Fans, many dressed in Barbie pink, lined up to get a glimpse of their favourite Barbie and Ken dolls in person.

Some went the extra mile and even dressed in costumes that will be seen in the movie - this is Barbie's iconic roller skating outfit.

Margot Robbie has been using looks from classic Barbie dolls to inspire her many outfits in the lead up to the movie's release, and last night was no different - her Vivienne Westwood dress was based on Enchanted Evening Barbie, a doll released in the 1960s.

Her ever-loyal Ken was of course at the event outside the Leicester Square Cineworld too.

Lots of other Kens were spotted on the pink carpet as well - here's Simu Liu, who also plays Marvel character Shang-Chi.

Speaking of the Timelord, a pink Tardis was spotted next to London Bridge this week, in the crossover no-one knew they needed.

On Friday 21 July Barbie will be hitting the big screen in both the US and UK where it has been given a 12A film rating - maybe there will be more people in fancy dress at the cinemas too.
