Come on Barbie, let’s go party!
There is no denying the Barbie movie, starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, is certain to be the Halloween costume of the yr. The truth is, Kelsea Ballerini already got into the spooky spirit early, wearing the famous western-inspired ensemble from the film.
But when dressing in all-pink is not your thing, Barbie costume designer Jacqueline Durran has scary-good advice.
“The major thing is to play with color,” Jacqueline exclusively told E! News. “You haven’t got to have pink, but have a daring approach to color. And give it some thought being a head-to-toe look, so that you simply’re completely in a method. That can all the time provide you with a Barbie feeling.”
One other tip? When dreaming up your Barbie-inspired Halloween outfit, take into consideration what she is representing.
“There’s all the time a connection between the entire things she wears,” the costume designer explained. “The concept is that all of it is available in a pack and you have put all of it on. So, when Barbie goes to the beach, she has beach-related accessories—a shell necklace or shell earrings. She all the time has things that relate to what she’s doing.”
The trick—and treat—to channeling the long-lasting doll, Jacqueline said, is to complete the outfit from top to bottom. “Don’t be too nervous about it,” the Oscar winner shared, “just invent it yourself.”
