And now, with the “Barbie” crew officially setting out on the film’s premiere tour, everyone is obsessing over the cast’s #Barbiecore outfits once again.
Although the history of the Barbie doll doesn’t necessarily align with today’s conversations around inclusive beauty, her iconic pink fashion is undeniably timeless. Who doesn’t love a pair of hot pink platform heels paired with a mini skirt?
In addition to the hype surrounding Robbie and Gosling’s roles as Barbie and Ken, Valentino’s Pink PP Collection solidified hot pink and metallic firmly back onto the high fashion scene. And now, we’re seeing it worn by celebrities on the red carpet and on their social media alike.
Celebs like Megan Fox, Kim Kardashian and Rosalia are leaning into the “Barbiecore” fashion trend. Just think Kim K’s new release of hot pink Skims, or Megan Fox’s general vibe ATM. Hot pink is everywhere, and we love it.
But how can we bring “Barbiecore” fashion into our everyday wardrobes? Well, it’s not as unattainable as it looks. We’ve picked out a number of Barbie fashion items that sit within the “Barbiecore” trend, that you could wear with items you already have, or create a whole new “Barbiecore”-inspired outfit with.
Here are a few accessible “Barbiecore” outfit items that you can add to your wardrobe right now, and jump on the fashion trend of the moment.

Alexa Mini Dress
After seeing this dress on TikToker, Ayamé, we just knew we had to include it within this edit. The Alexa Dress ($376) is in a warmer pink tone with a fluffy baby pink material across the neckline.

This hot pink By Johnny. Ora Bust Midi Dress ($140) is Barbie to its core; offering up a super feminine silhouette in bold hot pink.

These Steve Madden Julian Heel ($138.14) are very Barbie, in fact; I believe my childhood Barbie had a pair just like it. These would look great paired with hot pink pants, or leggings.
