Everyone Was at the Barbie Premiere, Including Insurance’s Barbie & Ken
The LA premiere of Greta Gerwig's Barbie was a star-studded affair. Indeed, everybody who was anybody was there, from the film stars Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling to artists like Nicki Minaj and Dua Lipa from the stacked soundtrack.
Even Flo and Jamie from Progressive were there. No joke.
Flo and Jamie — insurance's Barbie and Ken, if you will — hit up the pink carpet, all smiles in their white uniforms topped with bright Barbie Pink Progressive aprons. On foot? Pink Chuck Taylors, of course.
If you're wondering why Flo and Jamie were on the scene, Progressive is part of Barbie's loaded rollout.
The insurance company promoted the film with one of its beloved commercials. In the latest, Jamie attempts to keep his "new client" a secret. The client was Barbie, if you couldn't tell by Jamie's not-so-coy Barbie-coded hints while standing in front of Barbie's Malibu Dream House.
Guess even Barbie couldn't resist the home and auto bundle with her dream house and Corvette.
By the way, we're not knocking Jamie and Flo's pink carpet moment — we're kind of here for it. We love the Progressive commercials and its many characters.
It would've been even more epic to see Progressive's parent-life coach, Dr. Rick out there in a bright pink version of his sweater and tie combo. Beggars can't be choosers, though.
After loads of IRL Barbie 'fits and even more collaborations later, Barbie is almost here. The long-awaited film hits theaters next Friday, July 21, along with Christoper Nolan's highly-anticipated Oppenheimer.
Yep, time to iron those Barbenheimer tees.
