Barbiecore is the hottest trend of the summer; here's how to wear it
Steve Madden / Champion
It's bright, it's cheerful, and it's everything pink all the time: It's Barbiecore.
Tiktok's favorite aesthetic du jour is heavily inspired by leaked shots of Greta Gerwig's forthcoming film Barbie (set for release next summer), but it also hits all the right notes for the heatwave so many of us are living through and, for some, has a subversive feel of performing a delightfully campy version of femininity that seems apropos for 2022. All those behind-the-scenes looks at Margot Robbie's impeccable wardrobe on set have sunk their hooks in our hearts, and it's time to dress the part.
Regardless of your motivation behind dressing like the beloved plastic queen, there are plenty of ways to do it: Dye your hair, paint your nails, throw on a slinky dress – however you like it, serve it up in pink and wear it with the confidence of the 11.5-inch icon. Here are our current favorite clothes, accessories, and more to help you live the Malibu dreamhouse fantasy right now.

Barbie Hot Pink Trench Coat
Do we even need to say anything about this trench? It's one of the most stunning you'll find if pink is your thing – and it is very much ours. Even better, this coat allows rain to bead, making it the perfect rainy day coat for transitional seasons, and it comes fully lined with plenty of pockets where you can stash lipstick, your phone, your wallet, and more!

Not only is it the desired hyper-feminine color, it's also made from plastic like Barbie herself. We especially love the chunky pink chain that really sets off the tough-meets-flirty feel of this bag!

Reformation
Dixon Knit Dress
Reformation has been a brand name on everyone's lips lately since J. Lo is trotting out plenty of looks by them while on her honeymoon with Ben Affleck, but they're also holding it down with the Barbiecore trend thinks to fun little numbers like this one. We love the styling with a vintage Louis Vuitton seen here, but don't be afraid to go monochrome with our bag suggestion above!

Disco Barbies will be ready to boogie when they slip into these super-sparkly dream shoes featuring rows on rows of rhinestones. With a five-inch heel and two-inch platform, they're definitely towering for the leggy look you'll want but more stable than an equally tall stiletto.
