Where to Get Margot Robbie’s Pink Birkenstocks from the Barbie Final Scene
Spoilers ahead about the ending of Barbie (2023). If you don’t want to be spoiled, turn back now!
At the end of Greta Gerwig’s Barbie movie, Stereotypical Barbie (Margot Robbie) tells Barbie creator Ruth Handler (Rhea Perlman) that she doesn’t feel like Barbie anymore. She decides to be human, and the final scene finds Barbie in the backseat of Gloria’s (America Ferrera) car, wearing a tan blazer. Gloria, her husband (Ferrera’s actual husband Ryan Piers Williams), and her daughter Sasha (Ariana Greenblatt) drop Barbie off and wish her luck. We see her step out of the car wearing pink Birkenstocks, and give her name as Barbara Handler, telling the receptionist: “I’m here to see my gynecologist.”
That final line is one for the ages, but we’re particularly enamored with Barbara’s pink shimmer Birkenstocks, which represent a twist on Barbie’s first journey into the real world. They’ve got the classic double strap design (each has a pink metal buckle!) and the upper part of the shoe is made from super soft suede that makes the shoe even more comfortable.

The final pink Birkenstock sandals, a nod at the ones Weird Barbie first gives her, show Barbie/Barbara making her own decision about being in the real world—but putting her own twist on them. Instead of the tan Arizona sandals, she chooses blush pink. And honestly, we all should too!
