However, not everyone agrees with these opinions. Many think that her cheap-looking blue hair is perfect for a film set in an all-too-perfect and fake-looking world. Others speculated that Lipa’s hair and outfit reminded one of the kinds of materials used to make the actual Barbie dolls and that was the goal of the film- to make things look artificial. We will know more about the pop singer’s role in the movie when it premieres.
