While pink outfits have been popular for some time, the hot pink hue is making a comeback with Barbiecore.&nbsp;

Barbiecore: The essence of channeling your inner <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/balmain-barbie-collaboration-nft" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Barbie</a> with <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/shopping/grapefruit-pink-outfits-fashion-style-shopping" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pink outfits</a>, pink accessories, and well, all things pink. Whether you want to throw in some fun, flirty elements, like feathers or sparkles, to make the look more dramatic, or whether you want to keep it simple, the Barbiecore aesthetic can easily be nailed. As a whole, the idea is to emulate the style of the nostalgic <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/barbie-doll-mattel-brithday-pop-culture-significance" target="_blank" rel="noopener">childhood Mattel doll </a>by playing with fun prints, pink outfits, and over-the-top girly garments.&nbsp;
While the Barbiecore trend might seem to be popping up as of late, especially with the buzz of the upcoming live-action <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/everything-we-know-about-barbie-movie-greta-gerwig-margot-robbie-ryan-gosling" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Barbie film</a> starring <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/margot-robbie-barbie-looks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Margot Robbie,</a> this trend is not new. In fact, pink outfits have provided many pivotal moments in the history of pop culture and fashion. There was <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/reese-witherspoon-iconic-roles-movies-tv-instagram-kids-daughter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Reese Witherspoon</a> in <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/elle-woods-best-quotes-legally-blonde-reese-witherspoon" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Legally Blonde</a>, sporting a <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/justin-hailey-bieber-street-style-paris" target="_blank" rel="noopener">monochromatic </a>pink leather outfit and echoing the iconic line, &ldquo;Whoever said orange was the new pink was seriously disturbed.&rdquo; The Barbiecore aesthetic showed up on the big screens again in the iconic 2004 film <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/lindsay-lohan-young-fashion-moments-movies" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mean Girls</a> starring <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/lindsay-lohan-tabloids-scandal-timeline-mugshot-paparazzi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lindsay Lohan</a> and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/early-2000s-movies-for-y2k-style-inspiration" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rachel McAdams</a>, when the high schoolers preached, &ldquo;On Wednesdays we wear pink.&rdquo; And even in 2022, with the use of bright pink in <a href="https://www.lofficielmalaysia.com/fashion-week/valentino-fall-winter-2022-runway-pink-pp-collection" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Valentino&rsquo;s</a> collections, the color has been everywhere.

Back in October 2021 for the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/kim-kardashian-host-snl-highlights-funniest-moments" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Saturday Night Live</a> afterparty, Kardashian sported a full-body pink <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/balenciaga-spring-summer-2023-collection-show-photos" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Balenciaga</a> catsuit and a matching, dramatic jacket to accessorize the look. She also wore a full-length pink <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/puffer-coats-how-to-style" target="_blank" rel="noopener">puffer coat,</a> and paired it with silver accessories to elevate the look.&nbsp;

For the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/fuschia-color-pink-red-carpet-fashion-trend-grammys-oscars" target="_blank" rel="noopener">64th Annual Grammy's, </a><a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/quavo-breaks-silence-saweetie-abuse-allegations-elevator-video" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Saweetie</a> nailed the Barbiecore aesthetic. Dazzling in a <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/upcoming-destination-fashion-shows-cruise-men-spring-2023-dior-gucci-chanel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Valentino</a> pink bra top, matching skirt, and matching gloves, Saweetie channeled <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/mattel-launching-barbie-fashion-competition-show" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Barbie's</a> style in 2022. Also in a <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/color-menswear-spring-2022-fashion-trend-bright-colors-patterns" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Valentino</a> ensemble, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/men/sebastian-stan-fresh-pam-and-tommy-bucky-barnes-marvel-rom-coms" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sebastian Stan </a>wore an all-pink outfit to the 2022 <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/what-happens-inside-met-gala-2021-seating-chart-performances" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Met Gala.</a>

And in 2022, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/megan-fox-machine-gun-kelly-best-couples-outfits" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Megan Fox </a>stepped out in a pink mini dress and matching pink heels at <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/megan-fox-machine-gun-kelly-engagement-ring-hurts-to-take-off" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Machine Gun Kelly's</a> <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/new-movies-tv-shows-stream-may-2022-netflix-hulu-hbo-max" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hulu </a>documentary premiere. With blonde hair and the simple, yet girly look, Fox captured the essence of Barbie. <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/khloe-kardashian-funny-quotes-true-thompson-malika-haqq-scott-disick-birthday" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Khlo&eacute; Kardashian </a>joined in on the Barbiecore trend, too, after slaying a latex mini dress and pink pumps for her 38th birthday.&nbsp;

And if you're really not a fan of pink, you can still participate in the trend. Opt for lighter, pastel, colors, like <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/wellness/lavender-benefits-uses-aromatherapy-skincare" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lavender</a> and light blue, and fun, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/retrofuturism-fashion-history-technology-virtual-space-age-fashion-pierre-cardin-courreges" target="_blank" rel="noopener">retro </a>prints, like <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/margot-robbie-greta-gerwig-barbie-doll-movie-filming-2022" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Margot Robbie</a> wears in the poster for the upcoming <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/margot-robbie-first-photo-greta-gerwig-barbie-movie">Barbie film</a>. It's all about channeling the essence of <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/mattel-launches-naomi-osaka-barbie-doll">Barbie.</a>
