LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: For the longest time, the internet was divided on whether they will spend July 21, 2023, watching ‘Barbie’ or ‘Oppenheimer’. However, as the release dates for these movies come closer and closer, fans have shifted their focus on what they’re going to wear when they go watch these movies. Admittedly, ‘Barbie’ and ‘Oppenheimer’ are two very different movies with very different themes. One is pink, pastel, filled with song, dance, and comedy, while the other is based on how the atomic bomb was made.

Of course, many fans have yet to decide whether they will watch ‘Barbie’ first or ‘Oppenheimer’ because it feels like an impossible choice. Greta Gerwig and Christopher Nolan are both groundbreaking filmmakers, and these two movies have been very anticipated by moviegoers, fans, and critics. So, while fans wait for the release, this might be a good time to decide what you’re going to wear for these movies!

‘I’m so f**king ready’

Fans are thrilled about the ‘Barbie’ and ‘Oppenheimer’ releases and have made peace with the fact that they might have to watch both movies on the same day. One fan tweeted, “For those who are doing the Oppenheimer/Barbie double bill with me, I might wear a suit for Oppenheimer and then during the break pop out and switch into a multicolored tracksuit for Barbie. You know I would haha #Barbenheimer.”

Some fans have decided to switch it up as one wrote, “I’m gonna wear Queencard PR fit to watch Oppenheimer and wear something Peaky Blinder-esque to watch Barbie 😃.”

Some fans are truly confused but definitely want to be a part of this outfit trend as one tweeted, "Is mofos wearing pink to the Barbie, does that mean Oppenheimer mofos have to wear suit n ties, since y’all talking about going to war.”



 



 



 

Fans have even decided to advise Cillian Murphy on what to wear for ‘Oppenheimer’ premiere as a social media user said, “Cillian Murphy has the chance to wear a Barbie pink suit to the Oppenheimer premiere.”

This day will go down in history as two big movies hit the big screen and fans are ready. One social media user wrote, “Going to wear my leather jacket and leather boots for oppenheimer and my cutest pinkest mye mye mye outfit for barbie i'm so fucking ready.”

While everyone is excited about these, some haven't forgotten about 'Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One' as one fan reminded, “I must wear a darker skort specifically for the Oppenheimer, and complement it with an attractive pinkish shirt that suits Barbie. I feel well-prepared for them, but I must emphasize that my appearance for Dead Reckoning will be remarkably stylish and visually appealing. 😏♥️.” Looks like everyone is gearing up for this double feature in July!
