From minimal to full-on glam.
It goes without saying that the upcoming Barbie film starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling has all but defined the summer of 2023, with what seems like endless pink-hued Barbie collaborations dropping by the day — and across categories, too. Even Burger King hopped on the Barbie bandwagon and dropped a questionable hot pink menu item.
The same can be said about buzzy manicures, with countless A-listers trying their hand at the Barbiecore nail art trend in recent months. Namely? Robbie herself on more than one occasion (well, duh), Selena Gomez, Dua Lipa, Nicki Minaj, Emily Ratajkowski, and many more.
