FYI: Spring/summer’s it-color is inspired by the Barbie movie 2023.
Do you feel like your vision has suddenly turned pink? Us too. We’re calling it the Barbiecore effect! Yes, the dolls you played with as a child are steering the fashion aesthetics right now. Talk about a true nostalgic revival.
Now that we’ve finally seen the Barbie movie (2023) trailer and have gotten a glimpse of Greta Gerwig’s fictional ‘Barbie Land’, we only want two things: Tickets to the Barbie movie (who’s not psyched to witness Ryan Gosling play Ken on the big screen and Anne Hathway and Dua Lippa’s appearances?) and sparkle and shine, barbie style.
While the first one seems hard to pull off until July 21, 2023, the date when the film’s actually releasing; we can definitely channel our inner Barbie by hopping on the Barbiecore wagon ASAP (hopefully with pink feather mules and that perfect tip-toe arch).
What Exactly Is Barbiecore?
As you may have guessed by now, the trend has EVERYTHING to do with the American Barbie girl dolls you played with as a kid.
Ever fantasized about being a Barbie girl in a Barbie world – ahem, “Barbie Land”? Well, now is the time to live that fantasy. Inspired by Mattel’s legendary fashion doll, Barbiecore is a bright, vibrant trend defined by the color hot pink, aka Barbie’s go-to shade. ((Note: the hotter the hue the better.) And although it seems like it’s about channeling the ‘pretty in pink’ glamour, there’s a lot more to this aesthetic. The Barbiecore trend is also about embracing your unapologetic feminine side, exuding confidence, and just having fun.
The Rise Of The Barbiecore Trend
Think that Greta Gerwig’s Barbie movie (2023) has all to do with the Barbiecore trend? Yes, but not exactly!
Even before the movie trailer landed, the hyper-feminine trend was already finding its way onto our social media feeds. We first witnessed this color pop up when Valentino’s creative director, Pierpaolo Piccioli, dedicated his entire A/W 2022 collection to pink (that’s 22 looks in full pink, y’all!) in collaboration with Pantone last year.
Soon after, Barbiecore pink made its presence known at last year’s Coachella, Met Gala and all the major Hollywood events. And before we knew it, all our favorite celebrities were taking over the internet and the red carpet with their flurry of fuschia.
Who’s your favorite celebrity? Throw a name, literally any name, and there are high chances that they’ve worn hot pink in the last few months. Celebs like Gigi Hadid, Florence Pugh, Hailey Bieber, Lizzo, Zendaya, Nicola Peltz-Beckham, Anne Hathaway, Kim Kardashian and Dua Lipa all took over our Instagram feeds and served some pink-on-pink lewks embracing the high-fashion Barbiecore aesthetic. And the hot pink craze is set to get only bigger this Spring/Summer, all thanks to the film’s trailer launch.
As per the media reports, ever since the Barbie movie 2023 trailer was released, there has been an unprecedented surge in online searches for ‘Barbiecore,’ ‘Barbie aesthetics,’ ‘Barbie outfit,’ ‘pink mini skirt’ and ‘hot pink accessories.’
All we can say is Barbiecore is here to SLAY!
