What is the ChatGPT Barbiecore trend? Here's how to turn yourself into a doll using AI
Social media and artificial intelligence (AI) have reunited once again for a trend where users are transforming themselves into Barbie dolls.
Using ChatGPT, users are transforming photographs into AI dolls depending on the instructions they provide.
This comes after social media was taken over by the Ghibli-style AI frenzy.
Here we explain what the trend is, how it started and how to turn yourself into a Barbie doll.

The "Barbiecore" aesthetic's lasting appeal is expanded upon by the most recent wave of AI art creation.
This time, people want to replicate the toy-like stylisation of action figures in boxes, along with all of their accessories.
With its glossy, staged commercial air, the images are reminiscent of Barbie advertisements from the 1990s and 2000s, which frequently featured logos, taglines, and made-up characters.

Similar to a recent trend in which people employed AI to transform themselves into artwork inspired by Studio Ghibli, the style relates to interest in Barbie dolls.
Although the movement has no one creator, it gained popularity in the first part of 2025. Some TikTok users have used the hashtag #BarbieBoxChallenge to highlight the boxed avatars in their videos.
With the increasing availability of generative AI tools, you could be one prompt away from being an action figure.
First, go to ChatGPT and create an account or log in. Either the website or the app can be used for this.
Next, submit a photo of yourself that you would like turned into an action figure by clicking the Add button. A crisp, full-length photo that shows off your entire outfit is ideal.
Fill in the blanks by copying and pasting the prompt below the picture: 'Create a realistic action figure (Barbie doll) of the person in this photo. The doll should be full figure and displayed in its original clear plastic box packaging. At the top of the box is the name of the toy "-". In the packaging, next to the figure are the toy's accessories including ...'
Your Barbie doll image will appear when you send the message to the chatbot. Now, be patient, because it can take a while.
If you don't like what you see, continue entering more information and ChatGPT will alter the doll to your liking.
It will become more specific if you include extra information, like the box's colour or a phrase you would want to see at the bottom. Use your imagination!
Attempt to use a different image if the one you're using isn't clear enough or the doll doesn't look like you.

'People are travelling for our food': India takeaway go viral for 'tangy' treat
A Viral Indian food spot is among the top 10 finalists for the Glasgow Times' Best Takeaway. Asian Tandoori, based in Cambuslang, is in the running alongside Catch (Netherlee), Chippy Mahal (Kilsyth), Clay Oven Tandoori (Giffnock), Kam Wa Chinese (Glasgow), Levant (Glasgow), Rowans Deli (Glasgow), Spring Garden (Clydebank), The Kraken Chippy (Cambuslang) and Umairs (East Kilbride). 'We're so delighted to be recognised and to reach the final, it's very good news,' Adam Ahmed told the Glasgow Times. (Image: Images by Colin Mearns, Newsquest) Adam, who has managed the award-winning establishment for the last 15 years, revealed just what makes them unique. He said: 'This is not just a shop. It's a place where you get free banter and human interaction — which is so important. 'We have good support from the community out there. We have a great connection with our customers.' He added: 'We also do a deal on Thursdays which is half-price pizza night. It means everybody gets fed an affordable dinner at least once a week, and that gives us a bit of satisfaction. 'I don't know anyone else who's doing that.' (Image: Images by Colin Mearns, Newsquest) (Image: Images by Colin Mearns, Newsquest) At the end of last year, the eatery quickly gained national attention after inventing the Chasni Doner. Having posted a video of the creation on TikTok which gathered over 100,000 views, people begun travelling from all over Scotland to try the dish. Adam said: 'We've had people from Perth, Ayrshire, Greenock and Gourock. People are travelling for our food, and it's expanding our customer base steadily. 'The Chasni Doner has been a big hit. One customer who ordered it came in to tell me they were licking the box after eating it. He said, 'There was just something about it.'' (Image: Images by Colin Mearns, Newsquest) The dish consists of chips and cheese in a box topped with Doner meat and the Chasni sauce – which offers a unique sweet and sour, almost tangy taste, according to Adam. The Chasni Doner has also earned Asian Tandoori a nomination for the Just Eat Innovation Award. To find out more, click HERE It certainly isn't the business' first recognition. To prove it, they even have a spot in their shop dedicated to the trophies and acknowledgement for their stand-out and above-average curries.

No. 21 Resort 2026 Collection
The N.21 lookbook was shot at night on the empty streets of a deserted Milan. 'I love the city's old buildings with their imposing entryways and front doors, and its eerie nocturnal atmosphere,' designer Alessandro Dell'Acqua said. But the new collection wasn't intended for late-night parties or after-hours adventures. Quite the opposite. Dell'Acqua is a quiet contrarian, and resort is centered on the quotidian-with-a-twist look he does so well. At a showroom appointment, the racks overflowed with neoprene-bonded Fair Isle cotton sweatshirts paired with ankle-grazing light wool skirts, sequined pencil skirts styled with sporty striped polos, and pale brocatelle skirt suits whose bourgeois vibe was upset by worn-in denim shirts. Dell'Acqua explained that he wanted to 'go back to basics,' but sharpened with a sort of 'essential imperfection' to make them not so safe—a built-in mix of masculine and feminine, with a dash of 1940s vintage glamour to give it some louche edge. Everyday staples—like black leather perfectos and checkered dusters—were tossed over sequined evening dresses and hand-pressed silk slips dotted with sparse florals. Dell'Acqua's styling leans just eccentric enough to surprise, but always stays grounded in wearability. Clichés get a gentle shake-up, never a full rejection. 'I encourage a bit of adventurous spirit—intuition, creativity, and a dash of nonchalance,' 'he noted. 'Fashion isn't just for big moments, it doesn't have to be intimidating, either. I want to give women the tools to zhuzh up the everyday.' At a fair price, it's definitely a smart, feel-good move.
