Unleashing Your Inner Barbie: The Malhar-approved guide on how to be decked like Margot Robbie

An unforgettable year is incomplete without an unforgettable party. Regardless of whether you’re interested in glitz and glamour, ornate decorations and entertainment or simply a fun themed soiree, fasten your seatbelts and hold onto your tiaras, because Malhar is gearing up to host the party of the century: the Barbie Blowout Party! In collaboration with the official Barbie movie and Warner Brothers, we’re about to go full-on doll-tastic. But what’s that you say? You’ve never dressed up as a plastic icon before? Fear not, we’re here with all the tips and tricks you’ll need!

Let’s get something straight first: this isn’t about squeezing yourself into a miniature plastic gown or dealing with the challenge of permanently pointed feet. Barbie, a name once synonymous with a monolithic archetype of beauty and femininity, has over the years evolved into a celebration of varied identities and inclusivity. The Barbie spirit is all about being the best, brightest, and — most importantly — pink-est version of yourself. The essence of this party lies not in our external appearances but in the spirit of Barbie that resides within us all. We’re all Barbie on the inside; we just need to let it shine.

Here’s how to do it:

  1. Dive Into The Pink: Barbie is synonymous with a palette of vibrant hues, the most iconic of them being pink. Whether it’s bubblegum, baby, or fuchsia, you can’t go wrong with pink. But hey, if you’re feeling adventurous, go ahead and turn yourself into a walking, talking (gorgeous) flamingo!
  1. Dress To Impress: Barbie’s been everything from an astronaut to a mermaid. Choose your favorite Barbie era and go for it. Poodle skirts, spacesuits, or pop star glam — you pick! Remember, originality is the key. Be creative, and don’t hesitate to add your unique spin! (Boys: Simply because you’re “Just Ken”, doesn’t mean you have an excuse to be basic.)
  1. Add the Drama: No Barbie is complete without her bling. Oversized sunglasses, glittering jewelry, or a tiny plastic dog named Taffy. The sky’s the limit! Choose accessories that complement your outfit and add that extra sparkle.
  1. Step Into Barbie’s Shoes: Let’s face it, Barbie’s shoe game is always on point (pun intended). Follow her lead and bring out your most outrageous pair. Stilettos, boots, or perhaps roller skates? Just make sure you can still dance!
  1. Adopt The Barbie-tude: Our beloved doll always believes she can do anything and everything. Channel that unshakeable confidence and strut your stuff. Remember, Barbies don’t walk — they glide! Make sure to bring that spirit on Sunday (and every day).

Remember, Barbie comes in all shapes, sizes, and styles. Barbie is not one, but many — a reflection of diverse styles, personalities, and dreams. Shedding its outdated, stereotypical image, Barbie has embraced a broader representation, becoming a dynamic symbol of pluralism and individuality. Barbie underscores a vital message: our uniqueness is our strength, and we should reject any imposition that seeks to confine us within rigid boxes. Whether you choose to emulate Barbie the astronaut, the president, the firefighter, the pop star, or the fashion model, just let your inner Barbie shine. There’s a doll in all of us, ready to take on the world (or at least, the dance floor).

So, grab your most dazzling attire, put on that million-dollar smile, and meet us in the Hall this Sunday for an unforgettable evening of fun, festivity, and fashion. The memories (and pictures) are sure to stay with you forever.

Until then, Xavierites, stay fabulous and remember: this is your Barbie world and we’re all just living in it. Come on, Barbie, let’s go party…
