Dua Lipa temporarily turns blonde for new film ‘Argylle’

Dua Lipa tests life as a blonde for her new film Argylle.

The 28-year-old singer showed off a major – and temporary – hair transformation via Instagram on Tuesday, January 2. “Hair and makeup test for @argyllemovie,” Lipa captioned the social media post, tagging the upcoming film, which also stars Henry Cavill, Bryce Dallas Howard Samuel L Jackson, Johannes Cena and more big names. (The film follows an introverted author of spy novels who becomes involved with a sinister underground group.)

In the photos, Lipa appeared on set in a glamorous chair, wearing a shaggy platinum wig. The bright hairstyle was parted to the side and featured frayed locks. Lipa also wore a full face, including sparkling blue eyeshadow, rosy cheeks and a glossy lip.

Lipa’s short-term makeover comes after she unveiled a real renewal in October 2023. After years with a jet black mane, Lipa had her locks colored red.

Since then, she has shown off her crimson attire on a number of red carpets, including The Hollywood Reporter’s Women in Entertainment Celebration and the third annual Academy Museum Gala in December 2023, as well as the Variety Power of Women event and the 2023 GQ Men of the Year party in November 2023.

Lipa’s red hair makeover also heralded a new era for the pop star as she is expected to release her third studio album following the release of her latest single ‘Houdini’.

She teased the project at Variety Power of Women, to a reporter, “There’s definitely more music on the way. Right now I’m in the ‘Houdini’ world. I’m just really happy that I finally signed to release new music. … I’m just really happy and ready to start this next chapter.”

Lipa released her second album, Future nostalgiain March 2020, followed by the Future nostalgia world tour which ran from February 2022 to November 2022.
