It’s the movie everyone’s talking about…
…and the fashion trend everyone’s following.
The star-studded pink wonderland that is the Barbie® movie is taking the world by storm. Head to the cinema, you’ll notice nothing but shades of rose, salmon and fuchsia as now-grown-up girls and boys queue to see their once-favourite toys in action on the big screen.
The BrandAlley HQ is no different – we’re no longer sticking to “On Wednesdays We Wear Pink”, every day has been a pink party. That’s why we’ve put together the below edit – and as it’s summer, we found it fitting to collate our best Barbie®-Core pieces to wear to the beach. Find splashes of pink alongside serious sparkle, as well as Barbie®’s signature cat-eye shades.
The Swimsuit
We’re sure Barbie® would approve of American swimwear label, Melissa Odabash. Her designs are fun, flattering and effortlessly glam, in shades of hot pink and pastel blue.
And let’s not forget this vintage-inspired check bikini from Heidi Klein – it’s identical to a number worn by Barbie® in the 60s!
Pink Maldives Gingham Bikini Top – Heidi Klein – £50
Pink Capri Checked Bikini Bottoms – Heidi Klein – £42
The Shoes
We could seriously picture Barbie® in these Melissa sliders, not only for the playful daisy detailing, but the sky-blue Melflex® backdrop (that smells like bubblegum, FYI).
Flat foot – ahhhhh!!
Ok, so these picks are more beach party than beach stroll, designed to add a dose of fabulousness to any holiday outfit.
The Bag
No Barbie® beach look is complete without the perfect bag. Check out these better-arm-candy-than-Ken styles from Guillia Massari, Kate Spade, Radley & Aspinal of London.
The Jewellery
We think the below jewellery picks have a princess-like quality – “There’s a princess in every girl“, after all!
The Sunglasses
Now for the pièce de résistance of your Barbie® beach look – the sunglasses! We’ve gone for bold, cat-eye Valentinos – similar to those worn by the first ever Barbie® doll.
Valentino Sunglasses 46mm – £149
