Top 10 Best Margot Robbie Looks from the Barbie Press Tour

One of Margot Robbie’s first “Barbie” press tour looks was inspired by none other than Original Barbie from 1959. At Sydney’s Bondi Beach, the actress wore a black-and-white striped dress by Hervé Léger, nearly identical to the OG swimsuit. Robbie’s stylist Andrew Mukamal paid tribute to the iconic doll’s complete look with white shades from Jacques Marie Mage, Spinelli Kilcollin golden hoop earrings, and a cherry red manicure. Her perfect pony, for its part, was the icing on top of the Barbie cake. The black open-toe Manolo Blahnik heels cemented the vintage pin-up look, a brand that would become a must-have for the rest of the tour.

On June 25, Mukamal went for a more contemporary Barbie muse for a press junket and photo call in Los Angeles, styling Robbie in a flirty frock similar to Pink & Fabulous Barbie from 2015. Robbie radiated Barbie energy in a custom Valentino pink and white polka dot mini dress featuring a criss-cross halter top and midriff cutout. Of course, a pair of white Manolo Blahnik BB pointed-toe pumps tied it all together. But that’s not all. The yellow shoulder bag and Assael pearl bracelet really pop against the pink and white, which is fitting since the “Barbie” star stood out at the event.

Margot Robbie brought the shine to a Seoul press conference in July, wearing an embellished custom skirt suit from Moschino, channeling a brighter, pinker version of 1964’s Sparkling Pink Barbie. Mukamal’s version also showed off more skin with a crop top and a shorter skirt. This glitz and glam getup would look amazing in any setting, but it positively glowed under the lights and among the flashing cameras. With her pillbox hat, adorable heart-shaped purse, and staple Manolo Blahnik heels, Robbie effortlessly slayed yet another impossibly pink carpet. Color us incredibly impressed.

Margot Robbie wowed once again at the July 7th Mexico City photocall in a colorful Emilio Pucci printed minidress modeled after Totally Hair Barbie, one of the best-selling dolls in the brand’s history. And, fun fact, Barbie fashion designer Carol Spencer was actually influenced by the Pucci brand when creating the 1992 doll. When it came to hair, hairstylist Bryce Scarlett crimped the actress’ blonde locks to match the doll’s wonderfully long, wavy tresses. However, the length was wisely kept reasonable instead of having Robbie’s hair down to her pink Manolo Blahnik pumps. And did you notice her Ring Pop ring? We can’t get enough of it.

Ahead of the “Barbie” movie’s summer release, stars Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling turned out at CinemaCon 2023 in Las Vegas, the first stop on their global press tour. The two dressed to impress with Robbie wearing a matching pink and white Prada set complete with pink Louboutin heels and subtle jewels. The ensemble feels like a riff on a gingham look Barbie dons in the movie, minus the matching hat and seashell necklace. The outfit is also reminiscent of the character’s “perfect day” outfit, which many have pointed out looks like a pink version of Dorothy’s blue dress in “The Wizard of Oz.” We’re thinking Barbie and Dorothy go on a similarly wild adventure exploring uncharted waters, so it’s a fitting homage.

On June 30, 2023, Margot Robbie was in her homeland of Australia for multiple Barbie fan events. For an outdoor event, she rocked a pink Versace turtleneck and metallic skirt combo once donned by Kate Moss in the ‘90s. She rounded out the preppy look with socks and white heeled loafers. Then, for that night’s celebration at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Robbie continued the ‘90s archival vibe with a metallic Atelier Versace minidress previously sported by Claudia Schiffer. The shimmering blush-toned party dress featured a corset-style bodice atop a stunning skirt, complemented by clear heels and eye-catching chrome nails.

At Mexico’s “Barbie” premiere, Margot Robbie channeled another one of the most iconic Barbies from the ‘90s by wearing a Balmain custom leather mini dress. Inspired by Earring 1992’s Magic Barbie, the hot pink strapless number featured a fitted bodice with long sheer mesh sleeves. Of course, she accessorized with the dangling silver earrings we know and love, along with a matching chain belt that was reminiscent of the doll’s very own. Robbie also rocked a fabulously crimped hairdo courtesy of Bryce Scarlett, and the whole thing comes together to take us back to the ‘90s in the absolute best way.

For the July 12th European premiere of “Barbie,” the titular star was once again the image of elegance. Margot Robbie stepped out in a custom Vivienne Westwood pale pink satin strapless gown with a rose at the hip, draping train, and white opera gloves. The beautifully regal look was inspired by 1960’s “Enchanted Evening Barbie.” The easy updo showed off her layered Assael pearl choker and matching earrings, which we’re able to see even better sans her white fur. The dress stops at her ankles, revealing clear Christian Louboutin heels with crystals for added sparkle to celebrate the magical night.

Margot Robbie touched down in South Korea on July 1st and gave us instant heart eyes with her sweet Moschino ensemble. Little did we know she had something even bigger in store for the next night’s pink-carpeted premiere. She outdid herself in a Versace pink and white power suit skirt set, like 1985’s Day to Night Barbie. She arrived in full-on Barbie camp, proudly donning the hat and bedazzled ‘80s phone. Of course, anyone familiar with the doll hoped for a second outfit to be revealed. Robbie definitely delivered, trading in her professional day look for a ready-to-party night one in a layered tulle skirt and a sequined bodice.

As we’ve seen, it doesn’t have to be pink to be Barbiecore. Margot Robbie further demonstrated this at the movie’s world premiere in Los Angeles on July 9th. The star went Old Hollywood glam, gracing the pink carpet in a Schiaparelli Haute Couture black sequin-embroidered gown designed by Daniel Roseberry. The fashion house’s creative director and co. modeled the gorgeous dress after “Solo in the Spotlight” Barbie from 1960, even replicating an intricate detail like the blush handkerchief. Roseberry also adorned the dramatic mermaid tulle skirt with a hand-painted rosette. The vintage look was topped off a pony fit for the ‘60s, gorgeous gloves, and stunning Lorraine Schwartz diamonds. If celebrity stylists are eligible for awards, Andrew Mukamal deserves all of them!
