Margot Robbie Is a 60s Barbie in a Bedazzled Pink Skirt Suit

Margot Robbie won’t stop dressing like a Barbie doll—and we’re not mad about it.

The actor has once again tapped into the Mattel doll’s sartorial archives to re-create another glamorous Barbie look. At a press conference in Seoul earlier this week, Robbie wore a hot-pink Moschino skirt suit consisting of a fitted lapel-less blazer, an asymmetrical midriff-baring crop top, and a miniskirt. The trio of pieces—along with a matching hot-pink pillbox hat and a heart-shaped purse with a quilted exterior—were all bedazzled with glittering crystal studs. Finally, she topped the look off with bright pink heeled mules from Manolo Blahnik and pearl earrings from Tiffany & Co.

Celeb stylist Andrew Mukamal shared a picture of the outfit’s inspiration on Instagram: a 1964-era “Sparkling Pink” Barbie dressed in a shiny baby-pink evening coat, draped midi dress, and bow-adorned hat.

Mukamal is the visionary behind Robbie’s rotation of Barbie-inspired outfits during the rollout for Greta Gerwig’s highly anticipated Barbie movie, which officially drops in theaters later this month. Together, the stylist and actor have created a memorable press-tour wardrobe that often references the iconic doll’s storied fashion history.

For instance, at an appearance in Australia last month, Mukamal and Robbie drew inspiration from the black-and-white swimsuit worn by the original 1959 Barbie. Instead of wearing an exact replica of the one-piece, Robbie stunned in a black-and-white striped minidress by Hervé Léger, along with a pair of glossy black heels from Manolo Blahnik.

As an associate editor at HarpersBAZAAR.com, Chelsey keeps a finger on the pulse on all things celeb news. She also writes on social movements, connecting with activists leading the fight on workers' rights, climate justice, and more. Offline, she’s probably spending too much time on TikTok, rewatching Emma (the 2020 version, of course), or buying yet another corset.
