach-worthy look that Dua tempted us with. Posing on the rocks like any true mermaid Barbie should, she opted for a red crochet maxi dress by Blumarine worn with an oversized crystal necklace. Alongside a sweeping train, the dress also features a mermaid-inspired scalloped trim, paying homage to her on-screen counterpart. 

Further proof that when it came to swimwear, Dua was beach ready, she opted for an orange and taupe geometric print bikini from Spanish-based brand Inalbis while sunning herself in Albania. She paired the set with a gold belly chain, her favourite Jennifer Fisher hoop earrings and gold Supreme sunglasses, perfect for people watching as the Ken's take on the waves.

Now if all these looks could just appear in our wardrobe Barbieworld style, we sure would appreciate it.
