The Met Gala can eat its heart out, because the most iconic night of fashion in 2023 was actually the Barbie premiere. On July 9, the stars of the movie and tons of other celebs stepped onto the pink carpet to celebrate the world’s most famous doll in show-stopping looks.
Of course, the living Barbie herself had to recreate one of the doll’s most memorable looks. In keeping with the theme of her press tour, Margot Robbie wore a classic Barbie look on the pink carpet, recreating the “Solo in the Spotlight” Barbie doll.
Ryan Gosling was more than “just Ken” at the Barbie premiere. To fit the theme, he wore an entirely pink suit, complete with an “E” necklace as a shoutout to his partner Eva Mendes.
Days after she was revealed to be one of the mystery artists on the Barbie soundtrack, Billie Eilish showed up at the movie’s premiere in a pink shirt and matching tie. She completed the look with some cozy, plush sneakers.
The Barbie premiere wouldn’t be complete without the OG Barb. Nicki Minaj, who’s featured on the Barbie soundtrack, got dolled up in a lavender wrap skirt and matching crop top for the pink carpet.
It looked like Dua Lipa was inspired by the shimmering scales of her mermaid Barbie’s tail. She arrived at the premiere in a translucent crystal dress that sparkled in the light.
All rise for President Barbie! Issa Rae was the opposite of insecure in a sleek pink gown.
Drag Race superstar Trixie Mattel has made Barbie her brand for years, and she finally got to live out the night of her dreams by donning a ruffled pink dress at the movie’s premiere.
