Okay, so I saw this trend going around about Alexandra Shipp’s outfits in the Barbie movie, and I just had to try and recreate some of them. I mean, she plays Writer Barbie, and her style is just so effortlessly cool and chic. Let’s dive into what I did!
Getting Started: The Research Phase
First things first, I needed to figure out which outfits I wanted to try. I spent a good chunk of time scrolling through photos from the movie and red-carpet premieres. I paused, zoomed, and screen-shotted like crazy. I wanted outfits that looked, you know, achievable with stuff I might already have or could easily find.
The Outfit Attempts

The Pink Jumpsuit Moment: I remember seeing a picture, I think it was from a press event where she had a pink jumpsuit.I didn’t have a bright pink jumpsuit, obviously, but I did have a similar-shaped one in a dusty rose color. Not exactly the same, but the vibe was there! I threw it on and added some chunky gold jewelry to try and match the energy.

Trying for the Casual Cool: There were lots of photos of her, so I searched and found photos of her more casual looks. I spotted a combination that looked like something I could pull off. My version involved a simple white tee, high-waisted jeans and tried adding my own little twist with a bright-colored scarf.

Dress-Up:
I found a flowing white dress,then I tried to make it a bit more “Barbie” by adding a pop of color with a bright pink belt and some fun, sparkly earrings. It was surprisingly effective!
The Final Verdict
It was so much fun! It’s not about having the exact same clothes, but about capturing the feeling of the outfits. And honestly, it made me appreciate Alexandra Shipp’s style even more. She’s a total fashion icon, and it’s inspiring to see how she mixes and matches things. I definitely recommend giving this a try if you’re looking for some style inspiration, it is very interesting!
