🪩 Plus a special Barbie World DJ set! As the sun sets, immerse yourself in a musical homage to all things Barbie!

💿 Celebrate decades of Barbie’s iconic style and spirit with a playlist curated to capture the essence of this beloved figure-from classic pop anthems to modern chart-toppers that embody Barbie's timeless charm.
