Dua Lipa channels her inner disco diva in the new music video for her single Dance The Night
Even in Barbieland, three-time Grammy winner Dua Lipa is one of the biggest pop stars in the world.
On Thursday, the 27-year-old English singer showed off her incredible moves and gorgeous voice in the new music video for her track, Dance The Night, which took place in Greta Gerwig’s new film based on the famed Mattel pop franchise.
When she arrived on set, the Levitating hitmaker was given new choreography, which she immediately picked up on, before a huge disco ball crashed onto the dance floor.
Without missing a beat, she slipped into a shiny pink bodysuit with a halter top and miniskirt, and started dancing with some backup dancers.
Glimpses of her costars, Margot Robbie, Issa Rae and Emma Mackey, who all play Barbie dolls, also made cameos in the video dancing in shimmering colors.
