Margot Robbie surprises the audience with an unexpected black outfit and the refusal of pink at the premiere
After donning pink for the last several premieres, two-time Oscar nominee Margot Robbie opted for not-so-basic black to dazzle
the star-studded world premiere held at the Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall in downtown Los Angeles on Sunday.
The Australian 33-year-old worked with her stylist Andrew Mukamal to recreate the strapless trumpet gown, matching peep-toe kitten heels, opera gloves, and diamond choker on the original Barbie ‘Solo in the Spotlight’ doll from 1960.
There was even the same metallic shimmer, stiff tulle hemline, and red rose embellishment on the frilly frock.
Hairstylist Bryce Scarlett coiffed Margot’s voluminous faux-ny tail for the pink carpet ceremony.
Make-up artist Pati Dubroff ditched the blue eyeshadow on the doll and instead brought out Robbie’s brows, applied pink blush to her cheekbones, and a bright red pout.
The Asteroid City actress reportedly scored a $12.5M paycheck to produce and star in three-time Oscar nominee Greta Gerwig’s $100M-budget fantasy flick bringing the famous Mattel doll to life.
The 39-year-old filmmaker co-wrote the first live-action Barbie film with her babydaddy Noah Baumbach and they enlisted Oscar winner Helen Mirren to narrate it.
John Cena, Rhea Perlman, and Emerald Fennell are also featured in Barbie, which hits US/UK theaters on July 21.
Dua Lipa — who contributed the song Dance The Night to the soundtrack — flaunted her slim 5ft8in figure and flashed her white thong in a completely sheer mesh gown selected by stylist Lorenzo Posocco.
Margot posed in front of a pink Chevrolet Corvette just like the one she drives in Barbie.
Missing from Robbie’s side was her real-life Ken aka her husband of six years and LuckyChap Entertainment producing partner, Tom Ackerley.
However, the Babylon star did reunite with her onscreen leading man, two-time Oscar nominee Ryan Gosling, who plays Ken.
The Canadian 42-year-old bared his chest in a pink Gucci suit over a lighter pink button-up shirt and white Oxfords selected by stylist Mark Avery.
