Margot Robbie, the talented actress who has captivated audiences with her versatile performances, is taking on a new role – that of bringing the iconic Barbie to life on her international press tour for the upcoming Greta Gerwig-directed movie. With the film set to release later this month, Robbie and her stylist, Andrew Mukamal, have embarked on a sartorial journey, fully committing to delivering some of Barbie’s most memorable looks.
In a series of Instagram posts, Mukamal has shared Robbie’s stunning ensembles that pay homage to the timeless charm of Barbie. One standout look features Robbie posing in a black-and-white striped Herve Leger dress, reminiscent of Barbie’s original beach romper from 1959. The summery vibe and classic silhouette capture the essence of the iconic doll, bringing a touch of nostalgia to the red carpet. At the Seoul premiere, Robbie made a bold statement by donning two different hot-pink ensembles, channeling the 1985 ‘Day to Night’ Barbie. She effortlessly rocked a knee-length suit and a glittery tulle gown, both updated by the legendary fashion house Versace.
Robbie’s commitment to staying in character on the red carpet has been coined as ‘method dressing,’ a fashion tactic that has gained popularity among celebrities in recent times. Following in the footsteps of stars like Zendaya, Jenna Ortega, and Halle Bailey, who embraced their roles with spidery details, gothic glamour, and mermaid gowns, respectively, Robbie’s dedication to bringing Barbie to life through her wardrobe is resonating with fans and fashion enthusiasts alike. As excitement mounts for the summer blockbuster, Robbie’s outfits have gone viral, thanks to their nostalgia factor and the creative flair displayed by Mukamal.
The fashion choices showcased by Robbie during her press tour have received widespread praise for their ability to capture the essence of Barbie while highlighting her own impeccable style. As the journey continues, fans eagerly await updates on Robbie’s wardrobe, knowing that each ensemble will be a delightful homage to the beloved doll. The combination of Robbie’s star power, Mukamal’s creative genius, and the timeless allure of Barbie promises to make a lasting impact on the world of fashion.
Margot Robbie’s transformation into Barbie on the red carpet is not only a testament to her acting skills but also a celebration of the doll’s cultural influence. With each outfit she wears, Robbie brings the magic of Barbie to life, captivating audiences and reminding us all of the doll’s enduring legacy. As her international press tour unfolds, we can’t wait to see the next stunning ensemble that Robbie and Mukamal have in store for us, as they continue to blur the lines between Barbieland and reality, leaving us all mesmerized by their sartorial artistry.
