Ask the Experts: What Supplements Should We Really Be Taking?
And while Barbiecore has garnered a reputation for helping pink rise in popularity, we’d argue that the trend is rooted in embracing fun clothes that don’t always fit the mold of a capsule wardrobe — and that’s exactly the point. We’ve curated a list of pink babydoll minis, metallic cowboy boots, and a ton of sequined styles that take a page from the fashion book of everyone’s favorite doll.

Bronx and Banco x Revolve Neon Barbie Dress

JW Pei Gabbi Handbag
JW Pei is known for creating affordable purses that don’t skimp on quality, and the Gabbi handbag is no exception. It’s available in coral, true pink, and 27 other colors — including one with a crystallized finish that is equally as Barbie-approved as its blush counterparts. Buy for $79.99 at Amazon
Urban Outfitters Ruched Babydoll Dress
The year is 1989 and Barbie is walking down the stairs of her childhood home to make a grand entrance before riding in a limo to prom. She’s wearing this exact babydoll dress, a cute mini complete with ruching, pockets, and adjustable tie straps. Buy for $59 at Urban Outfitters
Checked Cropped Blazer + Bustier Dress
Barbie the Movie x Aqua collaborated on the ultimate summer wardrobe capsule, filled with designs that take major inspiration from the film’s costuming. Our favorites from the collection are a checked cropped blazer and bustier dress, though the fringed heart-shaped purse and scalloped tweed jacket come in close second. Buy Blazer and Dress for $118 at Bloomingdale’s
Reformation Vancouver Linen Two Piece
This sleek linen set comes with a corset tank and mini skirt, both in a vibrant hue that looks like it was plucked from Mattel dreamland. And ironically, the title of the color is Corvette — and when she’s not calling Ubers, let’s not forget that Barbie is cruising around town in a pink version of the iconic sports car. Buy for $248 at Reformation
Madewell Flex Sweetheart Tank and Skort
Sick of pink? Barbie is a fan of blue gingham, too — and this matching tank and skort set from Madewell is comfortable, cute, and crafted from a sweat-wicking material, making it ideal attire for humid summer movie releases that pay homage to Margot Robbie’s on-set wardrobe. Buy for $34.99 at Madewell
Cowboy Boots
Swap black boots for glittery metallic cowboy ones instead, adding a pop of pink to any ensemble. And aesthetics aside, reviewers swear these boots are made for walking — they’re shockingly comfortable thanks to a cushioned footbed, almond toe shape, and subtle heel. Buy for $55.99+ at Amazon
Sojos White Sunglasses
Barbie wouldn’t be caught dead wearing boring brown aviators, and neither should you. These white cat eye sunglasses are perfectly retro and come at a competitive price tag — perfect for folks who wouldn’t dare splurge on a more expensive pair. Buy for $16.99at Amazon
Mermaid Sequin Halter Mini Dress
Glitz and glam are embodied by this sequin halter neck mini, an ensemble voted most likely to be worn by Mermaid Barbie (which definitely exists, we checked). Buy for $90.40 at Nasty Gal
Larroude Gio Heels
Barbie’s feet have a naturally high arch, but for those of us born flat-footed, the Larroude Gio Heels are designed with a comfortable 2.5-inch block heel ideal for hours-long dates and dances. And if you’re craving something a bit more adventurous, these Larroude Annie platform heels come in the same funky pink color — but a 5.75-inch heel. Buy for $315 at Revolve
Out From Under Tank Dress
Consider this under-$30 dress from Urban Outfitters a staple in the wardrobe of one Malibu Barbie, who needs closet basics that are suitable for both beach and club. Bottle service awaits. Buy for $29 at Urban Outfitters
Free People Venice Beach Flare Pants
Give athleisure a Mattel ~flare~ with these Free People Venice Beach pants, a look that demands to be worn with the appropriate footwear: roller skates. These pink tartan Impalas are an exceptional option, and so are these rose gold ones. Buy for $62 at Revolve
