#Barbiecore fashion isn’t going anywhere with Greta Gerwig setting a record for best opening by a female director, so expect plenty more pink hearts and sparkles

Margot Robbie stunned while promoting the film, with some of her best looks being designer versions of Barbie doll outfits, from bedazzled Moschino to ultra-glam Schiaparelli and Vivienne Westwood

Ever since the Barbie movie was announced, the world has been doused in pink with #Barbiecore style trending on red carpets, fashion runways and social media alike.

And we don’t expect to take off the rose-coloured glasses any time soon. The film earned a whopping US$155 million on opening weekend in America – setting a record for best opening in the US by a female director for Greta Gerwig – and Mattel’s upcoming Polly Pocket film directed by Lena Dunham and starring Emily in Paris’ Lily Collins is getting hyped again, too.

Margot Robbie, the living doll herself, definitely ramped up anticipation for Barbie by wearing one show-stopping look after another while promoting the film – although she rocked some outfits better than others.

Before the Barbie press tour ended due to the Sag-Aftra strike, Robbie wore a pink ensemble that was a bit too bold for the classic character.

She attended a press event in London, England, wearing a Vivienne Westwood ensemble comprised of a miniskirt and structured, balloon-sleeve jacket.

Though the outfit was fun and fashionable, the two-piece set – as well as her fur-covered heels – didn’t exactly match the doll’s classic aesthetic.

12. Bombshell red for a London red-carpet event

The vibrant minidress Robbie wore to a London red-carpet event was more bombshell than Barbie.

Robbie looked stunning in the custom-made Dilara Findikoglu minidress, which her stylist said was inspired by a red swimsuit worn by a 1962 doll.

She also wore the strapless, corseted look with slide-on sandals that look a lot like Barbie’s famous shoes.

However, the striking red colour would have worked better while promoting a different movie, and the dress inspiration wasn’t super clear without seeing photos of the doll.
