<\/p>\n

The promotional tour<\/a> for Greta Gerwig’s <\/a>Barbie<\/em><\/a>, <\/em>easily the most anticipated film of the year<\/a>, has been nothing short of mania. From eponymous lead Margot Robbie’s perfectly-curated event wardrobe<\/a> to Barbie’s Malibu Dreamhouse turned Airbnb<\/a> to a hot pink Xbox collaboration<\/a>, we’ve been living in Barbie world for months now. What was once more of a trend, #Barbiecore<\/a> has become a fully-fledged lifestyle, especially as the film’s release date finally approaches.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the European premiere of the film on Wednesday, London was been seriously Barbiefied, too. Fans queued for hours<\/a> outside the city’s Cineworld in Leicester Square, where the main cast including Robbie, Ryan Gosling, America Ferrera, Issa Rae, and Simu Liu walked the pink carpet.<\/p>\n

And for those who didn’t make it to the premiere, London has enough Barbie-esque promos to satiate fans, from luminous Barbie buses to a bright pink TARDIS landing near Tower Bridge. Here’s some of the ways in which London is welcoming Barbie<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The stars and makers of the movie took to the pink carpet in Leicester Square, wearing a range of pink-hued gowns and, in the case of Gosling, pastel pants. Robbie wore a custom, pearl-coloured Vivienne Westwood dress, inspired by an actual Barbie released in 1960<\/a>. <\/p>\n

London’s iconic Black cabs and signature red buses<\/a> have been plastered pink \u2014 with appearances from Barbie and Ken too. That includes a deliciously-pink Barbie-themed bus by PROPER Snacks, in celebration of the company’s limited-edition Barbie-themed, sweet popcorn<\/a> snack and an upcoming pop-up store in Shoreditch<\/a>. <\/p>\n

A pink TARDIS<\/h3>\n

A Doctor Who<\/em> and Barbie<\/em> crossover? Who would have thought? A pink TARDIS, the time machine and spacecraft from the iconic BBC series, has appeared near Tower Bridge. The fun pop-up pays homage to actor Ncuti Gatwa, who is set to be the fifteenth Doctor<\/a> and also plays a role in Barbie<\/em>.<\/p>\n
