Despite being snubbed from this year's Oscar nominations, Margot Robbie has served some classic Barbie-inspired looks. Here are some iconic ones.
Margot Robbie embodied the essence of Barbie with breathtaking style during the promotional tour for the live-action film. Her outfits, carefully curated by stylist Andrew Mukamal, went beyond mere costumes, serving as playful odes to specific Barbie dolls and eras, while simultaneously showcasing Robbie's vibrant personality.
Let's take a stroll down memory lane and revisit 7 of her most iconic Barbie-inspired looks:
1. 1977 Superstar Barbie in Los Angeles
Channelling the glamorous disco era, Robbie arrived at the Golden Globes in a custom Armani Priv¨¦ sequined gown reminiscent of the 1977 Superstar Barbie. The V-neckline and tulle ruffled boa mirrored the doll's signature style, and Manolo Blahnik heels and Lorraine Schwartz jewellery added a touch of Hollywood glitz.
2. Casual and Professional in Seoul
During the Seoul premiere, Robbie honored the iconic Barbie by donning a vibrant hot pink blazer, a stylish white brimmed hat, and a matching pencil skirt, complemented by a rhinestone-studded phone. The specific Barbie inspiration for her chic ensemble was drawn from the Day-to-Night Barbie, originally introduced in 1985.
3. Vintage Flair in Seoul:
Bringing back the 90s with a bang, Robbie stunned at the Seoul premiere in a vintage 1994 Versace minidress. The shimmering pink fabric and playful ruffles channelled the Totally Hair Barbie of 1992, while chunky silver jewellery and white sunglasses exuded a cool-girl vibe.
4. Gingham Goddess (London Premiere)
Stepping into a real-life Barbie fairytale, Robbie graced the London premiere in a light pink satin gown with a cascading skirt and delicate straps. The subtle gingham print added a touch of whimsy, reminiscent of Barbie's love for picnic-perfect attire.
5. Polka-Dot Perfection in Milan
A touch of vintage elegance reigned supreme during the Milan premiere. Robbie slipped into a Valentino gown dotted with vibrant pink and black polka dots, reminiscent of the 2015 Pop Art Barbie. The dramatic silhouette and flowing train exuded Hollywood glamour.
6. Cherry Chic in Los Angeles
Taking a casual yet charming approach, Robbie attended a Deadline Contenders event in Los Angeles sporting a head-to-toe Bottega Veneta look. The cherry-printed shirt and dark-wash jeans echoed the 2015 Cherry Pie Picnic Barbie, while a red bucket bag and red heels added a pop of colour.
7. Black Swan Ballet in Los Angeles
Leaving everyone in awe, Robbie closed the Barbie tour with a dramatic finale at the film's Los Angeles premiere. She glided in a custom Schiaparelli gown inspired by the 1960 Solo in the Spotlight Barbie.
