After stealing the limelight in her Vivienne Westwood gown, Margot slipped into a corset bodied red mini dress for the London premiere's photocall and afterparty. She paired the gown, which was designed by Turkish-British designer Dilara Findikoglu, with red mules and a matching satin handbag. Barbie dolls wore plenty of red party dresses, but Margot just gave it a 2023 cool-girl spin...

For the European premiere of the movie at Cineworld in Leicester Square, London, Margot oozed old Hollywood glamour in a replica of a 1960s Barbie ‘Enchanted Evening’ dress. She wore a satin pink gown by Vivienne Westwood which boasted a structured corset, a gathered at the waist with a single rosette, and a satin train. She paired with a ruffled white stole, full length white gloves and an exquisite three-stranded pearl choker from Assael pearls.

Barbie is no one-trick pony - pink isn't the only shade that she can pull off with flair. The actress was serving major 1960s glamour at the film's world premiere in Los Angeles. Channelling the 'Solo In The Spotlight' version of the doll, released in 1960, Margot stunned in a black glitzy fishtail gown by Schiaparelli. The piece featured a stiff, tulle hem, and she teamed it with elegant opera gloves, Manolo Blahnik mules and lavish jewels by Lorraine Schwartz. She completed the look with a sleek, doll-like ponytail.

Barbie wore a pink Pucci dress, so Margot Robbie wore a pink Pucci dress. During a photocall at the Four Seasons Hotel in Mexico City, Robbie wore a vintage mini dress that resembled the iconic Totally Hair Barbie from 1992, that was dressed in a pink, purple, green, and white patterned Pucci number. Margot paired her epic look with a quilted baby pink bag and statement interlocking 'c' from Chanel and a 90s Barbie doll essential - crimped hair.

For the Mexico premiere at Plaza Parque Toreo in Juárez, Margot stepped out the red (well, fuschia pink) carpet wearing a baby pink mini dress from Balmain, which boasted a corset style bodice and mesh long sleeves. Adding a touch of playfulness, a silver chainlink belt with charms hung from her waist, which matched her epic statement earrings. The look was an exact replica of the Earring Magic Barbie toy, released around 1991. She's refusing to break character and we cannot get enough.

Kicking off the list is Margot’s candy pink Bottega Veneta co-ord which she wore to celebrate the first day of the Barbie press tour. The actress was pictured among the palm trees in the Hollywood Hills wearing a pleated micro skirt and a matching bralette boasting neat tailoring with a hefty dose of girlish glamour. A pair of fuchsia open-toe Manolo Blahniks coupled with some white retro sunglasses and a woven Bottega bag topped off the star’s sunny Cali-girl look.

Margot jetted off to her native Sydney to attend a Barbie photo call. Needless to say, it broke the internet. The actress wore a bandeau monochrome striped mini dress by Hervé Léger, that paid homage to the first Barbie doll ever released. The famous doll was originally unveiled in 1959 and sported a crochet swimsuit with a chevron-esque design.

Cutesy fashion simply cannot exist without Moschino in tow. For another Sydney-based press conference, Margot wore a halterneck-style white dress by the tongue-in-cheek Italian label featuring a kitsch strawberry print, a belted waistline, a mini silhouette, and a fifties cut. A pair of oval-shaped white sunglasses and a white handbag with gold hardware tapped into the uber-femme fifties theme of the outfit.

Chanel tweed blazer

Even when she wasn’t on call, the actress ensured her wardrobe always nodded to her on-screen character. A dedicated Margot was seen in Sydney airport wearing a blossom pink tweed blazer sourced from Chanel’s Spring/Summer 1996 collection, a stone-coloured strapless bandeau and matching trousers. Behind her, she wheeled a vintage-inspired pink suitcase that mirrored the colour scheme of her ensemble.

The tweed garment was originally worn by Claudia Schiffer on the Chanel RTW runway, which then-creative director Karl Lagerfeld styled with a cropped white T-shirt and beige trousers.

On Sunday, Margot attended a photo call for Barbie at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills. Serving up preppy perfection, the star dazzled in a polka-dot pink Valentino dress featuring a cheeky mini silhouette, a frontal crisscross halterneck and a midriff cut-out. Valentino's creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli took inspiration from a dress from the label's spring/summer 1993 collection worn by Karen Mulder on the runway. The brown version of the dress boasted an XL polka dot print a near-identical design.

