10 Asian celebrities rocking Barbiecore in 2023: from Hong Kong’s Grace Chan and Deborah Hung to Blackpink’s Jennie, Lisa, Rosé and Jisoo, Bollywood’s Priyanka Chopra, Simone Ashley and Shay Mitchell
Barbiecore is in full force this summer!
Look around and it’s everywhere. On red (or rather pink) carpets, on the streets and definitely on social media. Since last year, the push for hot-pink colour palettes, ultra-feminine silhouettes and Barbie-branded accessories has fuelled a style trend that honours the 1950s Mattel doll with a playful, nostalgic twist.

8. Simone Ashley
The Bridgerton actress previously channelled Barbiecore when she wore a fuchsia-pink jumpsuit from Pier Paolo Piccioli’s monochromatic autumn/winter 2022 collection at last year’s Baftas.
This year, she brought even more oomph to her daring style with this noughties throwback “going out” dress, as described by Vogue. Ashley sparkled in the candy-pink minidress by Christopher Kane at a Tag Heuer event in April.
9. Priyanka Chopra
Bollywood icon Priyanka Chopra has been turning heads in multiple Barbiecore-inspired outfits over the past couple of years. This March, she arrived at Valentino’s Black Tie event in Paris wearing another fuchsia ensemble with logo embossing from the brand.
10. Giann Chan
Social media sensation Giann Chan promoted the Barbie movie this week by posing in a series of photos living the Barbie dream. This one of her inside a toy box is one of our favourites, as she’s gone for a simple yet eye-catching outfit that combines different shades of pink with a black vest overlay.
