It’s time to rethink pink – thanks to these movie-inspired buys

Fashion

What is Barbiecore? Inspired by summer 2023’s most talked about film (out July 21), Barbiecore is the antidote to goth-girl summer and the year’s hottest, most colourful trend – that comes in various shades of pink, pink and more pink. But you knew that. In fashion, it looks a little something like this: Party Barbie sequins! Island Barbie sliders! Casj Barbie kicks! Sunnies that scream ‘She’s everything!’ – and saccharine-sweet sweats that give a side of Kenergy. It’s fantastic. 

Home and garden

Why let your wardrobe have all the fun? Whether you fancy adding some Barbie to your BBQ or you’re throwing a Barbie party for your LO (or your OH), thanks to Barbiecore 2023 it’s never been easier to pay homage to the original Queen B with homeware. Enter: Barbie’s DreamHouse – an explosion of Pepto-Bismol blankets! Bubblegum-pink towels! Pastel-pink picnic coolers! See, shells! And seat pads galore

Beauty

Can’t commit to all-hot-pink everything? Dip your toe (aka your face) into Barbiecore’s best of beauty instead. Drench yourself in pink pepper or peony-infused perfumes, potions and lotions, load up on hot pink Amplified lips, or add a pop of blush. What Would Barbie Do? All of the above, plus a smoosh of shimmer (your rosy-glow pep talk in a bottle) and some bubblegum-pink nails.
