Barbiecore took over in 2022 and we love the hot pink trend on these celebrities.

Gone are the days of pink being the colour to avoid because it's 'too girly'. Hot pink has become all the rage, culminating the ‘barbiecore’ aesthetic trend.

Previously, we’ve seen muted tones of pink take over fashion across genders. This year, the hotter and brighter shades took over.

South African celebrities did not miss out on the aesthetic. They have been seen sporting the colour all through the seasons this year. From pink monochromatic looks to pink accessories, our celebs have been on-trend.

Though the Barbiecore trend can be worn during any season, bright colours being popular during spring and summer, made the trend perfectly timed for the warmer weather.

If you'll be taking the Barbiecore trend 2023 going all the way like Minnie Dlamini in head-to-toe pink, rock it at the beach like Amanda Du Pont or keep it casual like Thabsie - there are many ways you can wear the hot pink trend, regardless of your personal style.
