Dua Lipa wears completely see-through dress in mermaid-inspired look at Barbie premiere

Dua Lipa seemed to channel her character from the highly-awaited Barbie film at the world premiere over the weekend ahead of her acting debut in the project.

The singer-songwriter, 27, was among those in attendance at the event on Sunday at Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall in Los Angeles alongside her co-stars from the film.

She brought some glamour to the red carpet wearing an embellished fishnet gown that appeared to reference her character Mermaid Barbie for the special occasion.

The see-through outfit, which is said to be a custom Bottega Veneta gown, was paired with a silver thong for the premiere over the weekend.

The eye-catching outfit - which she modelled on the red carpet alongside some of her co-stars - was accompanied by a pair of silver stilettos for the event in Los Angeles.

She accessorised the revealing ensemble with some jewellery, which included her having worn an understated silver necklace and an assortment of rings for the occasion.

Dua attended the premiere alongside the likes of Margot Robbie, 33, and Ryan Gosling, 42, who lead the cast of the upcoming film, which is due to be released later this month.

Margot - who is also credited as a producer on the film - wore yet another outfit that was seemingly inspired by the iconic doll's fashion at the event in Los Angeles on Sunday.

She wore a glamorous strapless gown by Schiaparelli, that's said to have featured layers of tulle and an embroidered rose, which seemingly took inspiration from the 'solo in the spotlight' Barbie, which was first launched back in the 1960s.

The actor has modelled various looks inspired by previous versions of Barbie, as showcased on social media by stylist Andrew Mukamal. He also showcased the latest look.

Other examples of dolls that are understood to have been referenced in her outfits include 'sparkling pink' Barbie, from the 1960s, and 'totally hair' Barbie, from the 1990s.

Ryan - who plays Ken in the upcoming film, which has been directed and co-written by Greta Gerwig - posed alongside Margot whilst at the premiere over the weekend.

He was spotted on the red carpet wearing a pastel pink suit for the occasion, which the actor had chosen to accompany with a white shirt and a pair of matching white shoes.

Barbie is scheduled to be released on July 21.
