Kate Beckinsale gave Margot Robbie a run for her money on Wednesday when she shared a photo of herself looking like a real-life Barbie doll. 

The Guilty Party star dazzled in a lilac and white bikini with retro, high-waisted bottoms and a figure-flattering top. 

She was lying down elegantly with her pet cat and her hair looked incredible. Her long, layered locks were voluminous and cascaded down around her shoulders.

Adding some extra glam, Kate accessorized with a pair of oversized, white sunglasses and pouted for the camera perfectly. 

It's hard to believe that Kate turned 50 in July, and she wasn't going to let the milestone pass without some fun and games. 

Kate gave fans a glimpse into her over the top festivities which were packed with dancing, feathers and glitter galore. One photo sparked a huge reaction from fans as they wondered if the actress was engaged.
