Lene Nystrom, the iconic face and voice behind the 90s hit song Barbie Girl, has once again captured the hearts of her fans with her ageless beauty. Despite nearly three decades passing since Aqua's infectious Eurodance track took the world by storm, the now 50-year-old singer seems to have discovered the secret to eternal youth.
With an active presence on social media, Nystrom regularly treats her followers to glimpses of her life and work, showcasing her timeless allure. It's almost unbelievable how little she has changed over the years, remaining just as fresh-faced as she was back in her heyday. In one recent video, Nystrom gave us a behind-the-scenes look as she prepared for a shoot, reflecting on her image and sharing, "Clothing gives me strength, if I feel sexy then I feel strong. If it's too girly... I feel sexier if it's a bit rough."
Nystrom's journey to pop stardom began as a teenage model, but it was her switch to singing that would lead her to international fame. It was on a Norwegian cruise ship where she caught the eye of Danish music producer and DJ Rene Dif, who invited her to join his band Joyspeed, which would later become known as Aqua. The group, formed in Copenhagen in 1995, achieved massive success with their iconic song Barbie Girl, launching Nystrom into global superstardom.
Throughout the late 90s and early 2000s, Aqua released three albums, Aquarium in 1997, Aquarius in 2000, and Megalomania in 2011, selling a staggering 33 million albums and singles worldwide. This immense success made them the most profitable Danish band of all time. After Aqua's initial breakup, Nystrom embarked on a solo career, releasing the single Pretty Young Thing in 2004 and writing songs for popular girl group Girls Aloud, including their breakout hit No Good Advice.
Aside from her musical achievements, Nystrom's personal life has also been a topic of interest, particularly her relationships with bandmates René Dif and Søren Rasted. In 2001, she married Rasted in a Las Vegas ceremony and the couple went on to have two children, India and Billy, before divorcing in 2017.
Despite the ups and downs of her career and personal life, Lene Nystrom's enduring beauty and charisma continue to shine.
