25 Barbie Collabs Worth Shopping Before The Film Hits Theaters

Big hair and blue eyeshadow lovers’ dreams are coming true this summer, and unless you’ve been living off the grid, you’ve likely heard a thing or two about it. The Barbie movie, directed by Greta Gerwig and starring two of Hollywood’s biggest names – Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling – is coming soon to a theater near you. Images of Robbie sporting bubblegum-hued sets and matching stilettos is giving nostalgia and evoking warm childhood memories. Before there was TikTok, we had plastic human caricatures with impressive wardrobes and a dream car to engage imaginations. Summers spent playing Barbies with a best friend were the best kind. Cruising down the imaginary Pacific Coast Highway in the pink convertible felt almost as good as the real thing, as we waited for mom to bring cookies and pink lemonade. Life was simple. Things were good.

Alas, gone are the days of imaginative play and full-service snacks, and our favorite toy has gone Hollywood. Sure to be the breakout hit of the summer, the Barbie movie’s press tour is in full swing and retailers are already cashing in. #Barbiemovie collabs are popping up everywhere, and, so far, seem to be a massive hit. A marketer's dream with an unmistakable color palette and the most recognizable name in history, the trademark logo has been scrawled over everything from bath towels to park benches. Taking over the fashion, home decor and gaming scene are Barbie x (fill in the blank) collections, and, as the OG influencer, Barbie is no doubt delighted. Life in plastic really is fantastic. 

From modern to retro, all of Barbie’s eras are covered by the collabs, and fans have their pick of pinked-out merch. And while we have high hopes for the movie to help us relive every rose-colored childhood memory, we’re not about to rely on the virtual experience alone.
