Barbie superfan transforms home into pink palace – and makes hubby dress as Ken

A Barbie superfan went all out for the premiere of the new film – hosting a pink-themed brunch and making her husband dress up as Ken.

Cheryl Tipton, 35, transformed her conservatory into a pink palace as she celebrated the release of Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling's new movie.

The mum-of-two covered the room in pink using balloons, pillows, tassels – and made sure the food was the same colour.

And Cheryl, from Telford, Shrops., even made her husband Andrew, 47, take part – dressing him up as Ken.

She also drove to the cinema to watch the hit film – in her pink Volkswagen Beetle.

Cheryl, a police staff worker, said: "I've always loved pink anyway, and with me having the pink Beetle I just went all out.

"I decided to call it a Barbie Brunch.

"I just think I've got daughters anyway and it was just a bit of fun – things are rubbish with the cost-of-living crisis so why not have a bit of fun?

"My daughters love it, but to be honest they are used to me with all the pink and the madness.

"I managed to rope Andrew into wearing the Ken t-shirt too – I posted the pictures on Facebook for all of his work friends to see!

"He actually wrapped the car pink for me three years ago – we do get some funny looks, especially when he drives it."

Cheryl already had a lot of the party pieces due to her love of pink, but had her own mum on call for any help.

She's been a fan of Barbie for a long time, and made sure to book tickets for the film as soon as she could.

Cheryl said: "I couldn't wait to book tickets.

"I got married 10 years ago and my hen party was Barbie-themed – I've loved it for years."

She wore a pink outfit, and daughters Mylee, 12 and Layla, eight, sported bucket hats and T-shirts.

Giving her verdict on the film, Cheryl said: "I thought the film was really really good and it had a lot of comedy for adults, which was great as well."
