21 Pink Bikinis That Scream Malibu Barbie
It's no surprise that Barbie is summer's It girl—she's everything. Although the iconic American doll has been around since the late 1950s, it is only recently that Barbie's signature style can be found everywhere and on everyone. Yes, even Who What Wear editors are obsessed with all things pink, creating Barbie-approved outfits in anticipation of the premiere of the epic movie directed by Greta Gerwig, which hits theaters July 21.
Of course, Barbie is a beach girl at heart, and while it might be a bit odd (and chilly) to wear a bikini to the movie theater, almost anywhere else is fair game. Whether you're spending the day at the lake, catching some sun poolside, or surfing the waves off the coast of Malibu, there is definitely a Barbiecore bikini that suits the occasion perfectly.
Keep scrolling for 21 hot pink bikinis that we're positive Barbie would wear to the beach, on a boat, or even as a top. As with all things Barbie, if you can dream it, you can be it—as long as you dress the part.
