Barbie Instagram Recreates 2015's Iconic Moments
No longer a completely vapid character anymore, Barbie is making a comeback, thanks in part to this awesome Instagram that recreates iconic 2015 moments with Barbie. In each image, Barbie is dressed up and recreating an instantly recognizable pop culture moment from 2015. The moments reenacted by Barbie require no introduction, and even if you don't think about them regularly, you'll definitely go "Oooooohhhh! I remember that!" when you see them. It's a great retrospective of a generally weird and wonderful year in pop culture. Moments range from Caitlyn Jenner's introduction to the world to Amy Schumer's red carpet antics with Kim Kardashian and Kayne West to recreating Adele's "Hello" comeback.
The Barbie Instagram account, @adollworldafterall, was created by Swedish magazine Editor Ronny Larsson, who calls himself "The Swedish Geppetto". Larsson's Instagram byline also says he "never got to play with dolls as a child. This is me catching up." And what a catch up! The account is absolutely delightful, and a great trip down 2015's memory lane as we launch, face first, into 2016, which is already going by tearingly fast. (Seriously, right? Or is it just me? WHERE DID THE LAST WEEK GO?) Here are some of the best recreated pop culture moments of 2015 with Barbie:
1. Demi Lovato's Mugs
When Demi Lovato was asked what her favorite dish was she amazingly and earnestly, but jokingly, said it was a mug.
2. Heidi Klum's Halloween Costume
Heidi Klum is the queen of Halloween, and her iconic Halloween party this year was no exception to her jaw-dropping, amazing array of costumes. Dressing up as Jessica Rabbit, Klum was totally transformed.
3. Adele's "Hello" Video
No matter what else happened in 2015, it's likely always to be remembered as Adele's come back year. Her release of "Hello" was a record-smashing breakthrough, and has been commemorated by Barbie in kind.
4. Ariana Grande Licking Donuts
Remember when everyone got irrationally upset about Ariana Grande licking a bunch of donuts? I mean, it was gross as hell, and definitely the behavior of a spoiled individual, but also, who cares?
5. Caitlyn Jenner's Vanity Fair Shoot
When Bruce Jenner transitioned to Caitlyn Jenner, she revealed her fabulous self to the world in a beautiful and elegant Vanity Fair shoot. Barbie carries it off quite well too, don't you think?
6. Nicki Minaj Confronting Miley Cyrus
"What's good?" will forever be part of the cultural consciousness as the ultimate hater-comeback. When Nicki Minaj went for Miley Cyrus' jugular on stage at the VMAs, the Internet nearly broke.
