But the one that grabbed everyone’s eyes was Dua Lipa. It was previously unknown that she was even in the film. But she is indeed in it and is even playing a version of Barbie. Her Barbie is a mermaid. In the poster released of Lipa, she can be seen in bright blue hair while wearing a tank top with some chunky jewelry. However, not many were impressed with her looks. Fans of the singer took to Twitter to complain about her tacky clothes and hair in the film.
Dua Lipa Fans Aren’t Impressed With Her Barbie Looks
Fans of Dua Lipa flooded social media with their opinions on the first-look poster of the singer in the Barbie movie. Many think that the blue hair of the actress looks cheap, plasticky, and garish. It’s something that isn’t expected from a movie that has a budget of $100 million. Others accused the production team of giving her a tacky outfit that left a lot to be desired and also alleged she wasn’t styled with the care that the other actors were.
Here’s what fans think about Dua Lipa’s Barbie look:
However, not everyone agrees with these opinions. Many think that her cheap-looking blue hair is perfect for a film set in an all-too-perfect and fake-looking world. Others speculated that Lipa’s hair and outfit reminded one of the kinds of materials used to make the actual Barbie dolls and that was the goal of the film- to make things look artificial. We will know more about the pop singer’s role in the movie when it premieres.
Barbie will be released on July 21, 2023.
