People Are Dragging Dua Lipa's Mermaid Barbie Wig, But It 100% Makes Sense Why It Looks So Bad

They really thought of everything.

I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir, but if you somehow didn't know, Dua Lipa is in the Barbie movie.

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.
