Good Pink, Bad Pink, Hot Pink: Celeb Style on the ‘Barbie’ Premiere’s Pink Carpet

As of Sunday evening, there exists a small number of people who know what the hell the Barbie movie is all about. The summer blockbuster has used its seemingly astronomical marketing budget to shove this movie so far down our throats that we’ve been shitting pink for months. (I’m not complaining!) But despite all the promotional material, the glossy profiles, the Architectural Digest house tours, and the millions of celebrities cast as Kens and Barbies, the most we actually know about the film is that it’s “completely bananas,” was pitched with a “super abstract poem,” and originally included a genius, jaw-dropping joke that was cut.

But celebs walked the pink carpet Sunday night for the world premiere, and initial reactions to the film are pretty promising. One reviewer called it “a triumph”; another said “it caught me off guard & I mean that in the best way possible,” adding that it was “funny, bombastic, & very smart”; and another tweeted that “while it wasn’t the home run I was hoping for” it still “made me think, HOW does this movie exist?” (There have also been multiple calls for Ryan Gosling to win an Oscar for his role as Ken.)

There are just 11 more days to go until we, the members of the general public, finally get to see it. In the meantime, enjoy these photos of celebs giving us their best “come on Barbie, let’s go party” on the pink carpet.

Honestly, is Graham the star of Barbie?!

I guess when you’re walking a bright pink carpet, your instinct might be to go a little more neutral? Imagine 😉 though that she didn’t wear this and had chosen something way more big, bright, and fun instead.

Did I include this photo of the famous TikToker because I saw her TikTok where she got ready for the premiere and thought, “Wow, her hair looks great like that?” Yes.

Love to see a bright color that isn’t pink. She looks fantastic. (Which is what life in plastic is meant to be!)

With all due respect to the football star and Sports Illustrated model, the fact that they were invited to the Barbie premiere just makes me think that anyone who’s blond and famous got invited.

She looks great! But unfortunately, this is the most boring dress I can imagine wearing to the premiere of a summer blockbuster, let alone the premiere of Barbie.

I’m not convinced she isn’t an actual life-sized doll.

Michael Cera is definitely not a Barbie girl in a Barbie world, because in Barbie world, there would never be so many wrinkles. (It’s summer, it’s hot, it’s linen, I get it, I’m just saying!)
