It’s Barbie’s world, and we’re just living (and shopping) in it.

Barbie-mania has fully taken over ahead of the Greta Gerwig–helmed, Margot Robbie–starring film’s official release—so much so, moviegoers are carefully planning what to wear when they head to theaters this Friday. While we can’t divulge everything that happens in the highly anticipated movie, we can say that Barbie will certainly strike a chord with adult women—even more so than with young girls. Further, the film serves as a moment to be carefree at the theater and with our personal style. Embrace pink! Wear feathers! Bring out the ultrafeminine accessories! If there’s ever been a time to simply have fun at the movies again—beyond simply wearing a screen-printed Team Edward or Team Jacob tee—this is it.

Below, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite products that embrace the multifaceted layers of Barbie style while also allowing you to, well, look like an adult. Featuring pieces from Christopher John Rogers, Loewe, Mara Hoffman, Gucci and more, this list includes a Barbie moment for everyone that will last beyond the premiere.

Quiet luxury, but make it pink. For the more minimally inclined Barbie fan, opting for high-quality basics like the cult-status Loewe tank top, bright magenta Christopher John Rogers trousers, and classic wedge heels courtesy of Amina Muaddi will result in a classic (but still festive!) look. A charm-embellished chain necklace from Missoma (actually worn by actress Alexandra Shipp in the film) deliver the perfect finishing pop of color.

2023 has been the year of the ballet flat’s big comeback, which makes it a no-brainer component to incorporate into your Barbiecore look. Accentuate this leather lace-up pair from Tory Burch with a festive boa-trimmed top from the Attico, a classic matching denim skirt from DL1961, and a pastel trunk bag from Brandon Blackwood.

She’s not just a regular Barbie—she’s a cool Barbie. Juxtapose a sweet, baby-pink dress with edgy denim (like these barrel leg jeans from EB Denim), feather-trimmed Larroudé kitten heels, and a mini Gucci bag.

Spanish designer Paloma Wool makes the best summertime pieces. Her fuchsia abstract-print top and matching midi skirt are no exception. Pair with funky jelly sandals from Charles & Keith and a metallic Puppets and Puppets purse to complete the look.

Keep cool on your way to the theater in this organic cotton crop top and midi skirt number from Mara Hoffman. Made-in-Spain espadrilles from J.Crew and a roomy woven tote bag from Loeffler Randall (perfect for sneaking in movie snacks) bring the final look together.
