Barbicore dressing has been flooding our social media feeds over the past couple of weeks, thanks to the massive hit that is the Barbie movie. Everyone, from celebrities and influencers to our circle of friends, has been embracing Barbie’s playful and vibrant aesthetic - and we’re 100% here for it. 

Embodying the essence of Barbie, Barbiecore outfits exude a mix of femininity and nostalgia, featuring 50 shades of pink, fun prints and girly silhouettes. From statement mini dresses to chic co-ord sets, here are some tips on how to nail the Barbiecore aesthetic with confidence - as demonstrated by our favourite local celebrities. 

Joanne Peh

1/8

You can never go wrong with a hot pink co-ord set. We love this crop top + straight-leg pant combo on Joanne Peh, which she paired with a pink Chanel crossbody. We also like how she complemented the look with softly curled waist-length hair. Barbie would approve!

Sheila Sim

2/8

Barbiecore isn’t just about frilly dresses. Do it like Sheila, who chose a borrowed-from-the-boys fit in distressed denim - in baby pink, of course.

Tay Ying

3/8

There’s no subtlety when it comes to Barbiecore. Case in point: Tay Ying’s take on Poolside Barbie, which has Barbie spelt out in diamanté all over her top and emblazoned on her gold hoop earrings.

Preetipls

4/8

This Barbie chose the perfect backdrop for her OOTD. When capturing your Barbiecore fit, remember to complement it with an equally pink backdrop and props, almost as if you’re in Barbieland! By the way, peep Preetipls’ manicure and phone case, which are super on point with the whole pink theme.

Tasha Low

5/8

While all-pink everything seems to be the default when it comes to Barbiecore, Barbie herself isn’t necessarily in pink all the time. Here, Tasha paired a pink cowboy hat and baby tee with blue denim - and still exuded Barbie vibes.

Iman Fandi

6/8

One easy way to achieve a Barbiecore look? A hot pink mini dress. We like how Iman Fandi kept her accessories simple and minimal so that the statement dress can do all the talking.

Kim Lim

7/8

Who can forget Kim’s outfit for her Kandy Karnival birthday celebration last year? The beauty mogul looked like a real-life Barbie with a pink ensemble, which she paired with heels, a high half-ponytail, and flawless makeup.

Jasmine Sim

8/8

This Barbie looks expensive. The best detail on this three-piece set worn by Jasmine has got the be the bows at the back of her peplum top, which is the perfect embodiment of the unapologetic girliness that is Barbiecore dressing.
