Like the Barbican's kind of bubbly celebrities (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

brutalist

'like the barbican's' is the definition.
(the Barbican exemplifies brutalist architecture)

'kind of bubbly celebrities' is the wordplay.
'kind of bubbly' becomes 'brut' (brut is a kind of champagne ie 'bubbly').
'celebrities' becomes 'alist' (I have seen 'Top celebrities' mean 'a list' so perhaps 'celebrities' could also mean 'a list').
'brut'+'alist'='BRUTALIST'

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
