Schiaparelli Mermaid Gown: Surreal Glamour on the Golden Globes Red Carpet

Upon arriving at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles, the award-winning singer-songwriter stepped onto the red carpet in a show-stopping creation from the renowned Schiaparelli by Daniel Roseberry.

The strapless, black velvet gown hugged her figure before gracefully flaring into a mermaid silhouette, reminiscent of her role in the 2023 blockbuster Barbie film.

Her custom-made bustier dress featured a lace-up back and a touch of signature Schiaparelli surrealism. The gown, crafted with diamonds and gold, was adorned with an embroidered gilded bone design, which beautifully complemented her archival accessories.

Vintage Tiffany & Co. Necklace: Archival Jewelry From 1962

Styled by Lorenzo Posocco, the FNAA Collection of the Year Awardee reached into the Tiffany & Co. vault for accessories, choosing a wreath-like archival necklace from 1962.

The necklace, inlaid with yellow beryl, topaz quartz, and round-cut diamonds set in gold and platinum, showcased two large briolette-cut stones hanging off the end.

She also adorned a ring from Tiffany’s, featuring a large, unenhanced yellow sapphire surrounded by a halo of diamonds.

Golden Globe Nomination: “Dance The Night” Competes for Best Original Song

The significance of the evening extended beyond Dua Lipa’s fashion choices. Her summer anthem “Dance The Night” from Barbie earned her (and her collaborators) a coveted nomination for Best Original Song for a Motion Picture.

Among the trio of nominated songs from the award-winning film, she competed with Billie Eilish’s “What Was I Made For” and Ryan Gosling’s “I’m Just Ken.”

Lipa also contended against formidable tracks like Bruce Springsteen’s “Addicted to Romance” from She Came To Me, Lenny Kravitz’s “Road to Freedom” from Rustin, and Jack Black’s “Peaches” from The Super Mario Bros. Movie.

Upon announcing this year’s nominations, Dua Lipa took to Instagram with a post brimming with exclamation points.

The celebratory post not only featured a still from the film showcasing her role as a pink-haired mermaid but also provided a glimpse behind the scenes of the movie’s production, complete with a cameo appearance from her co-star John Cena.

“Wow, waking up a Golden Globe nomineeeeeee!!!” she exclaimed alongside the photos.

Expressing gratitude, Lipa added, “This barbie is so grateful! So happy I get to share this moment with my collaborators for our song “Dance The Night” @carolineailin @iammarkronson @wyattish and so much love to the Greta, Noah, Margot and Ryan on their much deserved nominations!!! Let’s go Barbie!!!”

The “Dance the Night” nomination adds another feather to Dua Lipa’s cap, bringing her one step closer to EGOT status after already securing three Grammy Awards.
