Barbie is Back!

Barbie makes her long awaited comeback this summer! Margot Robbie stars as Barbie alongside her co-star, Ryan Gosling who plays Ken. Barbie and Ken go on an adventure to the outside world where fans are able to see many of their fabulous fits.

The costume designer for Barbie, Jacqueline Durran, had a sit down interview with Vogue and shared some insight into dressing this iconic character,  “The defining characteristic of what she wears is where she’s going and what she’s doing,” Durran explains. “It’s about being completely dressed for your job or task.” Durran also shares, “if Margot wears anything that we didn’t make, it’s pretty much CHANEL” who Margot has been an ambassador for since 2018.” According to Vogue, most CHANEL pieces were pulled from the fashion house archives, primarily the 1980’s. Here is a breakdown of our favorite looks!
