Barbie is back! Feelings of nostalgia awaken in Margot Robbie's wardrobe
Inspired by the 1950's, Margot Robbie and her stylist Andrew Mukamal take themed dressing to a whole new level, with the actress appearing as a living Barbie doll in slip-on mules, mini skirts and lots and lots of pink.
The press tour started in Sydney. From bespoke Versace pink suits and dresses to vintage Chanel tweed, Andrew Mukamal has collaborated with major fashion houses to create Margot's Barbie-inspired dream wardrobe: hemlines are short, silhouettes are form-fitting, and Margot has gone deep with white slip- Busy on high heels.
"Barbie is really closely related to fashion because the way you play her is basically dressing her," explained the film's costume designer Jacqueline Durran. "Clothing is her form of expression."
Dressed like the 1985 Day-to-Night Barbie, Margot sported a pink power suit, custom-made by Versace. She paired it with a glittery phone, a white fedora and Manolo Blahnik pumps.
The Barbie actress also wore a dazzling pink outfit for the evening. Inspired by the original dress, Margot and her stylist Andrew Mukamal worked closely with Versace to create a crystal-encrusted bodysuit and floaty pale pink skirt.
While promoting Barbie in Sydney, Margot Robbie wore a striped bodycon mini dress by Hervé Léger that referenced an original 1959 Barbie doll. Andrew Mukamal paid close attention to the details of this original doll and complemented the look with a similar pair of Manolo Blahnik peep toe heels. Margot also had her hair styled in the same high ponytail.
