This has to be one of my favorite Barbie movies since I was little. The soundtrack is beautiful; even to this day, it gets stuck in my head.

So, the movie begins with Barbie on set, acting. The movie is some Princess and the Pea knock-off that involves zombie peas. She hates it, so mid-action she yells “cut,” which gets her fired from the movie and leads her to question her acting career. Later, she gets a call from Ken, and he wants to break up with her. This leads her to question her career and her relationship, and she wants to go to Paris to visit her aunt, Millicent, a renowned fashion designer. Her friends Teresa and Nikki tell her she needs to get away from acting and Ken to think, so she does. She books a flight to Paris and blocks Ken and sets off. When she does get to her Aunt Millicent’s design studio, she finds out it’s closing, and her aunt is quitting fashion and taking on multiple new hobbies. At first, she like ” why would you do that, you love fashion and designing and your amazing at it,” which her aunt replies with soemthing like, “I do, but my design are old and there are constantly new designers with fresher ideas” “If your audence doesnt like what your doing, does it make sense to keep on doing it?” ( She’s lowkey real for that). This leads Barbie to drop the conversation because she sounds like a hypocrite.

Later, she meets Elise, an aspiring fashion designer, and they start hanging out. As their friendship progresses, Elise shows her a wardrobe full of magical fairy creatures called flairies (flaire fairies). These flares basically just make a designer’s designs better by adding a little bit of Glimmer, Shimmer, and Shyne (these are also the three flares’ names).

While this is all happening in Paris with Barbie, Ken just found out that he broke up with Barbie, and he’s panicked. Turns out, when he was reading a script about a breakup for Raquelle, she recorded him and sent it to Barbie. In his panic, he tries to call Barbie and explain, but he’s been blocked, so he calls Niiki and Teresa. They tell him instead of just trying to call her, he should do a grand gesture to show her he loves her and didn’t mean to break up with her. So he books a plane ticket to Paris without a second thought and a suitcase. He goes through all these bumps in the road, like getting stranded at the Paris airport and having to get a ride from a pig farmer.

Barbie and Elise are planning to do a last fashion show to say goodbye to Aunt Millicent as she leaves the fashion world. She and Elise create designs and go shopping for materials. While they are planning, Aunt Millicent’s competitor, Jacqueline, and Delphine plan to steal their designs and also do a fashion show with them. While spying on them, they discover the flaries.

One night, after creating the designs, they say goodbye to the flaires and leave the boutique. Later, the flairies get kidnapped by Jaqueline and Delphine and are forced to shimmer, glitter, and shine their designs even though the flaires tell them they can’t. They even tell Jaqueline that the flairies need to like the design for the magic to work, and if they don’t, something bad will happen.

When the day of the fashion show arrives, Barbie and Elise realise the flaires are gone, and they need to cancel the show. Barbie refuses and tells them they have to do the fashion show and believe in themselves or something like that (Genuinely don’t remember what was said during this part of the movie, since I was too focused on the fashion show). So they proceed with the fashion show.

While the fashion show is happening, Barbie’s dog Sequin, her aunt’s dog Jacques, and a cat, Jilliana, rescue the flaires from Jaqueline’s store. As the fashion show is happening, Ken appears and proclaims his love to Barbie ( Mid-show, while his pants are torn and his panties are out, btw). As that is happening, the flaires come and shimmer, glimmer, and shine all the clothing and change Ken’s bummy outfit into a full set suit.

Jaqueline’s fashion show became a disaster, and all the clothing on the models melted and began to stink, so everyone had to evacuate the show.

At the end of the movie, they get invited to a famous designer’s mansion for a party.
