I mean, I already liked the video before this, but I wish I could give you more than one like, because this MUST happen.

[@Darxyanne]

Yes please count the extra likes in the comments, you absolutely have to keep this dress! Take it from someone older who has more than one garment on my why-did-I-ever-let-that-one-get-away list, that dress is STUNNING on you and deserves to be worn by someone who looks so amazing in it!

[@Lisared023]

​@@DarxyanneI so agree with you!!

[@horsesgirl16]

You HAVE to 💗💗💗😁

[@komal4543]

Please wear it to the cinema it’ll be such a slay omfggg

[@RecipeRepository]

One of the things that Mattel has always done is that they send their product designers to fashion week in Milan. They would then make sure that the next Barbie releases were based on those designs. That meant that Barbie was always wearing the same styles by the time they got to the American public.

[@evasmojang]

that's so neat

[@zoommiesbay]

Yeah i think they also hired people who worked in fashion to design as well

[@clawdwil]

Well back in the day because the new one do not have any fashion in their fashion

[@kyrak23]

no cause this is actually so good

[@seraphina2293]

I have so much respect for the Mattel company

[@MsRicki808]

okay but the heart shoes having holes for the sweat vent is genius

[@Ellbat]

LITERALLY GAME CHANGING

[@sarahpaesfrare4776]

Whoever had this idea needs a raise

[@YuniX2]

I'm honestly so impressed by how fashionable most of these outfits actually are. I always thought Barbie's outfits were ridiculous but seeing them on you, they are actually fire. Especially that heart dress, wow.

[@nikolett6981]

second outfit is definitely a 10/10 both for wearability and for recreation although I would've maybe liked to see it with the other corset as well

[@frogaroo]

yes!!!!! i wanted to see the other corset so bad it looked so cute

[@peggyjoek]

Agreed 🥰 love it 🥰🥰

[@jj-if6it]

@@frogaroo may as well since she'd already bought it!

[@dbdnights]

I CANNOT believe how cute all of these outfits were as real clothing. I loved every outfit. Also, you are incorrect about the color of the pink dress. It looks phenomenal on you but honestly all of the outfits did. Slay, Queen.

[@professorsparklepants]

The heart shoes are like little girl's plastic dress up shoes for adults. AND I ADORE THEM.

[@hodaaghaei]

How on earth did you find a matching green leather pants and jacket set?! How in demand is this combination? 😂😂 I absolutely loved outfit #1 and want it!!

[@aminaa5824]

Honestly

[@littlereddragon]

pistachio green is everywhere right now!

[@Nika-ig9zi]

It's incredible how much the corset added to the heart dress! That one's definitely my favourite outfit

[@megs9520]

The leg warmer/tee shirt Barbie outfit is the best comfy Halloween costume idea ever!!

[@Upper_echelon_exotics]

Yeah it's cute!

[@Upper_echelon_exotics]

That was my favorite outfit. I also like the heart dress. Not on the Barbie though on the person. Lol 😂

[@ChickItsAwesome]

As a girl with wide feet, I feel like I must say 3 things. 1. Thank you for the compliment. I feel honored and I truly appreciate it. 2. I'm surprised you could find heels like that. It's actually pretty hard to find shoes when you have flat feet and I've yet to find a heel that's high, yet comfortable for my feet. 3. I personally am actually pretty clumsy. I fall plenty, but I'm told it's because I don't have a strong enough core so… there's that. Wide feet definitely aren't everything! 😊

[@SobrietyandSolace]

I have a wide forefoot and flexible flat feet. They are duck feet on the ground but I need a massive arch in heels. I don’t know why heels try to put your feet at a 45 degree slant instead of being more like 90 degrees

[@hiso6ix9ine89]

Have you checked asos out? They have a lot wide fit shoes online

[@elsiestormont1366]

Flat feet! Reminds me of my "Barbie" doll from Christmas 1969. She wasn't Barbie. My sister got a lovely Barbie with long brunette locks and I got Barbie's groovy teenage sis, Francie with her short curled bob and psychedelic hip-hugger bell bottoms, hot pink crop top and FLAT FEET! It was so hard to find more shoes for poor Francie. She basically only had the single pair of hot pink flats and that was it! And really, none of Barbie's clothes ever fit her slender flat-chested figure. Poor Francie. But I loved her anyway.

