The upcoming 2023 film Barbie is written and directed by Greta Gerwig, best known for films Lady Bird and Little Women.

3) Issa Rae

Issa Rae plays the character of President Barbie in the movie. In order to embrace the Barbiecore trend, Rae chose to wear a stylish long pink dress designed by Marc Bouwer. She elegantly styled her hair in a ponytail and effortlessly carried a hot pink purse that beautifully complemented her overall look.

In an interview with The Guardian, Rae shared that she was initially reluctant to take on the role of Barbie, as she was not a fan of the color pink. However, she was quite charmed with the Barbiecore trend as well as the project's message of inclusivity and diversity, which she believes is the entire point of the film.

4) Billie Eilish

Billie Eilish, who is featured on the movie's soundtrack, recently took to Instagram to promote her new song on the Barbie soundtrack. She shared a photo of herself sporting a retro blond ponytail, exuding a nostalgic vibe.

In line with the Barbiecore trend, she arrived at the World Premiere wearing black silky trousers, a pale pink shirt with pinstripes, a vibrant hot pink tie, and a pair of oversized sneakers.

5) Margot Robbie

Margot Robbie attended the international premiere of Barbie in a strapless mermaid gown by Schiaparelli Haute Couture and velvet gloves. Robbie's been spotted in a number of pink gowns over the past several months, which fits in well with the Barbiecore aesthetic.

However, despite not directly aligning with the current trend, the black dress was a deliberate reference to Barbie's Solo in the Spotlight doll. Although some fans were surprised by her decision not to wear pink to the premiere, Robbie's choice to wear black was a daring and glamorous move that beautifully highlighted her fashion sense and creativity.
