Margot Robbie Trades Barbie Pink for Molten Black Dress for Golden Globes After-Party

The Barbie press tour and award show campaign has been rife with all kinds of pink looks, with star and producer Margot Robbie unsurprisingly delivering some of the most memorable doll-inspired outfits to date. But don’t let the Barbiecore trend fool you—Robbie is still just as capable of serving up an all-black look (and looking incredibly glamorous while doing so).

Case in point: Robbie showed up at last night’s Golden Globes after-party in a glittery molten black gown by Giorgio Armani Privé. The dress was actually a darker re-creation of the hot-pink dress she wore to the ceremony. Like many other ensembles in Robbie’s press tour wardrobe, that red-carpet look drew inspiration from a real Barbie doll made by Mattel: specifically, the 1977 SuperStar Barbie. In addition to the dress’s sparkling pink sequins and halter neckline, Robbie had worn a ruffled fishnet tulle boa wrapped around her arms.

For the after-party, however, the actor ditched pink to wear a black version of the same gown and boa. She and stylist Andrew Mukamal styled the new look along the same lines as the earlier one, with Robbie stepping out in glossy black pumps and carrying a sparkly black clutch.

Last night, Barbie led the nominations with nine nods in seven categories, including Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, Best Screenplay – Motion Picture, Best Director – Motion Picture, and Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role in Any Motion Picture (for Ryan Gosling’s as Ken). It won the Golden Globes for Best Original Song – Motion Picture, for “What Was I Made For,” by Billie Eilish and Finneas, and for new category Cinematic and Box Office Achievement. Two other Barbie songs were also nominated: Dua Lipa’s “Dance the Night” and “I’m Just Ken,” by Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt. Robbie herself also earned a nomination for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, but lost to Emma Stone for the latter’s turn in Poor Things.
