British pop sensation Dua Lipa made heads turn as she graced the pink carpet at the UK premiere of Barbie in London on Wednesday.
The 27-year-old hitmaker radiated elegance and glamour in a multi-coloured, sheer rhinestone gown that captured the sparkle of the evening.
Dua didn't shy away from making a bold style statement with a plunging neckline, elevating her look with an audacious choker and matching earrings. Her radiant look under the spotlight was the perfect testament to her star status in the music industry.
But her association with the film goes beyond her appearance at the premiere. Dua has lent her voice to the iconic Mermaid Barbie in this highly-anticipated fantasy comedy, set to hit theatres on July 21.

She also brought her distinctive musical flair to the Barbie soundtrack, creating the infectious lead single Dance The Night, which was officially released on May 25.
Despite the global acclaim and success she enjoys, Dua remains grounded, attributing her down-to-earth personality to her close-knit circle of friends and family.
"My friends and family keep me extremely grounded," she told Fearne Cotton on the Happy Place podcast. "I can sit at a table, and I'm not the most important one, and I never want to be."
Dua went on to share how she cherishes her normality amidst her extraordinary career. "I have friends around all the time – they'll ignore me in my own house. That's exactly where I want to be – this is perfect. My job is extraordinary, but I like to think of my life as normal," she added.
But this sense of normality wasn't easy to come by. Initially, the sudden fame took a toll on Dua's daily life.
"I didn't understand why there was all this attention," she confesses. "I didn't want to leave the house if I wasn't wearing makeup, in case the paparazzi would get a picture. Those things would work me up, and it stopped me from doing things I really loved."
