After the last several years, 'Barbiecore' is a much-welcomed mood-booster that has been brought to life once again by Margot Robbie who plays the title character in the eagerly awaited film, which is directed by Greta Gerwig and features a star-studded cast that includes Ryan Gosling, Will Ferrell, Issa Rae, Helen Mirren, and John Cena.

To get into the 'Barbie World' let's start with the one colour that perfectly captures Barbicore's spirit. opt for a hot shade of pink.  Barbiecore is also about embracing hyperfemininity and breaking gendered rules historically attached to the colour pink! You can get into the Y2K nostalgia and play around with brilliant colours, especially the doll's iconic hot pink. It only makes sense that this '80s-inspired, bold pink look is taking centre stage as the 'it' style of the summer given that many people yearn for simpler, brighter, and more carefree days.

Tiny dresses and petite fit-and-flares are among the silhouettes, while feathers and sparkles can be seen among the details. When it comes to accessorizing, chunky shoes come in a variety of heights, from jelly block heels to ultra-high pumps. Plastic hair clips and other colourful accessories such as bracelets are also wonderful accents.
