Dua Lipa arrived on the red carpet for the London premiere of the new “Barbie” movie on Wednesday, covered in butterflies.
The singer, who stars as Mermaid Barbie and also sings “Dance the Night” for the film’s soundtrack, wore a colorful floral and butterfly-print beaded dress with chainlink straps from Versace. She completed her look with gladiator-style sandals with butterfly accents on the straps, also from Versace. For accessories, she added a Versace medusa medallion necklace along with a statement bracelet and butterfly-shaped rings.
Lipa’s look was from Versace’s “La Vacanza” collection, which debuted during the Cannes Film Festival this year. Versace’s creative director Donatella Versace codesigned the collection with Dua Lipa. WWD characterized the collection as a pop-colored collection recalling Versace house codes from the ’90s.

“The butterflies have a very important meaning because they remind me of my brother, because a butterfly flying is freedom and he was so into that,” Versace said to WWD. “It’s in my life because Gianni is still relevant today.”
