Texas-based X (formerly Twitter) user Brandi, 27, who tweets as @daysevermore, shared a resurfaced photo of Justin, 29, and his wife Hailey Bieber, 27, and asked, ‘Why does he look like weird Barbie?’ referencing Kate McKinnon’s character in the summer blockbuster.
The sentiment quickly went viral, with other people comparing Justin to the Rugrats cartoon doll Cynthia, Ellen DeGeneres, and Weird Al Yankovic’s cousin.
People on X shared gifs from the movie and reminisced about the days when Kate played Justin on Saturday Night Live.

Wrapped in plastic, it’s fantastic: Meet Weird Barbie!
For the mismatched outing back in 2020, Justin kept it casual in a khaki jacket worn over a gray sleeveless tank on his way to fittingly film his own spot on SNL.
The pop star paired the outerwear with red plaid pajama pants, white tube socks, and orange Adidas slides. The Baby singer’s hair was just like Kate’s character, as it looked like he had just woken up from a nap and was sticking up everywhere. Justin finished off his unexpected look with oversized glasses.
His model turned beauty brand founder wife opted for a far more glam ensemble, wearing black leather pants with a matching fur-trimmed overcoat and a chic black turtleneck underneath.
‘Maybe he got played with too roughly?’ one Barbie fan mused on X, referencing what happened to Kate’s character in the movie, leaving her in neon scraps with shorn locks.
‘He looks like when I cut one of my Barbie’s hair off (obviously thinking it would grow back) and was left with the stumps attached to the head,’ another person quipped.
‘If he was wearing Birkenstocks that would make this 10x funnier than it already is,’ an X user pointed out, which was the favored footwear of Weird Barbie.
Some people thought Hailey also looked like Barbie, writing, ‘Weird Barbie vs. the good Barbie I took care of.’
‘The fact that Kate McKinnon actually plays Justin Bieber on SNL makes it all the more accurate,’ one person pointed out, as the comedian used to dress up like the Biebs for Saturday Night Live skits.
Commenters on X had a field day with the unearthed photos from 2020, comparing Justin to Weird Barbie and Weird Al’s cousin
‘I’d be so mad if I stepped out looking chic every day only to be followed around by Weird Al’s cousin all the time,’ one follower joked.
Some people were simply shocked by his sense of style, with one saying, ‘I just couldn’t. I wouldn’t leave the house with him. Isn’t your partners style supposed to get better the longer you’re in a relationship? This is the opposite of the boyfriend/husband effect.’
‘Come on now Justin… all this money and you stepping out like this?’ another person asked, since the Stay hitmaker is said to be worth $300 million.
‘It’s giving Jamie Lee Curtis on Freaky Friday,’ one person proclaimed.
‘Imagine getting married and then your husband starts doing this….is this a divorce able offense? This feels very “irreconcilable differences”-y,’ a follower announced, although the couple has been married since 2018.

‘It’s giving Jamie Lee Curtis on Freaky Friday,’ one person proclaimed, as they had similar haircuts
Some people threw shade at Hailey for not making sure her husband was dressed better, tweeting, ‘Y’know when people say “whoever let you go out the house like that are not your friends”? I feel like it’s 10x worse when it’s your wife.’
Another joked, ‘She’s said “as long as I look fresh it don’t even matter.”‘
One person tweeted, ‘They never look like they’re dressed for the same place or event.’
Hailey and Justin dressing for different occasions while going out on the town together has been a popular sentiment throughout their marriage, as Hailey always looks glamorous in designer duds, while Justin often dresses down and opts for slides, Crocs, or even slippers.
