LuckyChap is a producer on this year’s highest-grossing film “Barbie,” which stars Robbie in the title role. Lipa portrays Mermaid Barbie in the hot-pink fantasy comedy, and her original song “Dance the Night” was also one of the breakout hits from the film’s soundtrack.
“It’s really just so exciting and such a dream to be part of such a mammoth movie. It’s unbelievable. I feel very lucky,” Lipa told Variety on the carpet. “It’s just nice to see people’s response — the whole energy behind the film, the meaning behind it, the solidarity between women. It’s been beautiful to see.”
Other celebrities that walked the red carpet include Meghan Markle, Greta Lee, Riley Keough, Sofia Carson, Emma Myers, Diane Warren, Addison Rae, Madison Bailey, Tia Mowry and more.
