Margot Robbie's 'Barbie' Press Tour Looks Have A Hidden Meaning Behind Them

With not long to go until Greta Gerwig’s Barbie arrives on our screens, the cast’s press tour has officially begun.

While we have enjoyed seeing the entire cast dress up for the tour, it’s of course, Margot Robbie’s looks that we’re holding out for.

Only a couple of weeks into the tour, and already, the star’s outfits have not disappointed.

Let’s take you through what she’s worn, and what they mean.

The Barbie press tour kicked off in Los Angeles, where the entire cast, which included Margot, Gerwig, Ryan Gosling, America Ferrera, Kate McKinnon, Issa Rae, and Michael Cera, got pictures together.

For this event, Margot modelled a hot pink Valentino mini dress with polkadots, white Manolo Blahnik pumps and a yellow handbag. The outfit, which looked like it could have come straight from the movie’s set, was a nod to one of the doll’s iconic outfits.

For an unofficial press stop in L.A, Margot got decked out in head-to-toe pink. The pleated mini skirt and bralette were both from Bottega Veneta, and perfectly complemented the vintage Corvette. She completed the look with white Bottega Veneta sunglasses, handbag and pink Manolo Blahnik pumps.

For a press junket at Bondi Icebergs, Margot donned a custom Hervé Leger bodycon dress that payed tribute to a 1959 Barbie doll. The dress was paired with black Manolo Blahnik pumps and white shades.

At Westfield in Sydney, Margot modelled a pink halter turtleneck jumper with a pink mini skirt, white mary-janes and a pair of white sunglasses.

At the film’s premier in Seoul, South Korea, Margot pulled off not one but two iconic Barbie looks. Inspired by the 1985 ‘Day To Night’ doll, Margot stunned in a preppy skirt suit followed by a glittering bodysuit and hot pink tulle skirt.

Next on Margot’s inspiration board was the 1964 ‘Glittering Pink’ Barbie doll. For this photo-op, Margot donned head-to-toe Moschino, featuring a mini skirt and cropped jacket, a quilted heart bag, and the chicest hat, all covered in rhinestones.

Continuing her streak of Barbie-inspired slays, Margot dazzled at the film’s global premiere in a glittering Schiaparelli gown inspired by the 1960s ‘Solo In The Spotlight’ Barbie. Hats off to her stylist, Andrew Mukamal, for this one, whose attention to detail is second to none.

There’s arguably no better occasion for a baby pink Vivienne Westwood gown than the UK Barbie premiere. On this occasion, Margot’s look was inspired by the 1960s ‘Enchanted Evening’ Barbie, complete with white opera gloves, Assael pearls, and Christina Louboutin heels.