Margot completed her dashingly dotty aesthetic by slipping into some white court heels featuring a classic fit and sophisticated point-toe. Stylist Andrew Mukamal noted in an Instagram post that the inspiration for the outfit was a doll from Barbie's ‘Pink & Fabulous’ collection, released in 2015.

Iconic doesn’t quite cut it. Margot’s stylist shared an internet-breaking look worn by the actress à la Versace, which has already gone down in the history books as one of the most famed outfits ever concocted. Continuing to celebrate the Barbie Press Tour, Margot dazzled in s Versace Autumn-Winter 1994 Ready-to-Wear and Atelier Versace Fall/Winter 1994 at another Barbie event in Sydney Australia.

The ground-breaking look, which consisted of a cropped pink cable knit rollneck, a metallic pleated pink skirt, rolled-up lilac socks and blue Versace loafer heels, was famously worn by supermodel Cindy Crawford for a 90s Gianni Versace campaign. The shot of Cindy alongside fellow supermodels Claudia Schiffer and Christy Turlington is one of the most recognisable in the canon of fashion. A true *moment* in Gen Z jargon.

The cult of supermodels referenced Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiffer, Christy Turlington, Yasmeen Ghauri, Carla Bruni, Shalom Harlow, Kate Moss, Helena Christensen and Nadja Auermann.

It’s official, Margot Robbie’s Chanel contract is well and truly over. The Barbie star is now a certified Versace veteran and thanks to her latest look, just infused her think-pink wardrobe with nineties nostalgia. On Friday, the 32-year-old attended Vogue Australia’s Barbie Celebration Party at Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney and referenced another supermodel with her vintage outfit choice.

Margot hit the red carpet in a metallic rose pink mini dress featuring a bandeau silhouette, an all-over glitter finish, a boned corseted bodice, opulent chainmail and a pleated party-ready mini skirt. The number, sourced from Versace’s Autumn/Winter 1994 collection, was famously worn by supermodel Claudia Schiffer the same year during an after-party held at the Ritz Hotel in London.

Adding a dose of plastic-fantastic to her nostalgia attire, Margot slipped into a pair of transparent heels and wore her blonde bombshell locks down loose in beachy tousles.

She was joined on the red carpet by model Jesinta Franklin, who also opted for a piece by the Italian fashion house helmed by Donatella. Director Greta Gerwig (who donned royal-favourite brand The Vampire’s Wife), America Ferrera, and Issa Rae joined the Aussie star at the hotly-anticipated event.

Gucci sweatshirt

The former Once Upon A Time in Hollywood star was once again spotted touching down in an airport channelling her beloved character. Margot served up cosy couture in a bubblegum pink Gucci sweatshirt featuring the brand's recognisable insignia, which she paired with some rose pink tracksuit bottoms and flatform pink Gucci sliders with gold hardware. A pink tote was coolly hooked over her shoulder for her flight essentials.

Versace day-to-night moment

Margot dipped into the iconic character's archive at the film's premiere in Seoul, South Korea. The actress channelled not one, but two Barbie looks from 1985, inspired by the 'day-to-night' doll. She wore a hot pink suit co-ord, consisting of a figure-skimming knee-length skirt and a blazer with larger-than-life 80s shoulder pads. She topped things off with a playful boater, two-tone heels and a dazzling rhinestone brick phone accessory by Judith Leiber.

With a quick outfit change, the actress elevated her look to the next level. Margot sported a sparkly bodysuit featuring the label's signature Medusa emblem chain straps, overlayed with a bright pink asymmetric skirt, complete with frothy tulle. She finished her look with glossy mules by Manolo Blahnik.

Again in Seoul, Margot referenced a Barbie from the past. At a press conference the actress paid homage to the 1964 'Sparkling Pink' version of the doll. In sartorial tribute Margot wore a structured jacket, mini skirt, and matching pillbox hat, all of which were embellished with glitzy gems. 

The look was from boundary-breaking label Moschino's SS15 Ready-to-wear collection, and the pièce de résistance was undoubtedly her super saccharine heart-shaped bag.
