In The Close-Up, Coveteur gets up close and personal with the people shaping the creative industries as we know it.
Barbie Ferreira has been busier than any of us even know. Coming off an appearance on the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show runway and on the Oscars red carpet in cobalt blue and with two movies coming out in April, Ferreira has already been booked and busy and committed to ticking all the boxes. And now, a limited capsule collection with For Your Soul, a Los Angles-based lifestyle brand designing clothes that are equal parts comfy and cute and promotes intentional living, feels like a collaboration that was meant to be for Ferreira, a self certified two piece set connoisseur.
The capsule collection features hoodie and sweatpants sets in distinct colors and with checkered patchwork stars placed in various spots, as well as coordinated tank tops. Each piece is individually died so no two pieces are identical, but they all have this in common: they guarantee that the wearer will present as put together while being at their utmost coziest.
In celebration of this collaboration, we sat down with Ferreira to get the lowdown on her relationships with astrology and manifestation, what's on her latest grocery list, and how, in true For Your Soul fashion, she slows down.

What's your star sign and do you relate?
"I'm a Sagittarius. My rising is Aries and my moon is Aquarius. And I absolutely relate. What's funny is that my mom and I have the same big three, but in different placements, so I definitely feel connected to it."
What's the most Sagittarius thing about you?
"Oh gosh, probably my personality in general. I'm extremely free-spirited. I'm independent. I'm very passionate about stuff. We tend to be people who get really caught up in moral journeys and whatnot, so I definitely relate to that."
What three words best describe how you're feeling right now?
"I feel grounded, I feel excited, and I feel decaffeinated. I need a coffee."

What color is your aura?
"Probably green. A really cool green. There's so many shades of green. Maybe a jewel tone kind of forest green. It's my favorite color but I don't know if that means anything in the aura world."
Do you believe in manifestation?
"Yes, 110%."
What are you manifesting for the rest of 2025?
"I'm just manifesting good health. I'm manifesting just continuing on with the love in my life and everyone being healthy and happy."

What are the last three things you wrote in your Notes app?
"I actually have a list of four coming of age movies that I really love because I was asked by Letterboxd. And I have two groceries lists."
Can you share what's on your grocery lists?
"One is short rib, tomato paste, red wine, carrot, celery, white onion, herbs, potato—Yukon Gold, heavy cream, butter, figs, macaroni. The other one is chicken wings, butter, and crystal hot sauce."
How would you describe your personal style?
"For most of my life, I've been experimenting so much and I feel really embodied in my own style right now. And I think it would probably be office siren meets contemporary, older sister vibe. Someone told me that, so I was like, okay, cool."

How do you think your personal style connects to your sense of identity?
"It's everything to me. I've always expressed myself through my outfits. Since I was a kid, I've always been someone who loves a costume so much so that my outfits are my favorite part of the day. And I think that really intertwines with my love for acting. I just feel like putting on something makes me feel like a different person."
What do you love about For Your Soul and its message?
"What I love about For Your Soul is, first of all, I'm addicted to matching sets. I wear matching sets every single day, so I really wanted to bring the things that I feel the coziest in into my life. I love how fun and cozy and soft everything is."
How did this partnership come about?
"It came about a couple months ago, and I was really, really excited because they were so open to collaboration and creative input. I'm always excited to work with people that I love and having a fun time instead of something mechanical. For Your Soul was very from the soul one could say."

How would you describe this collaboration?
"Everything fell into place really quickly and perfectly. It felt like a day of fun. We played a lot of music. We listened to a lot of Rihanna. Andy was there who I've worked with before. It was just a really fun day. I had my stylist there, as well as my hair and makeup."
Do you have a favorite piece from the collection and why?
"I think my favorite piece is probably the pink set. Just because I love that shade of pink and it reminds me of bubblegum."
How do you slow down during your off time?
"I watch a movie or I'll watch a really shitty reality show. I love to cook, as you could see from my Notes app. So that really centers me. My whole family, they're all chefs, so it's a very culinary family. It feels very familial and cool to cook, so I love doing that. I love hanging out with my friends and just laying low at home. I'm a homebody."

What's your favorite reality show?
"My favorite reality show, this may surprise people, but I actually love watching Alone or survival shows, but I also love watching 90 Day Fiancé. I'm an out of the box reality show kind of girl. I'll watch Milf Manner or something that's a little bit more out there. If it's not the most popular thing out there, I'm tuning in."
Do you have a fashion hot take?
"I think the trends have just been too big. I just hate trends. I feel like you have to create your own thing that's cool or else it's lame."
What's your favorite place to shop?
"I love The RealReal. I love going vintage shopping a lot. I love newer designers too, but for shopping, I love vintage shopping."

How would you describe your relationship to beauty and self-care?
"I'm Brazilian. So for my whole life, I felt like beauty and taking care of yourself was a big part of loving yourself and being in tune with your body. So beauty, I've had obviously a very complicated relationship with all sorts of things, being a woman, as we all do. So I think for me, my relationship is just making sure everything's healthy and working right and not squeaking. Making sure all of my engines are working."
What do you have coming up for the rest of 2026?
"I have two movies coming up, April 10th and April 17th. We got Faces to Death. We got Mile End Kicks, both in theaters. We got a whole bunch of fun stuff around that, so that's the main thing."
Can you describe your perfect day?
"My perfect day: I wake up early. I go to Pilates. I go to the infrared sauna after. I then get my favorite coffee from Blue Bottle. It's a sunny day in LA. I come home, I hang out by the pool with my animals. I hang out with my friends. We laugh. We have a great time. That's my perfect day."
