If you’re yet to succumb to the Barbie-mania whipped up by Greta Gerwig’s hotly anticipated film, you will. Think it's intense now, with all the meme-ified film posters and Michael Cera love-ins? Then just wait until we're closer to release. Resistance is futile – and they're coming for your wardrobe, too.
It won't be long before men across the country are going out looking like neon highlighters. But for the time being, even the stars of the film are taking baby steps, rather than going full plastic fantastic.
Who?
Barbie’s boyfriend, aka Ryan Gosling, who has been seen wearing hints of pink at TAG Heuer’s anniversary party and The Gray Man premiere. But we weren't prepared for this.
Where?
Whilst attending Cinemacon, where he and co-star Margot Robbie promoted the film during the Warner Bros. Pictures presentation.
What’s he wearing?
Layered over his ‘From Director Greta Gerwig’ tee, Gosling wore an Acne Studios acid-wash bomber (in pink, of course) alongside some classic black jeans and mint-hue lace-ups.
How do I recreate it?
Cop yourself the Ombreyo jacket from the Scandi brand and detach its removable shearling collar to go full Ken. The piece is finished with its signature ‘Face’ logo and a vintage crinkled effect.
Mistakes to avoid?
Gosling has opted for a more subdued take of Barbiecore, which feels better suited to our universe – stick to one standout piece to ease yourself into the trend.
