Margot Robbie Dressed Like an Iconic 1960s Barbie for the Film’s Los Angeles Premiere
Margot Robbie continued her high fashion cosplay of different iconic Barbies over the years at the Los Angeles premiere of Barbie last night. This time, she recreated Solo in the Spotlight Barbie, one of the most famous versions of the doll released in 1960. Robbie was dressed in custom Schiaparelli Haute Couture with Lorraine Schwartz jewels and Manolo Blahnik heels. Her hair was styled in a high ponytail.
Earlier in the week, Robbie dressed as two ’90s Barbie dolls while doing press in Mexico City. She first recreated the Earring Magic Barbie from 1992 by wearing a pink leather Balmain minidress and chain belt:
She then dressed like Totally Hair Barbie from the same year in an Emilio Pucci minidress with dangly earrings and a statement ring:
Robbie has given a lot of interviews in the past week about the film, but for the first time, she spoke to BuzzFeed about being compared to Emma Mackey, who is also in Barbie. “I’ve been getting told for years that I look like the girl from Sex Education, who is Emma Mackey,” Robbie said. “And she plays one of the Barbies in the movie pretty much because Greta [Gerwig, the film’s director] and I thought it would be funny. We were gonna do this whole joke about us looking similar…did you know this? Once we got dressed up as our Barbies, we were kind of like, we don’t look that similar when she’s got her brown hair, and I’ve got my blonde hair.”
