All Of This Summer’s ‘Barbie’ Collabs, From The Sensible To The Absurd
Barbie is the most in-demand brand partner of the season.
As we near the release of Barbie on July 21, the ongoing deluge of excitement and information about the movie shows no sign of slowing down. We’ve seen Margot Robbie’s pink Vogue cover. We’ve heard Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice’s new song from the soundtrack. We’ve been swooning over Ryan Gosling’s very existence (and new blonde highlights). While all this should satisfy our appetite for all things Barbie, some might be left craving something a little more tangible. After all, Barbie fans are some of the most well-known collectors for a reason. With Barbiecore fashion and beauty already dominating the past few trend cycles, it is high time that the style icon herself gets in on the action. Thankfully, there’s been a sudden spike in Barbie-branded products in all shades of pink across wildly different categories. It’s a Barbie world, and we’re just living in it!
From the logical brand partners making bedazzled hair accessories and cute clothes to the more unusual (but fun!) partnerships pink-ifying drinks, toothpaste, and more, here are 22 Barbie & friends collaborations that will help you get ready for the doll days of summer. And keep checking back here for more as Barbie Girl Summer continues.
