Halloween is fast approaching and there’s no guessing as to what theme is going to dominate the spooky season this year.
We can expect to see an influx of pink-clad, bedazzled Barbies flocking to house parties and clubs on October 31. Barbiemania is set to be the biggest Halloween trend, which is hardly surprising considering the Mattel character’s wardrobe is unparalleled.
In the past week alone, UK Google searches for ‘Barbie Halloween costume’ have increased by 650 per cent, plus there have been 116.1M views on TikTok for the hashtag #barbiecostume. The nation has well and truly fallen prey to Barbie fever.
If you’re tempted to tap into Barbie’s fashion influence, then there are copious outfits belonging to the It-girl to recreate. Channel Wild West charm and step into Barbie’s white cowboy boots and hot pink get-up, or make an entrance in an Eighties-inspired rollerblade babe look.
Note that blonde wigs are not essential for brunettes, you can easily be President Barbie, Writer Barbie or Physicist Barbie.
Regardless of which Barbie you choose to bring to life, embodying the legendary doll requires an epic Halloween celebration to attend. We’d recommend a giant blowout party with all the Barbies, planned choreography, and a bespoke song.
So leave your patriarchal views at the door and browse the best Barbie outfits to shop in time for Halloween.
