How to Wear a Leather Jacket, As Seen in Barbie Imperial's NYC Outfits
1. Off-Duty Cool in Chocolate Brown Leather
Barbie kept it sleek yet relaxed in a rich chocolate brown leather jacket, proving that deep tones can look just as cool as classic black. She layered it over a beige top and paired it with blue denim jeans, creating a neutral palette. Adding a pop of color, she carried Gucci’s Jackie 1961 bag in Ancora Red—a modern take on the house’s archival design. She finished off her look with On Cloud sneakers for comfort and Chanel sunglasses for that effortless NYC-girl touch.
2. Courtside Chic in a Black Leather Jacket
For a Brooklyn Nets game, Barbie leaned into all-black elegance with a structured leather jacket over a semi-sheer black top, styled with belted black denim jeans for a cinched-in silhouette. The highlight of her look was her ultra-luxe Hermès Birkin, which instantly elevated her ensemble and gave it a refined, polished appeal. The outfit was equal parts edgy and sophisticated—exactly the kind of high-fashion energy you’d want to bring to an NBA game.