[@IonIsFalling7217]

The heart dress combo is stunning, and the shoes are worth every penny. 102/20

[@iamasmokedchicken]

3:43 Ngl I'd actually wear that out if I had it 8:28 Now I want to buy shoes... 10:28 That is easily the pinkest outfit I've ever seen in a video 12:05 I know a few people who dress like this daily, they're fun outfits to wear from what I've heard 17:16 You look stunning in all of these outfits, but this is definitely my favorite. I think I know what I want for Christmas now Amazing video, and I hope your bank account heals

[@clrmgcbarbie]

I think they have enchanted evening dress on unique vintage

[@carolebritain9668]

Not a huge Barbie fan, but I think you did an amazing job at re-creating the outfits, and you looked fantastic in all of them!

[@secretlybees]

The first and the last one were 10/10 in both style and execution - coming for your neck. You need to own that last dress it looks SO good on you

[@robynr447]

Hot Pink dress #3 is a killer! 10/10!! This would be my vote for the one you wear to the cinema!! Instantly identifiable as the fashion icon. A bit of styling for the curls would be the piece de resistance! Please, feel free to reach! Pink Dress #5 is genuinely classy and looks like it would get you onto a Red Carpet, with everyone wondering who you are. 10/10 for everyday wearability.

[@Upper_echelon_exotics]

Oooo the hot pink dress with the heart shoes and the white shawl would be a look! Maybe...I'm not that good with fashion. Lol 😂

[@skatardrummer1]

The 2nd outfit looks 100000000x better than the Barbie version. Yours actually looks modern and fashionable. I have no idea what era Barbie's version was ever fashionable in. Nice job ^.^

[@maryannpeterman8180]

'Loving You' Barbie from the 80s ❤ She came with some amazing accessories too

[@mantra_ephemera]

Love that you found a dress to match the heart dress. Fashion is really fun!!

[@eugeniasnyder8845]

10/10 for all of them except the workout outfit, which gets a 10 for Barbie style, but a People of Walmart 3 for wearability. Deeply in love with the premiere dress! You look amazing!!

[@kelsfen]

First outfit deserves to be worn in public 💚

[@lindseymetcalfe]

I actually think the hot pink dress suits you very well and it's the hair and makeup that were throwing you off and making it look like it doesn't go with your colouring. I'd love to see you give it another go as Elena instead of as Barbie.

[@ahsatansrela1633]

+

[@zoommiesbay]

Yeah hair and makeup are accessories as well. She kept doing low pony tails and it was driving me nuts cause it not only made the wog look bad but it also drags down the look

[@vuautsu358]

This video has the energy of dressing up dolls in childhood, and it's so satisfying. Every outfit looked gorgeous btw!

[@lifeofroos7711]

Absolutely 100 percent I would wear that first outfit all the time it's SO GOOD!! And that last outfit is a total slay, Margot Robbie could never ❤

[@veronicacarmody115]

That last pink outfit is gorgeous. I would find an evening out to wear it somewhere, anywhere! Very fun video.

[@hel2727]

ngl the last outfit was absolutely gorgeous, my favourite for sure

[@celloafterdark4173]

I loved the green suit and the last pink dress - they look amazing!!! They were all 10/10 for recreating the looks also

[@nataliekaye8708]

It'd be tricky to arrange I imagine, but how cool would it be to have a collab with a sewist youtuber (like Bernadette Banner, Rachel Maksy, Prickly Alpaca, etc.)? I recall the corset venture, and a cosplay vid, and obviously fashion vids in general, so I feel like it'd be a good match! Perhaps dressing in different historical eras for a week or learning how to make cosplays, etc. :)

[@gwendickson253]

Rachel energy would be fabulous with Ellbat

[@merelha5930]

Micarah Tewers sews a lot too and does a lot of Barbie/diying so that might be fun too (new to the channel so just adding it as suggestion)

[@martha2944]

Second outfit gets 9/10 for the vibes and accuracy. The shoes get all the points. Love it :)

[@janmarchand7294]

I almost can't believe how good these outfits turned out to be. No shade on you, but damn girl! You did good! And you were totally selling the 1 pound wig. No.1 outfit is the last, you totally rocked it! That dress looks sooooo good on you and is almost a perfect match to Margot's. Dare I say you did it better? I think you did.💖💖

[@autumnaxiom]

The heart outfit is so good! I kept thinking that this is the one you should wear to the cinema instead, it fits the vibe so well but doesn't feel too grandiose or costumy ❤

[@kelseycutting1829]

Such a fun video! I love that you tried barbie outfits that aren't just pink and sparkly. 10/10

[@jbird730]

The answer to your question is a resounding YES! Blue eye shadow was crazy popular in the late 70s and throughout the 80s and very early 90s. Then made the biggest comeback of its life at the turn of the millennium. I didn't say it was okay. I said that's how it was. 😆

[@ashley13267]

Omg those heart shoes are gorgeous! The first and second outfit so far is so cute. Also you looked so beautiful in all these outfits.

