Barbiecore was the defining fashion trend of last summer, and some of our favorite stars have given us major déjà vu with their recent red carpet appearances. Hot pink dresses are making a major comeback, and these five stars deserve credit for putting barbiecore back on the map.

Rachel Bilson

Rachel Bilson channeled her inner Barbie while attending a recent The O.C. x 21Seeds event, where she hit the red carpet in the cutout Valentino mini-dress, and paired the look with hot pink accessories.

Aja Naomi King

Aja Naomi King brought this fashion trend to the Cannes Film Festival. She hit the red carpet in a voluminous hot pink skirt by Miu Miu and paired it with a green crystal embellished top.

Blake Lively

Blake Lively made some pretty amazing red carpet choices while promoting her new film It Ends with Us. She found a perfect partner in crime in Dauphinette and wore several dresses by this brand, including this flower-embellished hot pink ensemble.

Daisy Kent

Daisy Kent was one of the best dressed celebrities at this year’s ACM Awards, where she rocked this strapless bright pink dress by Maria Lucia Hohan.
