Enthusiasm for the Barbie movie and the prevailing core trend has peaked following the release of the film in July.

Several brands and businesses, even non-movie related brands discreetly introduced collections of pink yoga wears and rose-pink travel bags, aligning with the Barbie aesthetic.

The partnership between the studio and the toy company had resulted in collaborations with clothing brands, haircare companies, and more, all incorporating Barbie’s signature color into their products. The Copyright Office registered over 2,000 works related to Barbie, including dolls, games, and movie songs.
