Middleton’s choice to wear the bright pink dress is in line with the Barbiecore trend that’s been surging in popularity since the summer of 2022. The ascent of the Barbiecore style has coincided with the release of the “Barbie” movie trailer starring Margot Robbie as the title character and Ryan Gosling as her male companion Ken, which will hit theaters this summer. The style includes all things pink, and it has swept event red carpets the past year.
