Pretty in Pink: Shop the Cutest Pink Homecoming Dresses That Will Make Barbie Proud (2024)

While there are hundreds of color options to choose from when it comes to evening dresses, now more than ever is the right time to wear a pink homecoming dress. Why, you may be wondering? Well, the Barbiecore trend has taken over the fashion scene and now is your chance to join in on the fuschia-colored fun for Homecoming season.

If you're unfamiliar with the term (you've probably seen it, though), just know that it's all about rocking hot pink (the signature shade for Barbie) from head to toe. And you can thank the soon-to-be-released Barbie film for the trend. Ever since we've seen BTS footage of Ryan Gosling and Margot Robbie on set in their stunning outfits, everyone seems to be embracing the fuschia shade.

And the grip that Barbiecore has on society is not loosening. We’ve also seen the saturated hue transition from the film set to the runway and beyond, and hot pink just seems to be getting hotter (although slime green is quickly catching up as the next it-hue). Given its universally flattering shade, fuchsia is probably top of mind as you search for the perfect Homecoming dress, but don’t feel obligated to reach for the same color. Think outside the doll box.

Sidestep the trend with equally gorgeous dresses in a spectrum of rosy shades for the big dance. We found Barbie-approved minis, princess gowns fit for a queen nomination, and Y2K prints worthy of Depop. In other words, there’s a pink homecoming dress fit for any aesthetic. Shop 12 perfect ways to think pink for the big dance, below.
