Barbie movie Ryan Gosling Ken costumes outfits ranked
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Ken's outfits in the Barbie movie steal the show, even if the doll played by Ryan Gosling has spent his life playing second-fiddle to Margot Robbie's titular hero. Ken has always functioned as an accessory to Barbie; he was created in 1961 as a response to requests asking that Barbie get a boyfriend.
He's wearing a dark pink button-down shirt and white pants. It's a hilariously bland camping look without any of the trappings required for outdoor survival, perhaps foreshadowing how unprepared Ken is for the real world. However, this Ken outfit does perfectly coordinate with Barbie's camping outfit and the camper they are using in the brief sequence of their travels. It's nothing special compared to some of his bolder outfits in the movie, but still a fun one.
14 Ken's Space Outfit Ken Doesn't Need A Helmet To Breathe In Space Further adding to the fun absurdity of Ken and Barbie's travel, they eventually find themselves in outer space, flying through the cosmos. Ken wears this spacesuit while flailing through outer space, trying to catch up with Barbie's rocket that she simply sits on, seemingly unbothered by almost losing him to the stars.
12 Ken's Sailor Outfit Ken's Look For The High Seas The best outfits found in Ken and Barbie's traveling montage find the pair donning some very memorable nautical outfits as they take to the high seas. Ken is matched to Barbie again, wearing a pink-and-white-striped shirt along with a pink sailor's cap. They appear to be wearing white pants, but those cannot fully be seen with the way the sequence is shot.
The black-on-black is an unexpected style choice for Ken but looks very cool on him. It is another visually stunning moment from the movie, with the costume style working perfectly against the empty soundstage setting. There's thematic relevance too, since wearing all black is incredibly juxtaposed to the pastels and pinks of Barbieland. Ken's now-iconic fur coat also makes an early appearance during this montage, pairing well with the black shirt and jeans.
It's quite an eye-catching casual nighttime outfit, and the white monogrammed "K" on Ken's jacket is a nice additional detail. Like all of the Ken outfits in Barbie, it has some thematic relevance too. Blue is traditionally seen as the "male" color, and the opposite of "pink" in traditional binary-gender aesthetics.
7 Ken's Western Cowboy Outfit Ken Embraces Horses And The Patriarchy In the real world, Barbie and Ken find Western outfits at a convenience store. It is hilarious that they think these types of outfits are the best options for blending in. Ken dons a black button-down with white flowers and white fringe, a black belt and pants, and a white cowboy hat and shoes. Completing the look is a pink bandana used as a necktie, adding a pop of the usual Barbie pink to Ken's ensemble.
Related Barbie Soundtrack Guide - Every Song In The Movie & When They Play The 2023 Barbie movie includes a variety of new songs from artists like Lizzo, Billie Eilish, and even Ryan Gosling. Here's a Barbie soundtrack guide. However, it also shows the signs of Ken's lack of imagination when he can choose his outfits without having to consider how they will match Barbie. It also isn't as fun as one of the outfits he wears while competing with the other Kens in the movie. It's as though now that he feels like he's the one on top, he's not sure what to do with himself.
