It’s Barbie’s world, and we’re all living in it.
With the release of Greta Gerwig’s live-action英航rbiemovie, the iconic Mattel doll officially has everyone in her well-manicured grips, with #Barbiecore going viral on bothTikTokandInstagramover the past year. Trending in everything from fashion and makeup to home decor,英航rbiecoreis all about channeling Barbie’s signature chic style using her trademark color: pink.
While Barbiecore fashion is pretty much drenched in pink,英航rbiecore decoris a bit more nuanced. The pinks are accompanied by other bright and cheery colors like purple, turquoise, orange, and sunshine yellow for balance. Luxe finishes, like marble and other sleek metals, can be found throughout #Barbiecore furnishings, along with glamorous fabrics like velvet, fur, and silk. The design, like the doll herself, is retro yet modern, with the aesthetic falling somewhere in between mid-century modern and Hollywood Regency with a touch of maximalism thrown in for good measure.
As has been the case over the years, trends come and go, and keeping up with the latest look can be tough to do sustainably and affordably. If you’re thinking about trying out Barbiecore in your home, though, allow me to suggest one of these 10 timeless Barbiecore pieces you won’t regret as soon as the movie leaves theaters.
