runDisney Wine & Dine Costume Inspiration: Barbie (and Ken)
Are you looking for costume inspiration for the upcoming Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend at Walt Disney World coming up in November? The race weekend takes place in early November, which is just a few months after the Barbie movie hit the screens and had a cultural moment. If you're looking for a trendy costume idea and don't want to go for the race themes, think about old-new feminist icon Barbie (and Ken) for inspiration.
The race weekend will take place November 2-5 2023, with a 5K on Friday, 10K on Saturday, and half marathon on Sunday. The races have been sold out for a while, though bibs do become available sporadically on the site (follow this Telegram account to get notifications for Disney race availability: runDisney Race Availability).
Pink Gingham Barbie Cosplay Skater Dress for Running
Dress up to fight the patriarchy with this darling pink gingham pattern skater dress. Note that this is a polyester/spandex blend garment; it is not made of true gingham fabric.
This costume dress is great for park days, movie nights, theme park bounding, and everyday wear. It's also great if you're looking to stand out at a race event, from 5Ks to marathons!
Barbie and Ken Costumes
Amazon has quite a few Barbie themed costumes inspired by the movie, and other pieces that would work as costume starters. These aren't exactly designed for running, so they are probably best suited for a 5K race where chafing (hopefully) won't be an issue. Consider wearing a costume over performance clothing or using parts of a costume alongside running clothes for a more comfortable race. Here are some ideas to get you started:
