Let’s all be totally real with ourselves. Can we admit we’re all collectively just biding our time, slowly watching the clock tick and the calendar flip until our lives are all inevitably changed forever on July 21?
That’s the day the Barbie movie is finally unleashed into the universe of course — the day that every fiber of our beings, every cell in our bodies — will transform and evolve in a way that is both terrifying and exhilarating.
Okay, fine. Am I being dramatic re: my excitement over this summer flick? Maybe! But am I also completely justified in planning my entire summer — no, my entire 2023 — around this cinematic event? Absolutely, DUH. And with the release date soon, it’s officially time to prep.
If there's anything we've learned, it's we can be anything. And something I wanna be is a Barbie Girl living in a Barbie World this summer!
If you do too, thankfully the rules are very simple:
- Literally everyone and anyone can be a Barbie Girl.
- You must be as glamorous and fantastical as you can at all times.
- Bright colors are essential.
- Knowing how to rollerblade is obviously a nice touch.
If you’re ready to follow the rules above for the best pink and pastel-hued summer ever — here are eight Barbiecore-themed pieces from Knix to help you get started.
Think Pink With the Shocking Pink Shadow Mesh Bra
What’s a Barbiecore wardrobe without hot pink? Wireless and supportive, the mesh plunging neckline in the Shadow Mesh Bra will make you feel so unstoppable that you could go to space. Or become a doctor. Or a pizza chef. Or do any of Barbie’s other 200 careers.
Grab Something to Match — Like the Shocking Pink Shadow Mesh Leakproof High Rise
One thing Barbie definitely approves of? Wearing a coordinated, matching set. Grab matching undies in your fave Leakproof style like the High Rise, Thong, or Bikini!
Go Bold With a Pair of Leopard Print Thigh Savers
Barbie is NOT afraid of a bold print, which makes this fierce pair of Leakproof Thigh Savers an absolute summer staple. Or add a little frill with a limited edition lacy pair of Papaya Pink Thigh Savers.
Designed in collaboration with everything-pink enthusiast (and icon) The Birds Papaya, upgrade your favorite Thigh Savers with some lace this summer. Living life with your thighs intact, it’s fantastic!
Get in the Barbie Beach Blast Buggy With the Balcony Cup Bikini in Grape Pop
It doesn’t have to be all pink all the time! Make a splash with some other Barbie-approved shades, like this super cute purple bikini. You can snag the matching bottoms here too!
The Lace Longline Bra in Pink Plum Will Get Ken (or Midge’s) Attention
Super supportive, comfy and soft — the Lace Longline Bra in this delicate pink shade would get a thumb’s up from Barbie… if she could articulate her hands.
Channel Your Inner Olympic Barbie With the Amethyst Catalyst
For runs around the neighborhood, summer yoga sessions, and more, gear up with a high-impact Front Zip Catalyst (or the OG Catalyst) that would definitely be a staple in Barbie’s Dreamhouse closet.
Be Team Barbie This Summer With a Tennis Inspired Leakproof Skort
Tennis icon Naomi Osaka has her own Barbie (naturally!), and you can get the look too with this Skort. The bonus? It’s Leakproof, so you can wear your tennis whites all summer long.
Barbie Is All About Accessorizing, This Floral Tote Will Do the Trick
Plus, this Beach Tote can perfectly fit a pair of roller blades too.
