For fans, dressing for the Barbie movie completes the Barbie fashion experience

Even before I got to the theater, I saw the pink.
One or two people in bright pink outfits isn’t unusual in a crowded space, but it became clear as I walked toward the movie theater that the pink-clad group I was following wasn’t alone. Dozens of people sporting pink ensembles were all heading to see Greta Gerwig’s Barbie movie. People of all genders and ages came dressed for the occasion. I saw a father in a bright tropical-style shirt take a picture with his daughter in pink, posing in front of a photo backdrop, while lines of pink-clad people in groups waited for their turn. Some went for head-to-toe pink, while others simply sported pink sunglasses or a bright pink shirt. But it was clear what movie they were here to see. (The chorus of “Hi, Barbie!” from one pink group to another certainly cemented that; as seen in one of the movie’s first trailers, that’s how all the Barbies in Barbieland greet each other.)
As it turns out, the dress-up vibe at my screening wasn’t an anomaly. Around the world, people are showing up to Barbie wearing either their pinkest attire or their most fabulous fashion. If you’ve been to a theater this past week or so, even if you weren’t seeing Barbie, you probably noticed this phenomenon.
Fans dressing up in ways that reflect the movie they’re seeing is still a popular way to express excitement for the experience; just ask anyone who went to a Hunger Games or Harry Potter midnight premiere back in the day. But there’s a certain energy in the Barbie dress-ups that feels a little different. For one, it’s not just the premiere getting the hype, but any Barbie screening. (A friend told me that her Tuesday-evening screening was packed with people who’d dressed for the occasion.) And for another, it seems like people from all walks of life are picking appropriately festive outfits for this cinematic experience.

“I just loved seeing so many girlies all dressed up and excited for a movie tbh,” Lauryl Fischer tells Polygon via DM. “I feel like that kind of fervor is usually only for huge fantasy franchises.”
“I saw a mom and a daughter dress up,” says Mandy Stoffel. “It’s a nice reminder for those of us who are adults — like, why not put on your most fun clothes for a Monday?”
“Though it was not the whole theater, seeing so many people, especially one group of older women who were hanging out near us before the movie, made this truly a wonderful time of just existing in this shared experience,” Chloe Rostron-Manning says via email.
The other thing that separates Barbie from some of these big franchise dress-ups is that it’s just been a long time since people were this hyped up for a movie. Many of the people I spoke to

The Gran Turismo movie veers away from its real-life inspiration into full-on gamer cringe
A little way into the movie Gran Turismo, the unlikely brand extension of Sony’s sim racing games accidentally satirizes itself. “This whole thing is a marketing extravaganza!” excitable auto executive Danny Moore (Orlando Bloom) shouts at salty racing coach Jack Salter (David Harbour). They’re aboard a helicopter wheeling above a racetrack, where Salter’s students in the GT Academy — a real-life program intended to turn players of Sony’s Gran Turismo games into actual racing drivers — are being put through their paces. The helicopter is an absurd bit of theater for the TV cameras, and Salter knows it. But he’s powerless to resist the marketing apparatus around him.

Greta Gerwig's team refused to agree to Barbie 2 before the movie came out – and now it's hit $1 billion
Barbie has now made $1 billion at the box office – and there's no sequel on the horizon. Neither writer-director Greta Gerwig nor her co-writer (and real-life partner) Noah Baumbach has a contract for Barbie 2, but that doesn't mean the studio hasn't tried to convince Gerwig.

Barbie lets America Ferrera play the kind of geek we never see
Every character in Greta Gerwig’s Barbieis perfectly crafted perfection. The dolls — Stereotypical Barbie, Beach Ken, and dorky Allan, among others — steal the spotlight, but Gerwig considers her human characters, the ones who give these toys ideas and conflicts, too. There’s the goofy Mattel CEO (Will Ferrell) and abrasive teenager Sasha (Ariana Greenblatt).

Mortal Kombat Fans Are Begging For Sektor And Cyrax On The Main MK1 Roster
