While the rest of the world has embraced Barbiecore for well over a year now, Barbie herself is finally joining us.
Margot Robbie, who plays the Barbie in the upcoming Barbie movie, is leaning into the role off-screen as well, fully committing to the Barbie look for premieres, photo calls, and everywhere in between. No airport pap walk has been spared the wrath of pink on pink on pink.
Along with stylist Andrew Mukamal, Robbie has been putting in the work to make her press tour looks as authentic as possible. In fact, several of her ensembles are piece-for-piece recreations of Barbie outfits from decades past.
Starting from before the film’s release on July 21, 2023, we’re tracking all of Robbie’s Barbie outfits, and the iconic Barbie dolls that inspired them.
This Barbie Is Pink and Fabulous
If Barbie owned a sports team, its colors would be hot pink, white, and yellow (Free idea, Mattel! Billionaire Sports Magnate Barbie!), because no other color combo is as instantly recognizable.
Case in point: For a photo call in Beverly Hills, which marked the official kickoff of the Barbie press tour, Robbie wore all three of Barbie’s favorite colors, channeling 2015’s Pink and Fabulous Barbie in a polka-dot Valentino minidress. Even if you didn’t know what Robbie was promoting (though, such is the marketing budget for this film that it feels impossible you wouldn’t know), the color scheme gives it away. She’s just too fabulous!
