I know we tend to associate Barbiecore with the color pink, but it also includes the other fun patterned outfits the Barbies wear in Barbie Land, including that iconic black and white swimsuit. It turns out, that the swimwear Margot Robbie’s titular character wears in Barbie’s first teaser and the first scene of the film has skyrocketed in popularity. So, here’s how you can rock this lovely black-and-white look.
Back in 1959, the original Barbie wore this incredible strapless black and white striped swimsuit. She accessorized with a white pair of cat-eye sunglasses, simple earrings and a bold red lip. In Barbie, when the lead doll comes into existence she’s wearing this retro look to pay homage to the first doll. Now, a study by Boohoo has shown that this item from Greta Gerwig’s incredibly well-reviewed movie is rising in popularity.
