It’s Barbie’s world, and we’re all just living in it!
The highly anticipated Barbie movie premiered in Jamaica on Tuesday, and the 60-foot pink carpet did not disappoint. The splashy event, held at the Carib 5 Cinema, was littered with looks straight out of Barbie’s dream closet, as tots, tweens, and lifelong Barbie fans took the opportunity to view the film a day before its official local release.
The event — held by UCA Jamaica and in support of the Jamaica Cancer Society — was transformed into full-on Barbieland, with endless picture-perfect moments to be had, thanks to event planner Shikima Hinds and her team.
