Fans will be searching for Easter Eggs for years. Here are ten of our favourite cultural moments we spotted from the movie, from amazing costumes to movie references, and then the more political subtexts including digs at incel culture, the fragility of men and world politics.

The film itself plays with the creation myth: Barbie is created before Ken, and like in theAdam and Eve tale, her problemsbegin when she commits a sin.
