Ken from Barbie (2023)

Ken (played by Ryan Gosling) is the hunky counterpart to the titular Barbie from the upcoming live-action film. Barbie and Ken have been iconic toys for decades, and now they’re getting the full movie treatment as dolls brought to life. Ken wears several wild outfits in the movie, including a black and white cowboy ensemble and a glaringly neon outfit with plenty of funky patterns. You may have to get a little crafty to get as close as possible to Ken’s look, so don’t be afraid to attach some fringe to your cowboy shirt with a hot glue gun. Likewise, neon sneakers can stand in for roller blades if you don’t feel like skating all night.
