Unless you’ve been living under a rock this past year, you’ve probably seen the trailer for the upcoming Barbie movie starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling. Directed by Greta Gerwig, who’s worked on Oscar-nominated Lady Birdand Little Women (among others), the rom-com is bound to become the hottest movie of the summer and potentially the decade — and we’re counting down the days until the July 21 premiere.

Aside from the star-studded cast, one of the standout elements of the trailer is hands-down the fashion. Whether she’s clad head-to-toe in hot pink or dancing the night away in a sparkling jumpsuit (with a touch of existential dread), it’s no wonder why the movie has inspired the year’s biggest fashion trend: Barbiecore.

There has already been plenty of doll-inspired fashion in the last year, from “Polly Pocket shoes” to plastic purses, and we’re seeing an influx of Barbie-influenced style in anticipation of the film. Think platform heels, matching sets, and everything pink and heart-shaped. To help you get the look, we’ve rounded up 20 fabulous pieces for a Barbie-approved wardrobe that’s not just for dolls.

From Versace-esque to shimmering shadow palettes, here’s our favorite hot pink picks to celebrate Barbiecore this year.
