New Barbie Set Photos Got The Best Twitter Reactions

Whether you love it or hate to love it, Greta Gerwig is bringing a live action Barbie movie to the masses. It’s starring the ethereal humans Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling and will hit theaters on July 21, 2023. But we already have some Barbie set photos that are getting the best tweet and meme reactions.

We keep getting little sneak peaks at the characters and their costumes, created by costume designer Jacqueline Durran. She also designed for Gerwig’s Little Women, giving us more range than than any home has ever been on.

So far, Robbie looks like literal plastic perfection, and Gosling looks like…well, honestly, a little like a Freddie Prinze Jr. knock off. Apparently blonde isn’t always better.

Most recently, we got a look at roller skating Barbie and Ken. They were gliding through Venice Beach, decked out in neon spandex, visors, and elbow pads. We love it when fashion and safety intersect. Which unfortunately can’t be said for those orange life vests that somehow strangle you while saving you.

To bring your week a little brightness, here are the best Barbie set photos so far, along with some stellar Twitter reactions of our new Barbie, Ken, and supporting characters.
