It's Barbie vibes at these pretty-in-pink cafes.
It's been non-stop excitement for Barbie fans in the UAE ever since the Warner Bros. film, directed by Oscar-award winner Greta Gerwig, began its movie press tour this summer.
While the film's release has been pushed to August 31 in the UAE, that hasn't stopped residents from getting swept up by the Barbie fever taking the internet (and retail shops) by storm. Barbiecore, a trend where you incorporate Barbie's signature style onto fashion, home décor, food, and beauty has been all the rage these past several weeks.
