Barbieheimer: The Perfect Style Mashup!

It’s taken the internet by storm. That’s right, it’s the Barbieheimer meme! Creating a mashup of the two latest box-office movies Barbie and Oppenheimer, the internet has concocted a trend that is highly popular on social media. Bringing the best of both worlds together, the Barbieheimer trend marries all things pink with the dark and gothic. 

What innocently started out as two distinct movies with the same release date has become a viral internet phenomenon of opposing aesthetics. Are you team pink or team black? Or maybe you just love both! Here at Blue Banana, we love to celebrate every style; that’s why we love the Barbieheimer trend! Whether you’re a pink-loving, Kawaii-dressing Barbie or love a gothic and edgy Oppenheimer aesthetic - we’ve got you covered here at Blue Banana. We’re here to show you what Barbie or Oppenheimer-inspired items you can get your hands on.

Pastel vs Goth

If you’re yet to see either movie, now is a great time to plan your mega-movie-viewing outfit! 

First up, Barbie. If you’re looking for a fully pink outfit to showcase your love for the new Barbie movie, we offer a range of fashion to spruce up your wardrobe. Check out the range of Kawaii-inspired tops and dresses from Banned Alternative.

 The pastel goth aesthetic is a great option if you’re looking for an all-pink outfit or just want to add a splash of colour to your looks. 
 

For the Oppenheimer vibe, our alternative fashion plays perfectly into the hands of this aesthetic. Check out our range of gothic dresses for a jet-black style. Our dark gothic fashion will perfectly mirror the dark vibes of this intense biopic. 

To truly embrace the Barbieheimer spirit, combine each style to get the best of both worlds. A pink top with black skinny jeans, a black dress with a pink cardigan; the choice is endless! 

The Perfect Excuse for Split Dye

 

 

Another way to get your Barbieheimer fix is a complete hair transformation! Can’t decide on pink or black hair? Grab your tint brush and gloves and create a pink and black split dye look! It’s the perfect combination of Barbie pink and Oppenheimer black and truly embodies the spirit of Barbieheimer. If you need a hand creating a split dye look then check out our handy guide from our affiliate Ellie (@Ninkcompoop) here.

Creating Barbie-inspired locks has never been easier. Discover a range of bright pink semi-permanent hair dye shades from some of our favourite brands. 

 

Style From Head to Toe

The Barbieheimer vibes don’t have to stop at clothing and hair dye, we even have the perfect pair of boots to meet your style needs. Whilst it’s easy to find an array of black boots at Blue Banana to satisfy your inner Oppenheimer, you may not know that we also offer lots of colourful styles of boots and shoes. From purple to tartan to pastel pink, there are lots of options in our footwear section for you to choose from and we think we’ve found the best Barbie-inspired pair! Check out the Dr Martens 1460 Leo Clash Boots!
