Starring Margot Robbie as Barbie and Ryan Gosling as Ken, Barbie is available to stream on Max and on sale when you buy it on digital at Prime Video. Those who still can’t get enough of Barbiecore pink — which was noticeably absent at the 96th Academy Awards — can shop the official Barbie: The World Tour book (out April 19) featuring Robbie and stylist Andrew Mukamal’s press tour looks inspired by the Mattel doll.

At the 2024 Oscars, Gosling gave a bedazzled performance of “I’m Just Ken,” complete with a crystal-embellished pink suit and black sunglasses (both by Gucci) and a custom Stetson 10X Shasta cowboy hat. The Some Like It Hot-inspired showcase included appearances by Barbie stars Simu Liu, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Ncuti Gatwa and more of the Kens, who all wore black Stetson Corral hats. (The tune was also nominated for best original song.)

Barbie is also available on Max in American Sign Language featuring ASL performer Leila Hanaumi. Max hosted a special community screening to celebrate the release on Dec. 14, 2023, with Robbie in collaboration with Tony-winning nonprofit, Deaf West Theatre, and advocacy organization, RespectAbility.

Long before Barbie premiered in July 2023, it spawned countless fashion and beauty collaborations, and Airbnb brought back its Malibu DreamHouse (with a Kenergy makeover) to celebrate the movie.

The fashion world immediately embraced Barbiecore a year before the movie even landed in theaters, with designers including Valentino creating bold pink looks for its Fall/Winter 2022 Pink PP collection. During the Barbie press tour in Los Angeles, Sydney, Seoul, Mexico City and London, Gerwig and her stars sported their best beyond-Barbie Land looks on the pink carpet. On set, Robbie enacted a weekly “pink day” where she would collect fines (which were donated to charity) from those who failed to wear something in the film’s signature color.

Warner Bros. Discovery ceo David Zaslav previously said in an Aug. 3, 2023 earnings call that the film will be put through the standard theatrical release window. “Take it through these windows of economics that have worked forever, and we think work extremely well, and then put it on Max,” he said. “When [Barbie] goes on Max, we think it will have a very good impact, and that will be in the fall.”
