Her name is Lindsay and she dances on the sand...and when she shines she really shows you all she can.

Lindsay Lohan made her music return on Tuesday, as a surprise celebrity guest performer at Duran Duran's concert at the O2 Arena in London. The 29-year-old Mean Girls actress joined the British new wave and synthpop band onstage for a performance of new track "Danceophobia" and an encore performance of their 1982 hit Rio. The actress lends her vocals on the studio recording of the former track, which is featured on Duran Duran's new album Paper Gods.

Lohan was in fantastic spirits as she sang and danced in a sparkling peacock blue crop top that tied in front, paired with matching flared pants and black platform sandals, alongside singer Simon Le Bon 57. She later changed into a glittering gold mini dress.

The actress had launched a short-lived career as a pop artist 11 years ago. She released the hit album Speak, which contained the popular single "Rumors."

 

Lohan moved to London in 2014 to appear in a production of David Mamet's play Speed-the-Plow, following years of legal turmoil in her native United States that had stalled her acting career.

The actress posed a selfie of herself before the Duran Duran concert on her Instagram page as well as a video from the show.

She also prepared accordingly...with an ice bath. Lohan is a fan of cryotherapy treatments.

"What an honour," she wrote, using the British spelling for "honor." "God works in mysterious ways."

"God Bless being a strong woman," she added. "Anyone that says different, doesn't know anything about a true struggle and how to succeed with good people around helping you. #oneday@atime."
