There are a lot of looks below that are perfectly appropriate for the beach or catching Greta Gerwig's much-anticipated Barbie flick at the movie theater. This summer's issue of Vogue features Margot Robbie wearing some of the most-wanted fashions, shot by Ethan James Green. Make your summer shopping list a little more fun with these Barbie-inspired outfits. Come on, Barbies! Let’s go Shopping.

Barbie’s social calendar is chock-full of glamorous events. She turns to Carolina Herrera for black-tie looks that make a statement.

An iconic Barbie-inspired striped one-piece swimsuit is a great choice for fun in the sun. Splash some polka dots into your wardrobe. Add white shades. SPF is a must!

Just ask Barbie how much easier it is to handle business when you wear Saint Laurent. (She’ll also tell you that phones are even better when bedazzled, like Judith Leiber's one.)

1980s Barbie

If she could turn back time, she would likely head to the va-va-voom 1980s. Hair was bigger, ruffles were unmissable, and the sartorial drama was worth a telenovela. A gown from Valentino Haute Couture would also feel right at home.

Dressed-Down Barbie

Although Barbie isn't truly a minimalist, she does occasionally dabble in a few things. It's all about having fun and trying new things when it comes to fashion! Satin mules can add doll-like appeal to a beige look.

Cowgirl Barbie

Giddy up! Barbie is heading to the rodeo. A bedazzled cowgirl hat and fringed gingham finished off the look.

Her shopping spree is about to begin! In Barbie's pink convertible, Bottega Veneta's sunshine yellow print is perfect for catching some rays.

It's first class all the way for Barbie when she travels. The luggage she carries must be worthy of the journey. In SteamLine's cases and hat boxes are all her Barbie belongings.

Astronaut Barbie

A space-age wardrobe means wearing minis, chainmail, metallics, and more. When she's traveling through the galaxies, Barbie likes to shower herself in stars.

Have fun this summer!

Dress is a fundamental element of social evolution. It comprises one of the most basic building blocks of inequality. Fashion, likewise, is neither frivolous nor trivial. It matters, has consequences. Dress and fashion have a significant impact on the way people live, define themselves, and operate within their own habitats. It is a game of differentiation, the means by which one ethnic group distinguishes itself from another, one social status and religious affiliation from another. Dress and fashion help identify the foreign, the minority, and the marginal, and can emerge as an influential means by which people challenge their status and reshape their identity within their own societies or on the global stage. In order to understand the complexities of what people wear and why, sociologists, anthropologists, historians, philosophers, semiologists, linguists and many others input their immense expertise. The study of modern civilization fashion along with mass production can derive no assistance from world history before comparatively modern times. In human history fashion is new and its future path is unknown.
