22 pink items you need in your wardrobe to ride the Barbiecore trend

When we first got a glimpse of Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling from Greta Gerwig’s much-anticipated Barbie film, it was clear that the viral moment would translate into something more. Although the movie is slated for release only in July 2023, it seems Barbie fever has already taken over with #Barbiecore racking up millions of views on TikTok.

Almost the entirety of Valentino’s Fall/Winter 22 collection was a striking shade of pink developed in collaboration with Pantone and in February 2022, Balmain unveiled a collaboration with Barbie which included not only a range of clothes, but also a series of Barbie Pink NFTs.
