What is Barbiecore Anyway?

What is Barbiecore Anyway?

The Mattel dolls have influenced generations of kids, but when the “Barbie'' movie was teased last summer, everyone from influencers and celebs to baby boomers and Gen Zers hopped on the Barbiecore aesthetic by searching for vibrant pink outfits and accessories. After all, life is but a dream house when you’re living in Barbie land, embracing the hot pink color and the fierce, feminine attitude to go with it. Hey, Blondie! Here are a few of our favorite trends to hop on ASAP. Wear these looks to see the fan-fave flick for the third time — or just use the movie as an excuse to pop off with your everyday looks.

What Was I Made For … ?

Barbie Dunks — that’s what. (Alert Billie Eilish!) Add the grade school kids’ Nike Dunk Lows in a perfectly pink colorway to a sequined skirt and Barbie tee.

Life in Plastic, It’s Fantastic

Life in Plastic, It’s Fantastic

ive life in color by adding a pair of Hyper Pink VaporMax to your wardrobe. These lifestyle shoes not only scream “Barbiecore aesthetic” thanks in part to their inflated plastic platform, but you can add the Nike shoes to an all-pink look or elevate an everyday athleisure fit, like black leggings and a fitted tank.

But Pink Just Looks So Good on Us!

Forget the Barbie heels. Stand out (and up!) in a pair of adidas Originals mules made from smooth Adifom material. Create the perfect Barbiecore outfit with pink bike shorts, a colorful Malibu tennis tee and a crossbody bag

Sure, Ken, Jump In!

Keep the Party Running

Going to see the “Barbie” movie with your littles? Crocs are coming in clutch to help you create easy-to-wear matching Barbiecore looks. Choose from classic clogs in adult and little kids’ sizes, featuring Barbie graphics and logos. Or pop some Barbie Jibbitz charms on existing shoes. Pair them with matching pink mini skirts, white tops, jean jackets and high-wattage smiles.
