DIY Ken and Barbie Costume Dressing Guide
The Ken and Barbie Costume is perfect for couples to dress up as their favorite childhood dolls.
Begin your transformation into Barbie by donning a woman’s fancy dress. Make sure it fits well and captures the essence of Barbie’s timeless style. This will serve as the core of your Ken and Barbie costume look.
Kickstart your Ken transformation by putting on light blue chino shorts. These offer a casual yet stylish base that is quintessentially Ken.
To add some flair to your pants, use a gold jean belt. It will not only hold your pants in place but also add an element of glamour to the overall look.
Slide your feet into a pair of navy blue penny loafers. These shoes are a classic choice that complements the chino shorts and Aloha shirt perfectly.
Fasten a gold jean belt around your waist to add a touch of sophistication. Then, accessorize with a baby blue cravat, giving your Halloween a flair that only Ken can pull off.
Do an Aloha shirt to give your look a fun twist. This adds a layer of personality to your costume and echoes Ken’s own ever-changing wardrobe.
Once the dress is on, step into a pair of eye-catching fuchsia platform pumps. These not only elevate your height but also bring that classic Barbie flair to your ensemble.
Accentuate your waist by putting on a pink elastic belt, and keep your hair in place with pink scrunchies. These elements provide pops of color and contribute to a cohesive look.
Accessorize your hair with pink scrunchies, either by tying your hair into a ponytail or using them to hold back sections of your hair. This adds an extra layer of ’80s or ’90s nostalgia to the look.
No Barbie look is complete without her signature blonde hair. Put on a blonde wig with bangs to truly become the iconic doll.
If you’re feeling adventurous or are aiming for a specific version of Ken, consider adding rainbow thigh-high socks or accessories to make your costume even more memorable.
