A County Durham bar has undergone a daring renovation to coincide with the launch of the Barbie movie. 

The Champagne Bar by Ebony in Durham City has transformed to 'pretty in pink' as the whole of the venue has been painted a bright and striking pink colour. 

As part of the venues' transformation, it has also temporarily changed its name to 'The Champagne Barbie' and is serving some drinks to match the bright decor.

In images shared by Walkeragte in Durham, which is the shopping and restaurant location that The Champagne Bar is part of, the bar can be seen in all of its pink glory.

Whether the paint job is real remains to be seen - but it seems like it's been getting a bit of attention from people online. 

While many people were rather complimentary about the new paint job, not everyone shared those feelings - calling the change an 'eyesore' and 'shocking'.

After Walkergate had shared the photo, with the caption: "If it comes in pink, WE want it! What do you think of The Champagne Bar By Ebony pinkalicious makeover (and unofficial name change)?! All ready for #Barbie weekend celebrations!," many people were quick to comment. 

Taking to the comments section of the Facebook post, one person said: "Love it," while another chimed in with: "Why not do a Barbie pink for the weekend, joyous and just for fun. Love it."

However, not everyone shared the view, with some saying: "What an eyesore. I hope the council get it removed ASAP," and another said: "This looks disgusting."

Some people have been saying that the change of decor isn't 'real' on the building - but either way, it's fair to say Barbie would approve.
