I’ve been incredibly impressed with Margot Robbie as a producer, and I’ve enjoyed her early promotion for Barbie. Margot, more than anyone, put the movie together. She was the one who brought in Greta Gerwig. Margot was the one meeting with Mattel executives and running interference so that Gerwig’s vision could come to life. Margot was the one insisting on a feminist message and an inclusive, positive message too. Not only that, but now she has to promote the damn thing and dress up like Barbie for the whole promotional tour.

So, these are photos from the Mexico premiere of Barbie. America Ferrera came to this premiere, as did Ryan Gosling (who is one of the Kens). Margot wore a Barbie-pink Balmain, which… it’s okay. The thing about the whole Barbiecore trend is that we’ve already seen much better pink dresses for the past year. There’s an aspect of “been there, done that already” to some of this sartorially. That being said, I enjoy the vintage feel of the look and the styling. People are calling this “1990s Barbie,” but it feels more ‘80s to me – like, Madonna/Barbie/1980s.

Which is why I’m also including some photos of Margot from last week’s Australian premiere event. Margot didn’t go for the default Barbie-pink dress, she went for a Versace minidress in a sparkly silver-pink. This convinces me that Margot isn’t just going to do flat pink looks the whole tour – she’s actually going to wear looks which would have appeared in Barbie’s wardrobe.
