Hot pink paired with glitter, sequins, high heels and even matching magenta makeup is hot right now. Barbiecore, the bubbly fashion trend inspired by Mattel’s ubiquitous doll, surfaced in 2022 in the wake of bright, beachy images of Margo Robbie and Ryan Gosling filming the upcoming Barbie movie and was fueled further by TikTok.
Robbie will star as the titular Barbie and Gosling as her faithful Ken in the live-action film being written and directed by Greta Gerwig. And while the movie isn’t going to be released until July 21, 2023, the Barbiecore fashion fad it set off is ready for you now.
As you can see in the sneak peek released by Warner Bros. Pictures on Twitter, Robbie’s Barbie girl is surrounded by a hot pink Barbie world.

Some coverage has compared the bold pink Barbiecore clothing trend to a panacea following the dark days of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“In the early stages of the pandemic, people would say there’s always a renaissance after a moment like this,” author Gianluca Russo told USA Today. “This is the fashion renaissance happening: this very fast pivot from the dark era to something that’s bright and youthful and colorful.”
Whatever the origin, celebrities and models on runways have been spotted wearing the vivid color trend, whether it’s trench coats, mini skirts, pantsuits or cocktail dresses. Here’s Anne Hathaway rocking (and pioneering) the trend at the Valentino The Beginning fashion show in spring 2022.

Other celebrities seen wearing different versions of Barbiecore have included Zoey Deutch, Hwasa, Simone Ashley, Kim Kardashian and Zendaya. A daring Dua Lipa and always amazing Lizzo were also singled out for their Barbiecore Valentino ensembles. Guys have gotten in on the trend too.
