With the new Barbie movie being released less than two months from now, everyone is itching to unleash their inner Barbie doll — including the Princess of Wales herself, Kate Middleton.
As many Kate fans know, the beloved royal isn’t afraid to take chances when it comes to her fashion — including rocking a super bold pink look. Within the past month, Kate has arrived to quit a few high-profile events in a bright pink look that perfectly embodies the Barbiecore trend.
For those who don’t know, the Barbiecore trend is one of the latest internet trends that are so simple to follow: all you really have to do is rock the color pink in a bold, monochromatic fit! In normal Kate fashion, she does play around with the trend, adding more subtle colors or wearing multiple bold shades of pink — but we love to see it nonetheless.
Most recently, she’s made headlines for her bubblegum-pink suit for The Foundling Museum Visit and the pleated dress for the 2023 Chelsea Flower Show! And there’s many more where that came from.
In honor of her latest pink looks, let’s check out every time Kate rocked a Barbiecore look since 2011. Check out the photos below:
