Dua Lipa looked thoughtful on Tuesday as she arrived at a recording studio in LA.

The songstress, 27, has not released an album since her Future Nostalgia release in 2020.

But she sparked intrigue that her third and ‘really personal’ record could finally be on the way as she was spotted at the Hollywood Hills location.

The New Rules singer, who was recently revealed to be cast in the Barbie movie, turned heads in an eye-catching silk yellow shirt, which she paired with a black tie.

She showed off her enviable toned legs in a black leather skirt, while she carried a matching jacket and added Puma trainers.

She showed off her enviable toned pins and displayed her tanned complexion.

Meanwhile, she slightly pulled her raven tresses back for a half-up, half-down style and added black eyeliner for a stylish look.

Dua appeared deep in thought as she frowned slightly while getting out of the car.

Later on she was pictured with her friend and songwriter Ali Tamposi at the location, with whom she previously collaborated on her hit Break My Heart.

It comes after it was revealed Dua is set to record the theme song for the live-action Barbie film and will star as a mermaid version of the iconic doll.

Greta Gerwig’s live-action Barbie film will see Margot Robbie take on the role of the iconic doll while Ryan Gosling will star as her longtime love interest Ken.

While the news was well-received by many eager fans, some were angry the 1997 chart-topping tune Barbie Girl by Aqua wasn’t being used, while others called for Britney Spears to be the singer of the tune.

A spokeswoman for Dua declined to comment when contacted by MailOnline at the time.

As well as writing a pop anthem for the live action film, Dua is also set to star as a Barbie doll, alongside Margot as the leading version of the character.

A first-look snap shared to the Barbie movie’s official Instagram page showed Dua dressed as a mermaid version of the iconic Mattel doll, who has taken many forms.

The Levitating hitmaker showed off her incredible figure in a shimmering blue bralet and matching skirt as she embodied a mermaid.

She accessorised her sensational look with a beaded necklace and hoop earrings, while she opted for a blue eyeshadow palette.

Dua sported a vibrant blue wig which cascaded across her shoulders in glamorous waves to complete the look.

Alongside the snap, her role was revealed in a caption, which read: ‘Dua Lipa. This Barbie is a mermaid.’

Dua will star as just one version of Barbie as the iconic doll will be brought to life by an array of stars, who will each take on an aspect of the versatile character.

Sex Education’s Emma Mackey will star as a Barbie who has a ‘Nobel Prize in physics’ while Nicola Coughlan will star as a diplomat version of the doll.

Impressive: Dua Lipa has another exciting project in the works as she is set to record the theme song for the hotly-anticipated Barbie movie

With Margot leading the all-inclusive cast, Hari Nef will play a doctor version of the doll while Sharon Rooney will play a Barbie lawyer and Alexandra Shipp will be an author.

The wider cast also includes Kingsley Ben-Adir, Issa Rae, Michael Cera, Rhea Pearlman, Emerald Fennell, Scott Evans, Ritu Aryau, Jamie Demetriou and Marisa Abela.

Speculation about Dua’s involvement in the project was first teased when the official Instagram for the film was launched.

The account followed 15 people involved with the movie, including Dua, which prompted speculation that she would appear.

Her break into acting comes after Dua became a household name in 2018 when her single, One Kiss, topped charts around the world.

A year later, she won the Brit Award for Song of the Year and scooped best new artist and best dance recording prizes at the Grammys.

Last year, it was revealed she had left her management company TaP music and is now managed by her father, Dukagjin.

As well as starring in the Barbie movie, Dua will take on another acting role as she will have an undisclosed role in Matthew Vaughn’s upcoming spy thriller Argylle.
