Pretty in Pink: How to Embrace the Barbiecore Trend with Stockings
It's A Barbie World!
With the highly anticipated Barbie movie hitting theaters on July 21, this is officially the summer of the hottest fashion trend right now: Barbiecore. Inspired by the beloved Barbie doll, the Barbiecore aesthetic is playful, ultra-feminine, and a celebration of all things pink and fabulous!
However, Barbie pink is anything but one-dimensional - it enthusiastically encompasses all rose-colored hues, offering endless possibilities. From vibrant magenta (Pantone’s color of 2023 just so happens to be a shade called Viva Magenta) to purplish fuchsia, pastel pink, peachy coral, and lilac-toned shades, there is a color to suit everyone. Moreover, this maximalist trend is not limited to pink - think neon brights of every color, retro silhouettes, sparkling sequins, and bold patterns. Like Barbie herself, this statement look never fails to appear polished and coordinated.
No one has showcased the full breadth of the Barbiecore trend better than the movie’s leading lady, Margot Robbie. Let’s take a look at some of her most striking Barbiecore outfits, many of which pay homage to those worn by the doll over the years:
La Vie En Rose
Barbie has been a trailblazing trendsetter since her creation in 1959 and has been referenced repeatedly by high fashion designers. Most recently, Italian fashion house Valentino thrust the eponymous aesthetic back into the spotlight with their iconic Fall 22 collection. Filling the runway with all-hot-pink ensembles, celebrities (and the world!) fell head over heels for fuchsia.
Stunning red carpet appearances by the likes of Florence Pugh, Jenny Ortega, and Zendaya showed that bubblegum-pink can be glamorous, elegant, and sophisticated. Barbiecore’s appeal also lies in its versatility - it can transform any outfit into a candy-colored fashion moment.
We have handpicked our top three Barbiecore looks, which showcase our favorite wardrobe essential - stockings.
