Our Top Outfit Picks from Zara to Channel the Barbiecore Aesthetic

C’mon Barbie, let’s go party! When Warner Bros. Pictures announced that they’ll be releasing a live-action Barbie movie, a lot of people were hyped. Of course, who wouldn’t know Mattel’s famous doll line, right? Directed by Greta Gerwig, the film is slated for a theatrical release in July 2023. Margot Robbie will play the role of Barbie along with Ryan Gosling who will be Barbie’s boyfriend, Ken.

While we eagerly wait for the movie’s premiere, a fashion trend is picking up inspired by our favourite doll — Barbiecore. This all-pink craze has encouraged many people, including celebrities, to model a brighter and bolder shade of pink. Want to add some in your wardrobe as well? Here are some of our top outfit picks so you can channel this aesthetic.
