Ken and Barbie aren't the only ones having fun in Greta Gerwig's "Barbie" movie. On 4 April, Warner Bros. shared the official trailer for the film [1] and posters featuring the star-studded cast — including Margot Robbie [2], Ryan Gosling [3], Issa Rae, Nicola Coughlan [4], and Kate McKinnon. Following the classic Barbie adage that with imagination, life is your creation, fans are also getting a chance to play and create their own doll-inspired personas with a "Barbie" selfie generator.

On the custom website [5], fans of the multihyphenate figurine can upload photos to create their own "Barbie" posters, complete with glittery backgrounds and a quote that gives some insight into their magenta-infused dream lives. In promotional photos for the film, some stars have already been labeled with their "Barbie" identities. "This Barbie is a mermaid," Dua Lipa's poster reads. Meanwhile, Gosling's poster clarifies, "He's Ken," while Simu Liu [6]'s adds, "He's another Ken." Some are even more descriptive, like McKinnon's, which reads, "This Barbie is always in the splits."

A few fans have already gotten a head start and inserted themselves into the Barbieverse. "Friends fear she's going to rinse this photo generator to death," one Twitter [7] user joked. Another person tweeted [8], "having too much fun with the barbie photo generator." If you're looking to try the selfie tool yourself, we highly recommend keeping angles and lighting in mind [9]; after all, Barbie is a model/photographer/actor/pop star, among other things.

Ahead, see a step-by-step guide to creating your custom "Barbie" poster.
