Step 1
Style your hair into a perfect '50s-style cut. For maximum fun, wear a plastic wig of hair fully in place. See an option for a Ken Doll wig in the Resources section.

Step 2
Put on a pink dress shirt. Yes, this should match your Barbie's costume. If your Barbie Doll companion is dressing in another color besides pink, you can match it to this. The best way to dress as Barbie and Ken is by using their famous pink.
-
Step 3
Wear dress pants with a matching dinner jacket. This can be the color of your choice. Ken was very versatile about his dressy clothes, and he had almost as big a wardrobe as Barbie. Just make sure they match, and look doll picture perfect once on. All ironing and perfecting should be done well in advance of showtime.

Step 4
Put on a tie that either matches the jacket or the shirt. A pink tie that is patterned is probably the most fun choice here, but use your imagination to create maximum Ken fun. Don't worry. This won't do any permanent damage to your masculinity unless you want it to do so.
-
Step 5
Wear proper loafers that are black or gray. Ken went without Barbie's massive shoe collection. His options tend to be black or gray loafers. Brown will do if it is matching the pants and jacket.

Step 6
Hold a Barbie-style accessory for maximum fun and recognition. It could be a "present" for Birthday Barbie, a plush poodle that belongs to Barbie, or a heart-shaped box of plastic chocolates.
