Dua Lipa's latest photo dump includes a Barbie weekend surprise.
Yesterday, the pop star shared a series of "camera roll randoms" from her recent travels, which was filled with the traditional outfit pics and candid selfies that she often shares. Among those pics, the star also dropped a surprise behind-the-scenes pic from the highly-anticipated film's Los Angeles premiere, in which she and several members of the cast pose for a group mirror selfie in what appears to be a restroom at LA's Shrine Auditorium.
In the pic, Lipa stands off to the right next to a smiling Kate McKinnon and Issa Rae, as Margot Robbie crouches nearby and waves to the camera. Other Barbies and Kens (and two humans and an Allan) who appear in the shot include Ryan Gosling, America Ferrera, Ariana Greenblatt, Simu Liu, Michael Cera, Hari Nef, Alexandra Shipp, Kingsley Ben-Adir, and Scott Evans.

For the LA premiere earlier this month, the "Dance the Night Away" singer walked the pink carpet in a sheer crystal-embellished fishnet slipdress, custom-made by Bottega Veneta. She embraced the naked dress trend while wearing nothing but a pair of white underwear under the glittering piece, and completed the look with metallic silver pumps, sculptural silver drop earrings, a few delicate silver rings, and a platinum diamond necklace from Tiffany & Co.

Meanwhile, Robbie channeled the 1960 "Solo in the Spotlight" Barbie in one of her many excellent on-theme looks from the film's press run. Her custom Schiaparelli couture gown featured a black sequined strapless bodice and ended in a voluminous hem made of layers of inky black tulle, adorned with an embroidered red rosette. Her accessories, which were near identical to the original doll's, including black Manolo Blahnik heels, velvet opera gloves, a layered diamond choker by Lorraine Schwartz Jewelry, and a pale-pink silk mousseline scarf.
