Is Barbiecore the new Coastal Grandmother fashion trend? Well, more of the anti-trend, as the two have next to zero similarities. While Coastal Grandmother is very Nancy Meyers-inspired—picture sun hats, looser, breezy fits and linen everything—Barbiecore is tons of pink, feminine silhouettes and a lot of mixed materials. We're also seeing a lot of matching pink sets and monochromatic looks from head to toe (including eye makeup). The look is obviously inspired by the original Barbie—and, perhaps, early photos of the upcoming movie.

This flashy aesthetic may not be for everyone, but we are sure going to give it a go. If you're into it too, here are a few pieces to get you started.

1. Topshop Jacquard Mini Dress

A flirty pink dress is the perfect embodiment of the iconic doll. This one has a jacquard fabric for an elevated look, and the cutouts on the sides keep it feeling fresh and youthful.

Size range: 0 to 14

2. Asos Design Oversized Blazer

At this point, oversized blazers will always be on trend. This one's pink-and-white blended pattern would look super cute with a matching pair of pink jeans or white shorts, depending on what kind of event you're headed to.

Size range: 0 to 14

bardot pants
Revolve

3. Bardot Maison Straight-leg Pants

Pair the Barbiecore aesthetic with the pleated pants style everyone is loving for a double whammy. This straight-leg pair has a slightly more tailored fit.

Size range: 2 to 12

pink jean skirt
Revolve

4. Hudson Jeans The Viper Skirt

This acid washed pink skirt is very early aughts (think Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan). We would totally pair it with a different pink-hued tank top to complete the look.

Size range: 23 to 31

schutz heels
Revolve

5. Schutz Dolly Heels

These heels totally say "come on Barbie, let's go party," thanks to that strappy style and embellishments. The tapered heel is super cute for a dressier outfit and this shade of pink is super versatile.

6. J.crew Ruched One-piece

You can't show up to the Barbie Dreamhouse without a pink one-piece. The hot pink shade is great for summertime and the ruching is flattering on every body type.

Size range: 0 to 24

pink bag
Nordstrom

7. House Of Want Newbie Vegan Leather Bag

Finish off your all-pink aesthetic with a solid pink bag. We love the chain link detail on this one and the small size for easy carrying.
