AT THE THEATER — Have you seen "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer," yet?

The two highly anticipated movies both broke the box office when they hit theaters on the same day last week, with "Barbie" earning the top opening movie of the year with $155 million in ticket sales in North American theaters; and "Oppenheimer" raking in $80.5 million.

I've only seen "Barbie" so far, and showing up on opening day to a theater full of ecstatic women in hot pink with their friends was truly an incredible experience. I'm excited to see "Oppenheimer," too — I just need to gear up for a considerably darker and more serious, three-hour movie.

One of my favorite parts of the pop culture phenomenon caused by the two vastly different films coming out on the same day has been the outfits, as moviegoers have joked about how to best present themselves for seeing both movies.

One woman, Twitter user "Danielle" @hottoiletwater, decided to go the extra mile — or at least, the extra yard of fabric. In two videos posted July 23, Danielle showed off a black jumpsuit that, when she took off the belt and unfolded the sleeves, revealed a hot pink, fringed, star-printed jumpsuit underneath.

In summation, it was the perfect, double-feature "Barbenheimer" outfit.

"Took me way (too) long to make this outfit, but I did it!" Danielle captioned the first video.

She credits the idea to "RuPaul's Drag Race" and documented the making of the outfit on Twitter, showing pictures from a craft store, pieces of her pattern, sketches of the outfit and sewing supplies.
