We already knew that the upcoming Barbie movie was going to be the most fashionable movie of 2023 after a) Margot Robbie proved she was the ultimate Barbie in the film trailer released in December, showcasing a slew of outfits that evoked as much sartorial serotonin as they did nostalgia b) Dua Lipa announced she is starring in the movie with an insane hair transformation and c) Warner Bros dropped another trailer for the Greta Gerwig-directed film, sending Barbie fans and fashion fanatics alike into meltdown.

Robbie paired her look with bubblegum pink peep-toe heels, and eschewed jewellery other than some dainty heart shaped diamond earrings, diamond ring and a yellow gold band from Jessica McCormack to let her outfit do all the talking (which we imagine would say “Hi Ken!”).

Ryan Gosling looked effortlessly cool in a bright pink bomber jacket from Acne Studios, layered with the t-shirt we all immediately added to our graphic tee wishlist: A white shirt with ‘Greta Gerwig’ sprawled across in the Barbie movie’s playful pink outlined font.
From their outfits to their (we assume unintentionally matching) dark blonde tresses, Margot and Ryan have officially upped the ante on the Barbie movie excitement, and we’re obsessed.
