In Los Angeles, the spotlight shone on Margot Robbie as she unveiled the highly anticipated Barbie film. The 33-year-old actress paid homage to the iconic 1960s doll by donning a replica of its famous outfit.Concluding her whirlwind promotional tour, Margot opted for a departure from the various shades of pink that had dominated her wardrobe in recent weeks. Stepping onto the red carpet at the Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall in downtown Los Angeles, she stunned in a bespoke, form-fitting black Schiaparelli gown. The strapless ensemble, adorned with thousands of sequins, featured a structured tulle basque and delicate red roses, creating a captivating aesthetic.
Collaborating with stylist Andrew Mukamal and designer Daniel Roseberry, Margot accentuated her ensemble with elegant long opera gloves, diamond stud earrings, a dazzling four-strand diamond necklace by Lorraine Schwartz, and open-toed Manolo Blahnik mules. Hairstylist Bryce Scarlett gathered her hair into a sleek high ponytail, adding a subtle twist to the ends. Meanwhile, makeup artist Pati Dabroff eschewed eye shadow, opting instead to emphasize Margot’s eyebrows, accentuate her cheekbones with blush, and adorn her lips with a bold red hue.
Margot’s ensemble flawlessly emulated the iconic Barbie doll known as “Solo in the Spotlight,” originally released in 1960. Holding a pink handkerchief reminiscent of the doll’s portrayal, Margot fully immersed herself in the role, not only as the lead actress but also as a producer on the film. She garnered a remarkable $12.5 million for her involvement in the project, helmed by director Greta Gerwig. According to the Daily Mail, the film’s budget reached an impressive $100 million. Posing alongside a pink Chevrolet Corvette, mirroring the one featured in the film, Margot exuded confidence and grace. Although her husband, producer Tom Ackerley, did not accompany her on the red carpet this time, she received support from her project partner, Ryan Gosling, who portrayed Ken.
Scheduled for release on July 21 in the U.S. and UK, “Barbie” boasts a star-studded cast, including John Cena, Rhea Perlman, Emerald Fennell, and others. Adding to the excitement, Dua Lipa, who attended the premiere and made waves with her presence, contributed to the film’s soundtrack with the track “Dance The Night.” Dua made a stunning entrance in a transparent Lorenzo Posocco ring dress, confidently opting to forgo a bra and sporting white tango panties, creating a sensational buzz.
