Dua Lipa is “recharging her crystals” after wearing some very un-Dua Lipa looks in London over the past couple of weeks.
I’m not quite sure what that means, but it might have something to do with the pop star’s recent trip to her homeland. Though she was born in London, Lipa grew up in the country of Kosovo, not far from her parents’ native Albania. Throughout her visit, which she has been documenting on Instagram, Lipa has returned to sartorial form in a variety of playful looks, including a scoop-back black minidress, a cutout orange cover-up, and multiple tiny string bikinis.
Dua Lipa Just Wore Zendaya’s Controversial Flats With a Very Un–Dua Lipa Look
You can wear only so many see-through dresses.
On July 30 she brought back one of her favorite trends in yet another seaside photo shoot. In the photos, which are certainly Mermaid Barbie–approved, Lipa posed by the water in a vibrant red crochet dress, which she wore over a black thong and paired with gold jewelry and a sunkissed makeup look. Many fans in the comments pointed out that red and black are the colors of the Albanian flag, which Lipa had featured in a previous post.

Lipa wore a similar look to the Barbie premiere earlier this month, wearing a silver chainmail dress by Bottega Veneta with nothing but a matching thong underneath.
Just a couple of days after Barbie premiered on July 21, the Greta Gerwig film scored the biggest opening weekend for a female director and became the biggest domestic opening ever for a non-superhero film or sequel, per Forbes. On July 30, Lipa revealed on her Instagram Stories that her song “Dance the Night” from the film’s soundtrack reached number one on the UK’s Big Top 40.
It truly is a Barbie World.
