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-backed black minidress, a cutout orange cover-up, and multiple tiny string bikinis.
‘If you’re testing your relationship, take him to Barbie. If you’re going on a first date, take him to Barbie. All men should see Barbie.’
At the weekend, she brought back one of her favourite trends in yet another seaside photoshoot. 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 jewellery and a sunkissed makeup look.
Many fans in the comments pointed out that red and black are the colours of the Albanian flag, which Lipa 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, 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.
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.
