You Can Sleep in Barbie's Dream House in Malibu Again
Less than a month remains until Greta Gerwig's "Barbie" film premiere: the highly anticipated film, starring Margot Robbie in the lead role, arrives in cinemas on July 21. In anticipation of the film, the Airbnb team has once again transformed a Malibu mansion into Barbie's dream house. A similar transformation was made for the first time in 2019 when Barbie's 60th anniversary was celebrated.
According to Airbnb, the story begins with Barbie going away for the weekend and handing over the keys to her boyfriend Ken. However, Ken, having decorated the home to his own taste, decides to list it on the platform so that some lucky visitors can also experience it. Since Ken admits that he prefers the beach to mathematics, there is an opportunity to stay in the house for two nights for free.

In the sunny Malibu house, you can feel Ken's energy: everywhere you encounter items that hint at his hobbies (yellow and pink Impala roller skates and a surfboard). Those who wish can search for their inner cowboy and practice line dancing on the outdoor dance floor or sing a serenade at sunset with Ken's guitar.
The bravest can dive into Ken's magnificent wardrobe to find suitable beachwear and then lounge by the pool.

What was the house like in 2019 when Barbie was responsible for the interior design?
Beautiful ocean views were possible to enjoy in 2019 as well, but the interior design was many times more glamorous and in Barbie's characteristic bold and colorful style. Every room – from the hobby room and private cinema to the pool and outdoor meditation corner – reflected Barbie's essence.

In the home description, which was written as if Barbie herself had written it, it was noted that "The Dream House has three floors with ocean views and open spaces where it's pleasant to spend time with friends. My pool is the perfect place to cool off from the California sun. And no dream house is complete without a slide."

Since Barbie loves hosting, she had also invited inspiring and successful friends. World champion fencer Ibtihaj Muhammad gave individual fencing lessons to guests, and pilot and aerospace engineer Jill Meyers introduced the Columbia Memorial Space Center to encourage visitors to reach for the stars.
Since Barbie is always glamorous, famous hairstylist Jen Atkin also visited her, and renowned local chef Gina Clarke-Helm was responsible for fresh and delicious food, giving cooking lessons in Barbie's spacious kitchen.
