In preparation for the much-awaited film 'Barbie,' Google surprises users with a delightful Easter egg feature dedicated to the movie's director, Greta Gerwig, and stars Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling. A simple search for "Barbie" or related terms will transform the Google results page into a soft pink wonderland, complete with colourful starbursts and pink confetti-like visuals.
The Barbiecore trend has been gaining momentum, influenced by the film's widespread exposure. Margot Robbie's fashion choices, particularly her red-carpet appearances, have sparked a movement embracing Barbie-inspired fashion, characterized by everything pink, from clothing to accessories and footwear.
Take A Look Here:
Google has a history of adding easter eggs to its products and services, with previous examples including nods to the Star Wars series The Mandalorian, the post-apocalyptic hit The Last of Us, and the word game Wordle.
Amid the excitement surrounding the Barbie movie, the fashion world has embraced Barbiecore wholeheartedly. The film, set to hit theatres on July 21, is a fantasy comedy directed by Greta Gerwig, who co-wrote it alongside Noah Baumbach. It brings to life the iconic Barbie fashion dolls, with Margot Robbie portraying Barbie and Ryan Gosling as Ken.
Despite the movie's popularity, Robbie and Gosling have decided not to actively market Barbie due to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike. In solidarity with other performers, they have opted to decline crossing the picket line.
Alongside Robbie and Gosling, an impressive ensemble cast includes Dua Lipa, Emma Mackey, Simu Liu, Michael Cera, Kate McKinnon, Issa Rae, Alexandra Shipp, Nicola Coughlan, Will Farrell, and Ncuti Gatwa.
As the anticipation for the Barbie movie reaches a fever pitch, Google's Barbie-themed Easter eggs add an extra layer of excitement and engagement for fans eagerly awaiting the film's release. The Barbiecore trend continues to make waves in the fashion world, ushering in an era of pink-dominated style and accessories, inspired by the beloved fashion icon. With Google's playful feature, users can now immerse themselves in a Barbie world while exploring the internet's vast expanse.
