The Best Fashion Moments From The Barbie Movie Trailer
The fashion doll comes to life sooner than you think in the fictional Barbie Land…
Barbie, Greta Gerwig’s live-action retelling is finally here, and fashion enthusiasts are rejoicing as the iconic fashion doll will be brought to life by Australian actor Margot Robbie and numerous others.
Apart from the show-stealing moments that were a part of the electrifying two-minute-long trailer, we spotted bubbly and vibrant ensembles throughout the clip, giving us a sneak peek into the complex world-building for the project.
For Barbie, Greta joined hands with a previous collaborator that she worked with on Little Women, the Oscar-winning British costume designer Jacqueline Durran, who is known for her incredible contributions to the wardrobes of Pride & Prejudice, Atonement, Anna Karenina, Spencer, and other award-winning films, making her an ideal choice to pay homage to the stylish doll.
As fans are embracing childhood nostalgia and waiting eagerly for the film to hit the screens, we can’t help but obsess over the best fashion moments from the Barbie trailer. Bazaar Arabia puts together the best fashion moments from the Barbie trailer…
The Best Fashion Moments From The Barbie Trailer
If The Shoe Fits…
The opening shot of the trailer shows the titular character walking into the frame wearing a pair of baby pink bedazzled heels atop which rests a pompom in the same colour.
This frame, despite having been released less than a day ago, has already garnered a lot of attention, specifically from those who think that it was a missed opportunity for a designer collaboration. However, many others have come to the production’s defence explaining how Barbie isn’t known for wearing luxury designer fashion but is typically dressed in her own crafted creations.

Gingham Everywhere
This flamingo pink-white ensemble is already a fan-favourite as the stylish doll is seen walking on a pink-sand beach wearing the gingham-print dress along with a matching hat and sea-clam-themed accessories that look straight out of a Barbie Fashion Set. The doll later wears a dress with the same print.
Ken’s Striped Co-ord Set
Starting strong is Ryan Gosling‘s Ken who sports a pink and mint striped shirt and shorts set, exposing his plastic-like abs and topping the look with his signature bleach-blonde cropped hair, a white surfboard and shoes.
Bring on the Bling
Appearing to be performing a dance number alongside the other Barbies, Margot’s Barbie dons a sparkly number with sequin detail that she wears with long, wavy hair and chunky accessories. Who doesn’t love a bedazzled moment?
Bell Bottomed Barbie
The trailer showed us a split-second of a much-awaited ensemble worn by Margot — a vest in bright pink paired with bell-bottom pants in the same tone — behind-the-scenes images from which went viral when photographers captured the actors filming the movie last year.
Barbie’s Beret and Peter Pan Dress
Seated in what looks like a life-size Barbie toy car alongside Ken is Barbie, wearing a Peter Pan collared dress with puff sleeves and a matching beret, accessorising the look with braided hair in a pink ribbon and pearl earrings. Ken, in the same shot, sports a bright pink boiler suit which features the iconic “B” logo all over it.
