    Barbie Cosplay Dominates Dragon Con 2023

    Mary Anne ButlerBy

    Hi Barbie!

    No matter where you turn, a collection of Barbies (and Kens!) is everywhere at Dragon Con 2023. We were kind of expecting this, considering how well received the billion-dollar film has been. The annual convention which takes place over Labor Day in Atlanta, Georgia is often THE place to see the most creative cosplays around. This year was no different!

    But we’re here to talk Barbie.

    Large group photoshoots are one of the big draws, and the Barbieland gathering was pretty impressive. In this video from our own Bill Watters, you can see just how popular pink cosplay is this year.

    Yes, of COURSE there were several “Weird Barbies,” like this great group captured by our friend, Melody Gonzales.
