Get all dolled up! 💕
Come on, Barbie, let's go... well, get ready for Halloween! We might still have some time before all of those Halloween party invites start arriving, but it's never too early to start brainstorming your next DIY Halloween costumes. And since Barbiecore has taken the world by storm thanks to the highly anticipated Barbie film, we think we have a pretty good idea of the direction we're taking our look this year. Hint: We want to get all dolled up—literally! If you've started to think pink as well, then you've come to the right spot. Here, we've curated several Barbie Halloween costumes that are just as fabulous as they are fun!
If you're wanting to copy a costume straight from the movie, there are several iconic options to choose from like a neon roller skating outfit or a pink cowgirl ensemble. Want to stick to the classics? We've found a swimsuit that looks just like the one seen on the original 1959 doll. Plus, if you're anything like us, you can't get enough of Margot Robbie's perfectly on-theme red carpet looks to promote her new role. So, of course, we've included a few pretty-in-pink outfits based on those. You can even try your hand at a Barbie doll that's still in her box. After all, life is plastic... and it's fantastic.
So, without further ado, have a very Barbie Halloween with these DIY ideas. Many of them would make great last-minute Halloween costumes. We also love the idea of grabbing your partner and making it a couples costume by going as Barbie and Ken. You can also call your girls and go as a whole collection of Barbies. Talk about a memorable group costume! And if you're wanting even more inspo, check out some other classic pop culture Halloween costumes, too.
Barbie might be venturing to the real world in her new movie, but you can take a trip to Barbie Land on October 31 when you replicate this vintage-inspired outfit straight from the big screen. We've found a pink and white gingham dress that's so similar to the original. Just pair it with pink heels then finish it off with a flower necklace and matching flower earrings.
Here's the suit that started it all! The original Mattel doll launched on March 9, 1959 wearing the black and white striped swimsuit you see above. Cool, right? Well, this is even cooler: Thanks to a collaboration between Barbie and Unique Vintage, you can grab a life-sized reproduction of the original swimwear. It boasts the same sweetheart neckline and chevron print. Don't forget the cat-eye sunglasses! And if you want a little extra coverage, just throw a cover-up on top.
If there's one thing fans of The Pioneer Woman know, it's that country can definitely be chic! This outfit from the live-action movie just proves it even further. Here's what you'll need to wrangle up your fashion-forward frontier look this Halloween: a vibrant pink vest and matching flare pants along with accessories like a pink bandana and white cowboy hat. Now you're ready to kick up your Barbie boots!
Ever since these photos of Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling on the set of the new Barbie movie came out, these neon looks have been fan favorites—and for good reason! They're just so fun! Barbie's bold and bright workout outfit is complete with a patterned unitard and biker shorts as well as a matching visor. And you can't forget about the knee and elbow pads. For this one, the more neon, the better!
We absolutely love that the stars are bringing Barbie’s dream world to life on the red (or in this case, pink) carpet. We're taking major inspo from the dazzling princess-esque ensemble that Margot Robbie pulled out in Seoul. If you want to copy it, we've found a few similar pieces like a pink sequin bodysuit, tulle skirt, and heels. Talk about pretty in pink!
Did you know that Barbie's full name is Barbara Millicent Roberts? Well, now you do! And you can make her whatever you want with this neat costume. Just slip the "limited edition" box over any trendy (and pink) outfit of your choice. It has cut out arm and leg openings for comfort. While we did include links to a few Barbie-inspired clothing items, it's fun to get creative and relive the fun of dressing up the same way you used to dress your dolls!
