On Barbie premiere days, we wear pink. The opening weekend of Barbie was the time to get all glammed up. We camped out in front of Cinemark Perkins Rowe XD to see what moviegoers were wearing during the first Saturday screenings of the film. With shows running every hour, we watched as friends dolled up in Barbie tops and a stylishly dressed mommy-and-me duo filtered through. There was surely a sea of pink ensembles not just at the Rowe but around Baton Rouge that day—and all over the country.
