Sales of the pink Birkenstocks that Margot Robbie wore in Barbie are through the roof — here’s where to get them and other pink-tastic dupes

Out of all the fantastic outfits in the Barbie movie, there was one that stood out to us and got us frantically searching online the moment we left the theatres. Yup, it's those pink Birkenstock sandals that Barbie (Margot Robbie) paired with a white tee, jeans and a blazer.

Without revealing any spoilers, let’s just say that we weren’t alone in searching for those pretty Birkenstock sandals that Margot donned in that iconic scene.

While the Birkenstock Arizona sandals have seen a resurgence in recent years, the versatile double-strapped slides received yet another major boost, thanks to Barbie. According to reports, searches for these sandals soared 110 per cent after the movie was released.

But where do you get the exact pair that was seen in the movie? We managed to hunt down the exact pair — it’s Birkenstock’s Arizona Big Buckle Natural Leather Patent sandals, a fashionably delightful pair which features the updated larger buckles (the original buckles are squarish and smaller) in silver. Unlike the usual Birkenstock sandals which have a brown cork footbed, this pair is swathed in the same baby pink patent leather that features on the Arizona’s signature double straps.

Of course, with the resurgence of interest in Birkenstocks after the Barbie movie, it goes without saying that the pink Birks are now sold out all over the interwebs. You can sign up for a notification on the Birkenstock US website to get notified when it gets back in stock and shell out US$170 (S$226) when or if it happens.

But those aren't the only pair of Birkenstocks to get a cameo in Barbie. In one scene, Weird Barbie (Kate McKinnon) gives Barbie a choice of footwear before the latter heads out of Barbieland, one of which was a pair of brown Birkenstocks, which are still available on Amazon.

But if it's pink-tastic Birkenstocks you’re after, there's still hope despite its sold-out status. We scoured the internet for alternatives that are just as fab and wouldn’t look out of place in Barbie’s wardrobe. There are even some wallet-friendly lookalikes that you can buy, like, right now.
