Primark's new Barbie clothing collection has shoppers going wild for '80s vibes'

Primark shoppers have been blown away by a new clothing and accessories range inspired by the iconic doll, Barbie.

This summer, fans of the plastic fashion icon young and old are being treated to a new blockbuster movie starring the likes of Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, Will Ferrell and Emma Mackey.

Barbie will land in cinemas on July 21, but until then, film fans have been spoiled with a selection of trailers that show Margot and Ryan parading around as Barbie and Ken in some of their most iconic costumes.

And one of these was the inspiration behind part of Primark's new collection, which shoppers are saying gives off strong '80s vibes'.

The high street retailer posted a reel and several pictures on Instagram of some of the new Barbie-inspired garments, which include a rainbow tie-dye swimsuit and sweatshirts with the iconic motif across the front in various shades of pink.

The swimsuit can be seen styled with ripped blue jeans for a more casual look, as well as with a pair of fluorescent cycling shorts just like Margot in the film - rollerblades optional.

There's also a selection of tote bags, visors and sliders to really complete the outfit.

And for the Kens, there's plenty of options too - drawstring shorts, vest tops and bucket hats, to name a few.

It's not just Barbie-themed clothing that has been hitting the shelves of Primark recently either.

A new homeware collection has also landed, which is ideal for anyone who is keen to give their space a pink makeover that's worthy of the Dream House.

A TikTok posted by Hollie Coombes shows a huge array of Barbie-themed home goodies such as sequinned pillows, notebooks, makeup bags and keyrings.

Fans on Instagram couldn't contain their excitement for the new collection, as they flocked to the comments to tag their friends.

One person said: "I saw the Barbie collection today oh my childhood, I smiled so much."

"The best collaboration ever!!!" someone else raved.

"This is everything! I can not wait to shop the collection. Forever a Barbie girl", penned a third.

A fourth wrote: "80s vibes!"

And another tagged their friend, saying: "Doesn't it all look good!"

You can shop the Primark Barbie range in store and online.
