Margot Robbie Dressed as This Rare 1960s Doll For the ‘Barbie’ London Premiere
Actress Margot Robbie has embarked on a whirlwind international press tour for the highly anticipated Greta Gerwig-directed movie, set to release later this month. As she promotes the film, the boundaries between the Barbie world and reality seem to blur, with Robbie fully embracing her Barbie persona on the red carpet.
The London premiere on Wednesday, July 12, witnessed Robbie’s most extravagant look yet. She stunned in a custom Vivienne Westwood gown inspired by the iconic ‘Enchanted Evening’ Barbie, originally released by Mattel in 1960. This attention-grabbing ensemble showcased Robbie’s dedication to embodying the spirit of the beloved doll.
Prior to the London premiere, at the world premiere in Los Angeles, Robbie paid tribute to the ’60s ‘Solo in the Spotlight’ Barbie. She graced the red carpet in a black glittering Schiaparelli gown featuring a flamboyant tulle hem, capturing the essence of the iconic doll’s glamorous style.
Collaborating closely with her stylist, Andrew Mukamal, Robbie has been committed to delivering some of Barbie’s most memorable looks throughout the press tour. Mukamal has shared these ensembles on Instagram, garnering widespread admiration and excitement.
In one striking image, Robbie is seen posing in a black-and-white striped summery Herve Leger dress, reminiscent of Barbie’s original beach romper from 1959. This nod to the doll’s classic fashion resonated with fans of all ages.
During the Seoul premiere, Robbie delighted fans by donning two different hot-pink ensembles, paying homage to the iconic ‘Day to Night’ Barbie released in 1985. The outfits, a knee-length suit and a glittery tulle gown were modernized by renowned fashion house Versace.
Robbie’s commitment to “method dressing” on the red carpet follows in the footsteps of other celebrities who have recently adopted similar fashion tactics. Zendaya’s spidery details while promoting “Spiderman: No Way Home,” Jenna Ortega’s gothic glamour for “Wednesday,” and Halle Bailey’s enchanting mermaid gowns for “The Little Mermaid” have all captivated audiences and generated intrigue.
As anticipation for the summer blockbuster continues to grow, Robbie’s sartorial choices have struck a chord with fans worldwide. The images of her Barbie-inspired outfits have gone viral, evoking nostalgia and admiration. Mukamal, credited with his creative and flattering interpretations of the Barbie aesthetic, has also received widespread praise.
Robbie’s wardrobe highlights from the press tour will continue to be updated, offering fans a glimpse into her captivating transformation into the Barbie world as she travels the globe promoting the film.
