Yes, it’s just like the song says: this summer, we’re all just a Barbie girl in a Barbie world. At least for a couple more weeks. If you’re keen to join the pink parade, read on. We’ve rounded up 14 of the best collaborations this summer perfect for channeling your inner Barbie girl, including sneakers, accessories, and more.
The past couple years Barbie has been having a moment. From Valentino pink to the new Malibu Barbie Cafe in NYC, it’s been a Barbie world. Pretty exciting for a doll that’s been around for 60+ years. And no doubt this summer, Barbiecore will hit fever pitch when the highly anticipated film starring Margot Robbie in the titular role hits theaters on July 21st.
The best collaborations to channel your inner Barbie girl.
To get ready, bands have been releasing unapologetically pink limited-edition Barbie merch – everything from fuschia colored fashions and accessories flecked with playful accents like rhinestones and charms, to Malibu beach house inspired pool floats, candles and even rugs.
For some, it may be too much, but for others you just can’t help but love the bold, positive energy that’s a bit reminiscent of childhood.
