London Turns Pink For Barbie’s Best. Day. Ever.
Spotted a hot pink cab traversing London recently? Snapped a pic of a poster in the wild? Copped a beautiful branded Barbie item? London is about to get more hot pink than ever, with a Barbie takeover tonight (12 July) from 9.30pm, including Barbie’s car, a pink tardis (celebrating brand new Doctor Who, Ncuti Gatwa’s appearance in the movie), and a renamed underground station: Barbican becomes ‘Barbie Can’.