[@hattiemaex4077]

I actually wholeheartedly adore how original your video ideas are

[@BiterAvid]

The best barbie inspired looks that I have seen so far. Very entertaining. To me, all the outfits are 10/10. 💗💗💗

[@LeeSophie01]

I actually really liked that the first trousers didn't exactly match. The seconds pair matches so well that it looks almost costume-y

[@tzoe875]

I keep watching beauty influencers using pink eyeshadow and yelling at them through the screen that Barbie wears blue eyeshadow! Fools! Then again, I’m old and in the 70’s when I played with my Barbie head she only had blue and lavender eyeshadow. I could swear that my dolls also had blue eyeshadow like a permanent tattoo. I loved your huge effort in making Barbie come to life! The first outfit was really quite chic. The heart outfit and pink dresses were fantastic too! I think the leg warmer outfit needed some rollerblades! The heart shoes are fantastic! ❤❤ I think a good follow-up video would be how you are styling your Barbie treasures in real life.

[@montyb969]

I guess people really don't know that the people who design for Barbie have actual backgrounds in fashion and are even designed by famous fashion designers like Bob Mackie (who designed costumes for Cher)

[@winterburden]

Thank you so much Ellbat! Hoping for the Oppenheimer outfits video soon! 🙇‍♀️

[@taliavander3855]

I adore the heart dress and the corset!! Seriously, if I saw someone out and about wearing that, I would think they looked so very cute

[@sofiaottoman]

10/10 on Barbie accuracy on all the outfits.

[@colettemitchell3412]

This was such a fun video. You look good in pink. Just saying. It may be your color. They all looked like the barbie outfits. My personal favorite was the one with hearts. I don't think most of them would work in public unless it was a very special occasion. The green jacket outfit was the only one I felt would really work in actual life. You looked smashing in all of them.

[@deliamennitti1948]

You did so welllll ! Everything was amazing

[@S2celffS2]

thanks for the template hahaha using it for my ranking

[@farialmab4723]

*Green was Fantastic, Red was Beyond Words gorgeous, BOTH Pinks were STUNNING on you! Better Than M.R. on BOTH Proportions for Barbie and the LOOK! AMAZING!!!* 💕🤍❣️

[@peetusknee]

i love how you constantly sound like a disney princess in distress it is so endearing 🤣🤣 great video!

[@mollyhorn6977]

Everything is 10/10 im honestly shocked how well you did finding the heart dress

[@emilyhungerford3273]

Such a fun video ❤ I loved the iridescent pants on the first outfit. The heart outfit was absolutely adorable! And yes, I think you should wear a Barbie outfit to see the movie (your pick of outfit cause I think you should feel comfortable while sitting down for 2hrs, haha).

[@doricetimko5403]

Agreed on the pants!

[@Miroslava_Ivanova]

I adore the dedication that went into this video. The heart dress corset combo was so cute and even though I don't usually care about shoes, those heart ones were definitely gorgeous. These all look surprisingly wearable, though the last one would obviously need a bit more of an occasion. Great job!

[@winterthrill3900]

you snapped so hard with these outfits 😍

[@bethmaguire7388]

The third one looked phenomenal on you 😭😭😭😭 the last one too.

[@AndrewD8Red]

Everyone, we NEED 20K likes on this video. Seriously. Come on now. It's a win-win. We get to see EB going to watch the Barbie movie as Barbie and EB would also be able to pay for the outfit from the sweet, sweet ad revenue.

[@maryellenalexander4622]

love the heart shoes, the first pink dress fit you well. the last dress was incredible.

[@Luminocite]

I can’t believe how good this outfits were, in terms of fashion the pink dress is the only one that looks like a bit outdated but still nice right so 10/10 on both categories and 8/10 on wearability on that hot pink dress

[@jj-if6it]

The heart outfit is so pretty! Like seriously wear that out somewhere. And you can totally use the shoes. Iconic!

[@amashley912]

1:40 Disneybounding maybe what you’re referring to - and that first look before you put on the pants and jacket was 1000% Cinderella!

[@marietheotaku94]

The pink outfit gives elle woods vibes and im here for it

[@marinacosta8835]

I don't know how I got here, I never even played with Barbies, but I am surprised how well these outfits translated to real life! You looked great in all of them, but the heart dress + corset combo was the best, in my opinion.

[@anni6097]

The green coat is GIVING!

[@codydody]

GIRL! 10/10 ON EVERYTHING. So good to see you feeling good❤

[@heidisegelke6243]

Green outfit I’d wear right now and I actually have many of those elements in my wardrobe and WILL be wearing! Thank you!!!

[@colormegrumpy]

The second outfit is, hands down, the best. All those hearts and the sleeves and THE SHOES... Oh god.

