Lightweight wall mirror for plasterboard (with no actual brick behind!)

Does anyone have any recommendations for an extremely lightweight wall mirror, preferably round?

I have a false chimney breast pretty much exactly like the one in the attached photo, and as it's false, there's no brick/wall behind it. I really want to put a mirror above the oak beam but am mindful that it really needs to be as light as possible.

Indeed if anyone has advice on the maximum weight I should stick to with fixing things to the plasterboard, it would be gratefully received!

TIA.

You can put up mirrors on plasterboard. Use grip it fixings. We have a huge heavy mirro held up by one of these. They come with the drill bit and you can get them on Amazon

Would recommend monkeyhooks or gorilla hooks. They literally push into the wall with no tools, and hold up to 50 lbs. we've hung heavy mirrors and pictures using just 2-3 of these. They leave no holes in the walls

Yes use something like Gripit, some of the fixings can hold over 100kg . I got a kit that included the drill bit I needed and I put a big TV on a fake plasterboard chimney breast which is heavier than any mirror I own
