Amongst the sea of pinks and pastels at the Barbie movie world premiere, Dua Lipa stood out from the crowd as she donned a silver crystal covered maxi dress for the event.
Rather than opting for a traditional gown, Dua, who plays Mermaid Barbie in the upcoming movie, chose to give a nod to her underwater character in a completely sheer dress, with the diamante embellishments giving it a fresh-out-of-the-water look.
Dua bared it all in the transparent chainmail dress, which was custom made for her by luxury fashion brand Bottega Veneta, choosing to wear just a crystal-covered thong and nothing else underneath the see through dress.

The hemline flared out at the knee in a traditional mermaid-style, and the simple square neckline and body skimming shape showed off her figure.
She kept her long dark hair styled in loose effortless waves and accessories to a minimum, as she finished off her look with a diamond necklace from Tiffany & Co and a pair of holographic heels.
Although her look was fit for a red – or in this case pink – carpet, fans have been desperately searching for a version of their own, and now, thanks to online fashion brand Misspap, you can bag a perfect dupe of the dress for just £70.
The Miss Joslin Premium Fishnet Diamante Maxi Dress, £70 here (was £100), comes in both black and gold versions, with the fishnet material cut into a similar silhouette to Dua’s designer version, including a square neckline and figure-hugging fit.
Whilst Dua’s reached the floor, the Misspap version of the dress stops mid-shin for a more wearable midi-length look, and has a major side split that makes it easy to walk in.
If you’re feeling daring, style yours like Dua with matching coloured underwear underneath (although we recommend a bralet if you’re planning on hitting the streets in it), or layer a simple slip dress underneath if you want a bit more coverage.
Despite its risqué style, the dress can actually be quite versatile with the right layers and accessories. Throw it over a bodysuit or bikini and pair it with cowboy boots for festival season, or layer a high neck mini dress underneath with an oversized blazer and heels for a chic evening wear ensemble.
We’re sure it won’t be long until everyone discovers the Bottega Veneta dupe, so you might want to be quick if you want to get your hands on the Miss Joslin Premium Fishnet Diamante Maxi Dress, £70 here (was £100).
