Greta Gerwig’s Barbie is one of the most anticipated films of the year. Alongside this cinematic buzz, the #Barbiecore trend has captivated A-listers, including Dua Lipa—who recently dropped the summer sensation “Dance the Night,” her song from the film’s soundtrack.
On the star-studded pink carpet on Sunday night, the pop superstar, who also makes a cameo as Mermaid Barbie in the film, wore a dazzling ensemble that left little to the imagination. Lipa’s look featured a custom- silver chainmail dress from Bottega Veneta, which was completely see-through and adorned with crystals. She completed the outfit with silver underwear, striking silver Rocket mules (also Bottega), and accessorized with Tiffany & Co. jewelry in white gold with diamonds.
Naked dressing took the fashion world by storm in 2022, and its appeal endures for fans, including Dua Lipa. Just last week Florence Pugh made headlines at the Château de Chantilly in her billowing sheer lavender Valentino gown at the brand’s couture show (along with a head-turning pink buzz cut). The transparency trend extended beyond that, with brands like Schiaparelli, Charles de Vilmorin, and Jean Paul Gaultier (guest-designed by Julien Dossena) presenting their own sheer looks at the autumn-winter 2023 couture shows.
Amidst the Barbie whirlwind, which has been filled with endless amounts of pink, the LA premiere stood out for its comparative variety. Nicki Minaj wore a sensuous powder-blue floor-length set from Alaïa, while Gal Gadot rocked a brown and white striped minidress by JW Anderson. The Haim sisters made a statement in cut-out Louis Vuitton minidresses in black and silver. Even Margot Robbie, the film’s star, ditched pink in favor of a black Schiaparelli haute couture dress.
