Dua Lipa announces role as mermaid

Dua Lipa announced to her 87.7 million followers Tuesday that she would be appearing in the ‘Barbie’ movies as a mermaid, posting a photo of herself in the role of a mermaid, with long, flowing blue hair, a blue top and matching fins, set against a sparkling purple background.

“This Barbie is a mermaid!!” Lipa wrote in the caption. “#BarbieTheMovie @barbiethemovie.”

The Barbie verified account responded in the comments, “It’s gonna be a splash.”

“I’m making this my entire personality,” someone else wrote in the comments.

“You are humble my girl,” another fan wrote in Spanish. “God bless you.”

The ‘Barbie’ movie trailer

The ‘Barbie’ movie official Instagram account has posted several posters, along with a trailer for the upcoming film.

The trailer portrays Barbie heading to the beach where she encounters Ken and several other friends, who all vie for her attention, and driving through the Barbieland streets in her pink convertible waving enthusiastically at passerby.

Later in the video, Barbie encounters some obstacles while driving, after which she looks back to see Ken in the backseat.

“What are you doing!” Barbie demands.

“I’m going with you,” Ken responded confidently.

Barbie sighs and turns away. “Did you bring your rollerblades?”

Ken retrieves a giant pair of yellow rollerblades from the seat beside him.

“I literally go nowhere without them,” he says.
