If the runway, red carpet, and everyday street style is anything to go by, the steady influx of Barbiecore shows no signs of slowing down WORDS CHARLOTTE BRUNDRETT kaleidoscopic shift in fashion and beauty Ae Tat oy os etal in aver ot fun, vibrant trends such as Barbiecore.

Barbiecore might be new territory for Gen Z, but it is welcome nostalgia for many Australians, including author, podcaster and The House of Wellness TV co-host Sarah Davidson. ‘I'm pretty sure | started the Barbiecore trend all the way back in 1989," Sarah says. “I lived, breathed and embodied the colour pink and have very few memories that aren't coloured accordingly” Having first trained as a ballerina, which perpetuated her pink obsession, Sarah spent her 20s shunning the colour so as to position herself as a mature moody-monochrome- wearing adult. “(But) as | inched towards 30, I realised life is too short to be minimalist and varying shades of potato.” she says. “Now | fully embrace bright colours in my wardrobe, including pink, because it brings me so much joy and energy” Melbourne make-up artist Nicole Kene is excited to see how the trend evolves. “Being a ‘90s child that was Barbie obsessed, the Barbiecore trend is all very nostalgic for me,’ Nicole says. “I'm looking forward to seeing how the film encapsulates the styling, hair and make-up that we've come to associate with Barbiecore and the iconic doll itself” MAKE-UP Roe ncue cl WENN a Rectan ters tay Pan aha this season, Nicole says. reeeossae tes for pink lips.

Instead, follow Megan Fox's cue and opt for a baby pink rinse or glaze, which only lasts a few washes and gives your hair a subtle touch of pink rather than anything dramatic “Another way to add a hint of pink is by using pink ribbons in your hair, which is predicted to be a major hair accessory trend this season,’ Nicole says The ballet-inspired trend, referred to as coquette hair involves relaxed braids, pigtails and top buns that are accessorised with ribbons.
