From vintage Chanel to custom Versace, the Australian actress has been embracing her inner Barbie off-screen, too
“Come on, Barbie, let’s go party” has been the prevalent mood among the fans of Mattel’s most iconic doll, who, along with her friends, is coming to life on July 21 in Barbie directed by Greta Gerwig. And Australian actress Margot Robbie, who plays the titular character with Ryan Gosling as her Ken, clearly understood the assignment and has been serving up Barbie-inspired looks throughout the film’s press tour.
Robbie’s stylist, Andrew Mukamal, has created mainly pink ensembles that appear to pay homage to the Mattel doll’s playful yet polished style. In fact, many of Robbie’s outfits worn during interviews or on the red carpet even mirror actual Barbie doll costumes.
From working with luxury brands such as Valentino on custom designs to sourcing vintage Versace pieces, Mukamal has transformed Robbie into a real-life Barbie doll off-screen, and these are some of our favourite looks so far.

1. Vintage Barbie
The black-and-white Hervé Léger minidress Robbie wore to a press event in Sydney was inspired by the first Barbie ever, which was released in 1959 and wore a striking striped black and white swimsuit. The actress’s wavy ponytail echos the curly fringe with ponytail seen on the original doll, while the white cat-eye sunglasses lends a vintage, beach-y vibe to the look.
