The Best Ken Costumes & Outfits That Give Kenergy
Be the man behind the tan this Halloween with a Ken costume to rival Barbie.
The Barbie movie has no doubt been the topic of conversation since its release in the summer, mostly for its stellar casting, didactic messaging and, of course, the creative genius in the film’s marketing efforts.
And while the limelight has been shining upon Margot Robbie’s head and the other Barbie cast, it’s time to give Ken the attention he deserves — for his outfits. Giving Barbie a run for her money, Ken is just as stylish and cool enough to have everyone replicating his outlandish outfits.
A style icon to all genders, Ken’s outfits are the envy of many. So why not channel some ‘Kenergy’ this Halloween and don a denim vest and some (drawn-on) abs.
Even you, yes you, are Kenough.
