22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest People
Malibu Barbie Cafe, Chicago

Some friends have a birthday party at a pop-up Malibu Barbie Café in Chicago, Illinois. After the release of the Barbie Movie, which was a huge box office success, Barbie became a cultural phenomenon and dominated the media, fashion, and social media. The color pink was all the rage, and three Barbie Malibu Café’s sprung up in New York City, The Mall of America in Minneapolis, and Chicago.
