World's first International Barbie Dreamhouse cafe opens in Melbourne with pink roller rink, cocktails and glam overload

Barbie has officially landed in Australia, and she's brought her Dreamhouse with her. The world's first Malibu Barbie Café outside the United States has opened its doors in Melbourne's Chadstone Shopping Centre , transforming two storeys into a life-sized pink fantasy world. The venue, which launched on June 27, will operate for a limited time only, expected to run through the Southern Hemisphere summer. Two-story pink paradise Described by organizers as a 'two-storey pink paradise,' the café blends retro Malibu aesthetics with interactive experiences, including a themed roller rink, an all-day dining menu, signature cocktails at 'Ken Kabana,' exclusive merchandise, and numerous Instagram-friendly photo setups, from giant Barbie boxes to beach-themed backdrops. 'Only at Chadstone for a limited time, this two-storey pink paradise brings Barbie's world to life,' the café's team said in a statement. Live Events The Melbourne installation is the latest in a global series of themed cafés launched by Mattel and Bucket Listers, the US-based events company behind previous pop-ups in New York, Miami, San Diego, Chicago, Austin, and Houston. However, this marks the first time the experience has been brought outside the US. The Barbie wave The Barbie brand, created by Mattel in 1959, is enjoying a fresh cultural revival following the massive success of Greta Gerwig's Barbie film in 2023, which grossed over $1.4 billion worldwide. That momentum is now being channeled into immersive, experiential formats. 'Fans responded so well to the Barbie Movie back in 2023 that we thought it was time to give them another dose of Barbie,' said Mattel Asia-Pacific managing director Paul Faulkner. 'Barbie is 65 years old, and for a brand to resonate like that for so long with so many different demographics, it's really incredible.' 'As you can see, it's come to life in the most amazing way,' said Brii Jamieson, marketing manager at Mushroom Group, which partnered on the project. She called the venue a 'labour of love.' The Malibu Barbie Café is now open daily, and while walk-ins are welcome, reservations are encouraged due to high demand.

Tamannaah Bhatia reflects on 'white space' and 'trust' in life post breakup with Vijay Varma amid his dating rumours with Fatima Sana Shaikh: 'Some spaces are just meant to breathe'

has sparked intrigue with a cryptic Instagram Story, just as rumours swirl about her ex-boyfriend 's growing closeness with actress Fatima Sana Shaikh. While neither Tamannaah nor Vijay has publicly confirmed their reported breakup, sources suggest the couple, who began dating during the shoot of Lust Stories 2, parted ways over differences in life goals, with Tamannaah reportedly wanting to settle down while Vijay remains focused on his career. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Now, with Fatima and Vijay fuelling fresh dating rumours after being spotted together at a Mumbai cafe and sharing photos from the Umrao Jaan screening, Tamannaah's latest Instagram post has caught fans' attention. On her Instagram Stories, Tamannaah shared a reflective quote that read, "Design taught me that white space isn't empty — it's intention. That not filling every corner is a form of trust. And maybe that's true for life, too. Not every moment needs to be packed or productive. Some spaces are just meant to breathe." She added a 💯 emoji, further hinting at her agreement with the sentiment. Fatima and Vijay's growing camaraderie Adding fuel to the fire, Fatima recently posted a series of photos from the Umrao Jaan premiere that included two pictures with Vijay Varma. In her caption, she gushed over Rekha's performance and called the evening surreal, writing, 'Her eyes, her stillness, her grace… uff! It's impossible to look away. I am in love with her ♥️ she is magic.' While fans are connecting the dots—from their shared FTII background to their upcoming film Ul Jalool Ishq, where Fatima and Vijay star opposite each other—Fatima responded to dating rumours during the trailer launch of her film Aap Jaisa Koi. Asked if there was a special someone in her life, she quipped, 'No one is there. No good guys. They exist only in films.' With no official word from any of the three actors involved, fans continue to speculate on what's brewing behind the scenes.
