Barbie Movie 2023: Let's Party!
Get ready for Barbie the movie
In theaters July 21st
You're never too old to take a nod from one of your childhood's favorite toys, Barbie. Barbie remains a symbol of female empowerment 64 years after first hitting the scene (looking good, girl!) and embodies that joie-de-vivre that we at Partytrick love!
With the July 21st premiere of the Barbie movie, we've put together the best of Barbie World out there for a fun night with your girls (Ken’s optional)... and even some fun ideas to put a Malibu spin on it if you want to take things out of your Dreamhouse—it is summer after all.
Drive windows down this summer to the official soundtrack: Barbie The Album
