“Whoever said orange is the new pink was seriously disturbed.”
The Barbiecore aesthetic is painting the world hot pink and I am absolutely here for it. Just a couple months away from the Margot Robbie-led Barbie movie coming out in July, a certain blonde doll’s popularity has skyrocketed off the charts. While celebrities have been decked out in shades of hot pink since the start of the year, it takes more than just a splash of fuchsia to create a Barbiecore ‘fit.
Celebs like Kim Kardashian, Lizzo, Paris Hilton, and Megan Fox have all been spotted rocking monochromatic looks that blend big femme energy with Y2K touches. On occasion, celebs have even paired Barbie’s signature color with her classic platinum blonde hair. Barbiecore colors have also taken over runway shows and red carpets, from Valentino’s Ready-to-Wear 2022 show to the Grammys. The combination of hot pink high fashion, celebrity style, and Barbie movie hype has brought us a surge of Barbiecore fashion inspo.
This hyper-pink trend is easy to style. Barbiecore is made of equal parts ‘90s and ‘00s nostalgia and, of course, Barbie’s signature color. The shades of pink may vary from bubblegum to fuchsia to neon, but the tone is usually super vibrant. Retro silhouettes and Y2K textures like crocheted fabric, metallics, and shiny vinyl have come together to deliver a megadose of Mattell’s biggest star. Ahead, you’ll find 22 accessories and clothing items that will bring the Barbiecore aesthetic to life.

Forever 21’s Barbiecore Rhinestone Heels
Forever 21 dropped an entire Barbie-inspired collection with a ton of fun prints, but these Rhinestone Block Heels are my favorite. These could easily be worn by Margot Robbie herself in the upcoming movie, and the block heels give more stability to walk in because while Barbie’s feet were made to wear heels, the same can’t be said for people.
Aerie Barbiecore Sunnies
Even without a pink convertible, Aerie’s Movin’ N Groovin’ Sunglasses are a summer Barbie must-have. The octagon shape is a spin off the classic round frames and will add a much-needed refresh to your sunnies collection.
H&M Barbiecore Ribbed Tank Top
The Barbiecore aesthetic doesn’t have to cost you a (plastic) arm or leg. H&M’s Crop Tank Top is only $10 and can seamlessly be worn from day to night.
Mango’s Pink Barbiecore Crossbody Bag
Barbie is all about her accessories, and this fuschia Crossbody Bag would fit right into her collection. The sleek exterior, gold details, and its adjustable strap make it classic and versatile.
Pink Knit Barbiecore Crop Top
Since she’s been an IT girl since ‘59, you better believe Barbie’s mastered being stylish and comfy at the same time. You can do the same with PrettyLittleThing’s Knit Crop Top. The knit fabric is super soft, but the raw hemline stays on trend.
Chain Box Barbiecore Bag
While a crossbody bag is timeless, it doesn’t get much more modern than this clear box bag, available on Amazon. The jelly, see-through look is super trendy right now and the micro bag is a celeb fave.
Mini Barbiecore Backpack
When you need to carry around a bit more than just the bare necessities, this mini backpack available on Macy’s has your back. While it’s still technically a mini, it could probably fit a water bottle and makeup bag along with your keys, phone, and wallet.

H&M’s Satin Dress is the perfect pink dress for almost any event. Throw it on with sneakers for a day of brunch and shopping or add a pair of sparkly heels for a night out.

Ruched Barbiecore Dress
Go full Barbie for a night out in Rebdolls’ Bodycon Dress. It’s machine washable, made of stretchy fabric, and comes in sizes small through 5X. The ruching makes it ideal for a night of dancing, and the one-shoulder cut is sure to stand out in the sea of spaghetti strap bodycon dresses.
Forever 21 x Barbie Lavender Hoodie

Crochet crop tops are having a moment outside of Barbiecore, but Barbie would definitely wear this crocheted top from Hollister. The knit style is both airy and cozy so you can wear it from the first day of spring to the last moments of summer.
Even Barbie has to rest once in awhile, so whether you’re getting your beauty rest or enjoying a lazy Sunday in, these cloud-soft lounge pants from Girlfriend Collective will be perfect. The wide-leg makes this pant even more comfortable, and the baby pink is a more subdued take on Barbiecore.
This flowy American Eagle romper is a Barbiecore *dream.* It can easily be worn during the day for brunch with friends to nighttime bonfires with a light sweater thrown over. The cotton fabric ensures maximum breathability on even the hottest summer days.
Try to convince me Malibu Barbie wouldn’t wear this hot pink one-piece. This universally flattering, stretchy ‘suit has a cheeky back and deep neckline for a sexy edge, whether you’re tanning in your backyard or on vacation in Tahiti.
