People Are Dragging Dua Lipa's Mermaid Barbie Wig, But It 100% Makes Sense Why It Looks So Bad
I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir, but if you somehow didn't know, Dua Lipa is in the Barbie movie.
Dua plays a mermaid Barbie, and a few weeks ago, her character poster was revealed:

Immediately, everyone had something to say about the wig.
It was the talk of the town!
And now a new wig is in the spotlight: this pink one.

"They ran out of the costume budget right before getting to her wig," another said.

But if you took a second to think about it, it all makes sense.
The Mermaid Barbie had notoriously bad wigs.
It’s really weird to see people get extra weird about how “cheap” the wigs on Dua Lipa look for Mermaid Barbie, when literally all the Mermaid Barbies I’ve seen look like this: pic.twitter.com/O9ziaod7ng

"Everyone saying Dua Lipa's wig looks bad but it's actually on purpose cause you see the actual mermaid doll's hair was really bad," this person said.

And yeah, if you go to eBay and look up "mermaid doll," you'll find plenty of shitty wigs.
They really thought of everything.
