Man bun Ken? Barbie’s new crew just got a millenial makeover

Jun 20, 2017

So, Barbie and friends have just updated their wardrobes, and honestly we could probably do with a few fashion tips from the stylish new crew.

The latest Barbie Fashionistas collection features 40 new dolls with seven body types, 11 skin tones, 28 hairstyles and various eye colours for "the ultimate storytelling experience."

The new crew is the most diverse yet, so whether you like your ken dolls with cornrows, freckles or glasses – there's something for everyone.

Barbie also rocks some pretty on-trend hairstyles including, blue, partially shaved and afro. She also comes in all shapes and sizes ranging from small and petite, to tall and curvy.

But it's Ken's new man bun that really got everyone talking.
