Dua Lipa and Fineman are Working on the upcoming Funny SNL Episode
Pop superstar Dua Lipa is preparing to play dual roles as host and musical guest on this week’s “Saturday Night Live,” with a little help from cast member Chloe Fineman.
In a new promo clip of the upcoming episode, Fineman shows the Argylle actress a “new impression” she’s been practising. The “Saturday Night Live” cast member — known for her ethereal impressions — awkwardly dances while singing her own interpretation of a verse from Dua Lipa’s 2020 hit “Levitating,” but the lyrics are all wrong.
Lipa asks who this image could be considered a copy of, to which Feynman responds, “You!” The singer then advised Fineman that perhaps she should work on her dance moves to improve it.
Next, Fineman tap dances, which doesn’t impress Lipa even more – to hilarious effect.
When the singer changes Fineman’s entire “look” to include a dark red wig to match her signature locks, the pair feel more confident… even though Fineman keeps singing the wrong song.
“Okay, that’s close enough. You’re going to end it, baby,” Lipa tells a nervous and confused Fineman. “What are you waiting for?” Fineman asks.
“I’m just going to focus on my sketches so I thought maybe you could demonstrate for me. “I’m going to get dinner,” says Lipa, who hands the mic to Fineman and leaves her alone on stage.
Dua Lipa serves as both host and musical guest on this week’s episode of the long-running sketch show, marking the first time that she has appeared as a musical guest on “SNL” in 2018 and 2020.
His new album “Radical Optimism” is scheduled to be released on Friday. Radical Optimism is an album that gives the happiness and pure joy of finding clarity in situations that once seemed impossible to cope with.
The difficult goodbyes and shaky beginnings that previously threatened to crush your spirit become milestones as you choose optimism and begin to move forward with grace through the chaos. Influenced by the energy of Dua’s hometown, London, the album’s attitude embodies the rawness, honesty, confidence and freedom of 90s Britpop.

“Saturday Night Live” airs at 11:30 p.m. On NBC. EDT/8:30 PM PDT
Dua Lipa likes to play different roles in movies
Ahead of the release of her highly anticipated third studio album Radical Optimism on May 3, Dua Lipa appeared on the cover of Time Magazine and talked about her transition into acting last year with recent films including Barbie and Argyle.

The Grammy Award winner referred to both as her “little girl role” and talked about her love of shooting and portraying characters on screen. She said, “I loved being on the set. I like the idea of playing different characters and having an assignment.
“I also love it when I go for photo shoots and can completely change my look. She also said it gives her a different persona.
“I loved being in the movie because it was so exciting to be a part of such a special thing with such an incredible cast,” Lipa told Vogue on the pink carpet ahead of the premiere of Barbie. She added, that she felt lucky to be Barbie mermaid and thanked Greta Gerwing for the role.
