Melissa's dress consisted of a pink push-up bra, a bright blue bodysuit, a pink belt, a pair of ballerina tights, a pair of light pink leg warmers, and a pair of strapped nude high heels. The Bravo show star completed her look with a pair of light pink wristbands on each of her wrists, a few rings, and a light pink headband. She wore her long dark hair down and had it slightly styled as she appeared to pose like a plastic doll.

Meanwhile, the second photo featured Melissa and Joe posing together in front of their cars. Melissa donned the same Barbie outfit that she wore in the first picture as she made another robot pose. However, Joe donned a light blue shirt that had the name 'Ken' in huge pink font across the center of the tee, a pair of light blue jeans, a pair of white sneakers, and a white baseball cap. The real estate developer looked to the side of camera as he stared at his stunning wife.

Both photos appeared to be taken in front of the couple's New Jersey house. Alongside the photos, Melissa wrote, "Italian Barbie & Ken 💖 Should've held this costume for this year huh? #barbiemovie #rhonj."
