Barbie-Core Style
What Are We Wearing?
The highly anticipated Barbie movie premier is here, and I am feeling inspired by all the fashion and unique pink carpet looks! I have curated some pieces and how-to style them so you can work this sweet trend into your wardrobe for a little Barbie feel without overdoing it.
A small pop of pink is a great place to start. Style a Barbie-pink-toned purse or bag with a summery look. There are some beautiful options to go with right now in various pinks, from light to bright to dark. A Barbie-core bag is a great accompaniment to a black gown or a casual denim look. Up your shoe game with a magenta ballet flat or a fun sandal in an unexpected shade of pink. Don’t be afraid to add a bright shoe to a basic look in neutral tones like white, black, beige, and denim - even gray works with this trend. Keep the focus on the shoe and style these muted tones around it.
Step into this trend with a chic, bold pink dress or gown. A playful minidress dress in magenta or a long gown in an enchanting shade of pink is a fun choice for a daytime wedding or charity event. If all-over pink doesn’t speak to you, maybe a sleek, sexy black sequin dress, like we saw on Margot Robbie at the premiere, will do. Her custom Schiaparelli look was unforgettable in its retro design and body-hugging silhouette.
A soft and sweet cardigan or pink blazer is another fabulous way to play on the Barbie-core trend—style with denim or white jeans to tone down the boldness and keep it casual. Or, throw it over your shoulders with a black sheath dress or white cotton poplin maxidress. A tailored pink trouser is also fun for a workday or event, styled with a white blouse and a patent leather black sandal or pump to keep it sharp but with some flair.
