The whole world is coming down with Barbie fever ahead of the release of the hotly-anticipated movie this weekend. With that in mind, here are some gorgeous pink fashion pieces, inspired by the icon herself
Pamela Scott Frill Skirt – €89.99
This frilly, floaty skirt from the Trend Room in Pamela Scott are the things Barbie dreams are made of! Live out all your princess fantasies with this maxi that will look equally fabulous with sequins as it does with a simple strappy top as styled above.
Lily & Rose Theo Top – €18.90 (sale price)
The voluminous sleeves, the tasteful V-neck, the multi-coloured pink and white print – there is so much to love about this top from Lily & Rose. Not least the incredible sale price! It’s one size that will fit sizes 8-12 so it will depend on whether you want a more fitted or oversized look.
Carraig Donn Wrap Coat – €40
The Irish summer means that, regardless of the forecast, a coat is always a good idea to protect from a sudden shower or drop in temperature. We love this light belted number from Carraig Donn in delicate pink that will work wonderfully as a cover up at any special occasion as well.
iClothing Stefi Tropical Print Short Dress – €44.98 (sale price)
Fun and flirty, this short pink tropical-print dress from iClothing truly embodies the essence of Barbie. With a feminine frill hem and waist tie to define the silhouette, you can wear this stunning floral dress with heels for an occasion look.
Edit Row Florence in Lilac – €65
We are in love with this midaxi dress from Irish label, Edit Row. The dress is designed for an oversized fit, resulting in maximum comfort and style all in one. Also available in hot pink if you want to go full Barbie.
ALDO Nuala Curved Wedge Sandals – €123.99
Tap into your 90s nostalgia with these incredible wedge sandals from ALDO. The candyfloss pink shade fully embrace the “Barbiecore” trend while also giving a nod to Baby Spice – an iconic pop culture fusion if ever there was one.
Arnotts Louisa Mini Crystal Barrel Top Handle Bag – €75 (sale price)
Add a bit of edge to your pink ensemble with this fabulous crystal barrel bag from Arnotts. The black and silver detailing on the strap give it a more grown-up, glamorous vibe – ideal for pairing with a black leather jacket.
Dunnes Stores Helen Steele Padded Gilet – €50
For sporty Barbie types out there, this pink gilet from Helen Steele’s range at Dunnes Stores is a dream. Brilliant for layering over active wear on changeable weather days, it adds warmth without adding weight. It also has an adjustable hood – winning.
Ivory Lane Ava Houndstooth Tweed Blazer – €57.50 (sale price)
We adore this chic pink houndstooth blazer with gold buttons from Ivory Lane boutique in Galway and Limerick. Perfect for dressing up a casual outfit of jeans and a white tee, it’s also ideal for wearing as a suit jacket over any shade of pink.
The g Hotel Barbie Afternoon Tea
If wearing pink isn’t your thing but you still want to embrace the trend, the g Hotel in Galway has a “fantastic” Barbie-themed afternoon tea on offer from 21 – 30 July, every day between 12-4pm.