[@bridgethaines7127]

Those heart shoes are everything. EVERYTHING.

[@briannameyer8464]

The heart outfit 😍 8/10 for matching the doll, 10/10 as its own outfit

[@jadziamerryweather77888]

Loved the heart dress, and also the last outfit. Living my girlhood fashion dreams vicariously through you.

[@alexblair4511]

That last outfit was fire! And I TOTALLY would've fallen for the heart shoes too! ❤😅😊🥰🥰

[@NivInTheNorth]

Literally every outfit actually translates so well!!!! I think for my the heart one was my favorite!

[@sarahsupernova8284]

This vid is great!! I could watch you replicate barbie looks allllll day!!! 😊

[@minagica]

That light pink dress is also fantastic and phenomenal with the sparkly shoes. DAMN!

[@mmorton21]

Love all the Barbie outfits! My favorite outfits are the hot pink dress and the pink evening gown at the end. You did an awesome job recreating them. I am so impressed. That speaks volumes of how hard you worked on the video. Lol Great entertainment Elena!

[@suejohnson6254]

The last pink long dress and stole was perfection, definately 10/10!

[@AndrewD8Red]

Well, this was a surprisingly compelling video. Thanks EB! I really needed a pick-me-up today!

[@thorn-rc9lz]

OBSESSED with producer barbie. 11/10 for both ratings.

[@pinxblossom]

These outfits were all so cute and looked just like the doll!🌸💖

[@sabrinasugar2819]

I really liked the 1st out fit. I fell in love with the heart dress. The shoes, the heart shoes!💕

[@kimmysimmons4787]

All outfits are 10/10. Well done 👏

[@mariahis4359]

THE PINK DRESS #3 IS SOOOO GOOOOOD YOU LOOK SO GOOOD IN IT, IT SUITS YOUR BODY TYPE SO WELLL AGHHHHH

[@sross9501]

This was so much fun though, I love the outfits you chose to recreate, I was surprised that I really liked the green pants and jacket a lot.

[@czrczrczr3]

The first pink dress is so barbie, and the heart shoes are amazing

[@maryhopely6310]

Why didn’t you just use your normal hair for the ginger one. I don’t think its as ginger anymore but I mean it’s closer lmao

[@Ebisamaa]

This is the best ad for House of CB I’ve ever seen, the last dress looks incredible on you!

[@EyE-EyE-ie5wr]

[@WanusaWesseling]

the heart outfit was perfect, u were a doll for a minute or so; the nude dress was amazing too

[@teamo8474]

The last one is breath taking and im in love with the heart shoes

[@williamsstephens]

The first three were sensational, especially the green!

[@Haliel2012]

I like the first one for wearability. The darker satiny pants are not bad with the coat at all! The heart outfit is second favorite, just very campy would I actually wear it anywhere. You looked fantastic in the two pink dresses!

[@healthysecondhalf2568]

That last pink dress is amazing, looks fantastic on you. This was fun. Thanks!

[@mackenziebradshaw9514]

You're kidding!!! I love ALL these fits!! The heart outfit I give 10/10 for matching the Barbie outfit, and I give 8/10 for daily wear, but I LOVE it on a cult couture level omg!

[@nataliechongtai6430]

Those heart shoes made that ensemble. Worth it! I don’t like green but the matching jacket and trousers were stylish and professional looking.

[@v.m303]

Gosh, that second outfit is STUNNING

[@SteampunkPrincess]

Okay the heart dress outfit is a 10/10 for both! Loved it so much!

[@thepinkprincesskatie]

I think the last two are the best, both for fashion and accuracy. And, yes, you SHOULD see Barbie in the last outfit.

[@AngelicaAgelviz]

aaaahhhh the final dress is a DREAM!!! The color is so stunning on you 😭💜

[@Kenny-du6pt]

genuinely like 10/10 for matching the outfits!!!

[@heatherduke7703]

That hot pink dress looks beautiful with your skin! It’s gorgeous with the blond hair

[@LaineyBug2020]

Outfit 5- 11 or 12 for wearability. I love the slightly different tones for the gloves and shoes, I LOVE the stoal! I *LOVE* the actual cut of the dress! The colors go so much better with your pallet than the other pink dress. It definitely gets a 10 for vibe match but only a 9.8 for a technical match. I give it a 20 all around because you came alive in that fit my dear! You should definitely think about investing in that dress as a keeper!

[@sarahmitchell821]

Holy crap that last dress (sans Barbie trappings) is absolutely stunning on you!

[@anastasiademidova351]

The first one is stunning!

[@che_pe_ha7425]

THE LAST ONE IS JUST STUNNING OMG
