Cardi B and Lizzo Lead the Charge on Barbiecore, This Summer's Biggest Trend

While Y2K trends have been very much in style, Barbiecore takes the kitschy aesthetic one step further. This is in reference not just to the bubblegum-pink red carpet looks we've seen from the likes of Maison Valentino and Miu Miu but also, more specifically, the colorful, textural combinations that are built upon the conventional traits and characteristics of Mattel's quintessential American fashion doll. Barbie - brought to life in 1959 by Ruth Handler in a strapless, black-and-white-striped bathing suit, tiny gold hoops, and black heels - is today most synonymous with a look more akin to Reese Witherspoon as Elle Woods in "Legally Blonde."

This summer, all-pink-everything Barbiecore encourages us to embrace that same sense of fearlessness and tap into the overaccessorized, monochromatic style, with Cardi B, Lizzo, Kim Kardashian, and Dua Lipa taking the reins. From Cardi's head-to-toe Chanel outfit and Lizzo's Valentino skater dress and opera gloves to Kardashian and Lipa decked out in Balenciaga, inspiration is readily available from celebrity Instagrams. While piling on lots of pink is key, bold statement accessories such as towering platform heels, retro-shaped glasses, and gloves are not to be overlooked.

We can, in part, attribute the excitement building around this aesthetic to Greta Gerwig's highly anticipated "Barbie" movie, starring Margot Robbie and a platinum-blond Ryan Gosling. And while the movie is not set to be released until July 21, 2023, Barbiecore is already in full swing, and the film stills do it justice.

Ahead, we've compiled some of our favorite celebrity Barbiecore takes to date.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
