The new Barbie movie, featuring Margot Robbie, brought a lot of hype on the Internet and fashion inspiration. However, are we really all fans of the glitter and the hot pink color? Of course not! So, what’s the Anti-Barbie Summer fashion? Who inspired this trend? How to stand out from the crowd?

What Is The Anti-Barbie Fashion?

Where did this trend all started, you ask? The famous singer Sam Smith, showed up at the premier of the newest Barbie Movie, wearing an oversized black sweatshirt and jeans. This created a lot of controversy opinions and people started asking, why wasn’t he in sync with the whole Barbie theme. Sam actually is involved with the movie, since the last soundtrack of Barbie The Album is his. But why was he making this bold fashion statement while walking on the hot pink carpet?

Smith joined forces with the famous Vetements designer – Guram Gvasalia, who created the look. Together, they wanted to do something super different from the Margot Robbie pink designs and the entire Barbie vibe. That’s why they choose something baggy and black. According to the singer, he wanted to pay homage to all the rebels out there, who don’t agree with the whole pink and cotton candy Barbie theme. Also, they wanted to show off the newest Vetements collection and their new look on how proportions should be.

As you know, many people thought that the body image that Barbie creates can be very damaging for our society. Every girl wanted that slim figure, with a small waist and thin legs. We think that singer Sam Smith is rioting up against these standards, that somehow the doll unintentionally has created in a lot of us.

Sam adds that you don’t have to fit in this whole pink world when you can be different and really stand out in the crowd. It helps us to not be so predictable with our dress code and express ourselves with our clothes and not copy something or someone, just because the trends dictate it. With that being said, we have prepared something for my anti-Barbies out there, who want to be rebels this Summer and not wear this hot pink color that we see everywhere. Let me inspire you with some anti-Barbie Summer fashion!

Black Summer Outfit Idea to Show Off Your Edge

Do you need a guide on how to be an anti-Barbie? I think this photo sums it up. The oversized blazer will give you this wider shoulder silhouette, and it is ideal if you opt for an anti-Barbie look. The black color is essential as you already know. The platform slippers will give you this 90s edgy vibe and the Prada glasses will only add sass to the entire appearance. Now, the denim shorts are my favorite in this outfit. They fit perfectly into the 90s outfit that you can recreate this Summer 2023.
