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.

Barbie (played by Margot Robbie), one of the most iconic toys in existence, is now getting the live-action treatment in her own film.  Cast out of Barbieland for not being perfect enough, Barbie finds herself transported to the real world alongside Ken.  Barbie’s outfits are bright and outlandish, perfect for a doll.  Getting exact matches for the costumes is going to be almost impossible, so focus on recreating the look as closely as you can while channeling the overall vibe.  You can use some iron-on star patches to add details to her pink cowgirl outfit, and if you don’t feel like rollerblading in your costume all night, a pair of neon high-tops can be easily swapped in.
