It’s Barbie’s world, and we’re all just living in it! Ever since the Barbie movie trailer was released, fans of the doll have been waiting with bated breath and, more importantly, been obsessed with the fashion rocked by Margot Robbie. The costumes and the sets are a riot of colors, oozing the fun spirit and joy that Barbie has always spread all around the world. Ken — played by Ryan Gosling — is shown to be flaunting the most fun prints and bright hues as well. Frankly, one cannot think of anything more appropriate than Barbiecore fashion to take sartorial inspiration from this summer.
Cute crop tops and skirt sets, mini dresses, and retro-inspired looks make a part of this dreamy movie, while the ‘Kens’ are seen sporting some fabulous shirts and printed jackets and shorts. And, of course, pink is seen as the main color choice for almost every scene, marvelously mixed with pastels and bold, neon hues. For Barbie, her fearless fashion is definitely one for the books!
The Barbiecore aesthetic is all about silhouettes that range from mini dresses to fit-and-flares, including details like sparkles and feathers. Block heels, platform pumps, and fluorescent accessories make for fabulous additions to the look. It sends a message of having fun with fashion and colors, embodying liveliness and playful energy.
Designer brands that have nailed Barbiecore fashion in the past are Moschino and Balmain, presenting collections that were directly inspired by the doll. And now, if you’re feeling inspired too and want to amp up your wardrobe, you could take some styling cues from Barbie.
