Even offline, celebrities have been donning Barbie pink dresses. Aside from the numerous Barbie events during the press tour, we’ve seen an influx of stars wholeheartedly embrace the maximalist feminine theme on the streets and the red carpets. Hailey Bieber is one fashion tastemaker who recently channeled her inner Barbie, wearing a pink Anna October slip dress with ballet flats and a slouchy shoulder bag. Dua Lipa donned a pinkBottega Veneta velvet dress, while Leonie Hanne took Barbie out to play, wearing a Magda Butrym midi dress with a Chanel crossbody handbag. Even Princess Beatrice thought pink with a chic, collared shirt dress at Wimbledon this year. Don’t get us wrong, pink has been the colour of the moment for a lil while now. It all started at Valentino’s autumn/winter 2022 show, when Pier Paolo Piccioli sent models down the runway in striking fuchsia gowns and platform heels. Delicate blush and rose hues, be gone! This punky, modern take instantly shattered any girlish connotations surrounding the shade. Unsurprisingly, it didn’t take long for other designer brands to take note – Versace and Balenciaga featured all-pink lewks in ready-to-wear collections soon after. If you feel like all you’ve seen is pink dresses on your socials recently, you’re not alone. With the hotly-anticipated release of the Barbie movie just around the corner, and the premieres (complete with pink carpets, yes) for the film well underway, it feels like the shade is absolutely everywhere. Fast forward to this year and there’s now a whole load of pink dresses to choose from – whether you’re into the dusty Millennial pink or bright bubblegum shades loved by Barbie herself. It’s official: 2023 it’s all about the LPD (that's a little pink dress, if you hadn’t already guessed).
