After the recent release of the highly-anticipated Barbie movie, starring Margot Robbie as Barbie and Ryan Gosling as Ken, the world has been officially diagnosed with a strong case of Barbie fever. Bright pink has become summer's biggest color and Barbiecore has taken over the fashion industry. Robbie has only continued feeding the frenzy as she sported real Barbie doll-inspired looks during her press tour.

If you're looking for the perfect Ken outfit to match your "Kenergy," L'OFFICIEL has found the top 9 essentials on how to dress like Ken.
