DUA LIPA had a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it appearance in summer film smash Barbie.

But this eye-popping photo from her new movie Argylle proves there will be no avoiding her this time.

Can you see who it is? Dua Lipa is almost unrecognisable in new movie Argylle, here with Henry Cavill

The trailer for the spy comedy was released yesterday and shows her with blonde hair in a dazzling gold dress.

In the opening scenes, she tells Henry Cavill’s character: “I certainly hope you dance as well as you dress.”

He replies: “There’s only one way to find out,” and lifts her up as she does the splits.

Other scenes show her firing a gun from a motorbike, which she is then hauled off by John Cena.

The movie centres around an espionage author, played by Bryce Dallas Howard, whose plots begin to mirror the actions of real-life spy organisations, dragging her into the world she writes about.

But it won’t hit cinemas until February 2, so there is still a while to wait.

Of getting into acting, Dua said last year: “I think for me it’s like baby steps.

“My biggest fear would be taking on a really big role and being, like, ‘F***, now I have to be an actor and feel these emotions and feelings on camera,’ when I haven’t, you know, brought myself up to that point yet.”

KYLIE JENNER showed her boyfriend Timothee Chalamet just what he was missing in this striking red dress.

The actor stayed back at the hotel as his other half stole the show in this skin-tight outfit, which she wore on the front row of Acne Studio’s womenswear show as part of Paris Fashion Week.

Jenner paired the dress with large shades and was spotted having a laugh at the event on Wednesday night while sitting with Spanish singer Rosalia.

But it was a British guest who appeared to get her excited as she left the show.

A video shared online showed her excitedly yelling “I love you, call me” at English presenter and influencer Amelia Dimoldenberg, who is best known for her Chicken Shop Date interview series on YouTube.

Joking about the exchange on TikTok, Amelia asked: “Does anyone have her number?”

Paul gets heavy after Patrol exit

FORMER SNOW PATROL bassist Paul Wilson quit the group to pursue a solo career in metal.

The rocker announced his departure earlier this month and has said it was to launch a new music project called Above As Below.

He said: “It’s quite a tough decision to walk away from a huge entity like Snow Patrol.

“But my priorities shifted so much.

“I’ve done Bon Iver-style stuff, and I thought, ‘This isn’t good enough’.

“I was like, ‘Wait a minute, I love metal mostly.’

“Heavier music is what I have listened to.”

Paul also reflected on the dramatic departure of fellow bandmate, drummer Jonny Quinn, which was followed by his wife Mariane badmouthing guitarist Johnny McDaid online.

Paul told Rolling Stone: “I don’t really know what went down, but I’m guessing there were creative differences in the studio. I can’t imagine it was anything too crazy.

“I don’t have any ill feelings towards the guys.”

Sad Bambi scene has soft switch

DISNEY is softening its new Bambi remake after the original was deemed too upsetting.

The 1942 version showed the death of the deer’s mum – and now bosses believe it could be traumatic for children today.

Lindsey Beer, who has written for the film, said of the new treatment of the mum dying: “I think some parents these days are more sensitive about it than they were in the past.

“And I think that’s one of the reasons they haven’t shown it to their children.

“But I do think that there is a way to update Bambi.

“And our take on it did give a little bit more of a scope to it.

“ I just think that to be able to bring it to life for kids these days, in a way that maybe they relate to a little bit more, would be of service to the original.”

BILLIE EILISH has been struggling with feelings of “impending doom” about fame.

After becoming a global name as a teen, she is only now starting to cope with the attention.

Billie said: “I’ve not been doing so great, to be honest.

“I have impending-doom feelings most of the day. When I think too much about it, how I can never have privacy again, it’s enough to make you want to do all sorts of crazy things. But you have to let it go.”

That wasn’t helped by her split from rocker Jesse Rutherford in May – and she suggests that she now has higher standards.

She added in a cover story for Allure magazine: “I have settled many times with things and people and life. I’ve settled for less than I deserved and I’m not going to do that any more.”

James: My baby KO’d egomania

JAMES ARTHUR reckons becoming a dad has finally seen off his ego.

The Say You Won’t Let Go singer, whose daughter Emily was born in November, is gearing up to release his fifth album Bitter Sweet Love in January.

And he believes it is much better because he is a father.

During a Q&A in London on Wednesday night, he said: “My perspective changed when I became a dad.

“I’ve been on this selfish, self-indulgent pursuit for validation and recognition for my music. Like, why don’t people give me my flowers? And all that kind of stuff.

“When you have a kid, you have a bit of an ego death, like, what are you doing? It’s silly to care so much about external things from people who don’t care about you.”

James, who will drop a new single from the record, Just Us, next Friday, added: “It’s been good for me as someone who has been on a self-absorbed pursuit.”

He teased fans may think he sounds different on the album and the reason behind that is making it tricky for him to perform the songs.

James, below, explained he had just completed a US tour when he went into the studio and his voice was “shot” – meaning some tracks are much lower than he usually sings.

He explained: “That’s why I’m struggling with some of the keys.

“My voice is normally higher than some of the records that I recorded.

“A lot of these songs are recorded in an octave that is a bit more comfortable. Then when you get that adrenaline dump, it’s like, ‘F***, this should be two keys higher than it is,’ so it requires a lot more control than you’d want to be exercising during something as intense as this.”

I’m sure he’ll have it together in time for his sold out tour of the UK and Ireland next March.

U2 are back with a new single called Atomic City to celebrate the launch of their Las Vegas residency tonight.

The group will play the first of 25 shows at Sphere in Sin City and have dropped the song as a homage to Seventies post-punk music.

Jax Jones has also released a single, called Won’t Forget You, while Raye has jumped on a new version of K-pop group Aespa’s song Better Things, following their headline show at London’s O2 Arena last night.

There are plenty of new albums to get your ears around this weekend, too.

British soul favourite Beverley Knight’s first album for seven years, The Fifth Chapter, is out, as is American singer-songwriter LP’s record Love Lines.

And there are debuts from UK’s Eurovision entry Mae Muller, called Sorry I’m Late, and dance star Karen Harding with Take Me Somewhere.

Sob Story for Kylie gig crowd

KYLIE MINOGUE was moved to tears during an intimate show.

She played the O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire in London on Wednesday, her first time performing there for 25 years.

After singing track Story from her new album Tension for the first time, Kylie turned away from the crowd and said: “I’m gonna cry now.

“I can get emotional in these moments, full stop. But when it’s a new song, it’s that song . . .  forget it. I’ve got a sparkle in the eyes.”

The show was a one-off for Virgin Media O2 Priority customers but also attracted celebrities including Louise Redknapp, Alison Hammond, Michelle Visage, Rylan Clark, Kimberley Walsh, Alex Scott and Graham Norton.
