Margot Robbie Goes Casual Chic For Special ‘Barbie’ Screening
Even Barbie needs a jeans day sometimes. Margot Robbie embraced laid-back luxury as she attended a SAG screening of “Barbie” in Los Angeles this week, opting for designer denim and a playful graphic tee rather than one of her character’s signature glamorous looks.
While the Australian actress might have chosen a more relaxed ensemble for the event, she demonstrated her flair for high fashion by selecting a slew of upscale pieces for her off-duty vibe. The “Suicide Squad” star donned a $3,100 gray wool blazer from Bottega Veneta, pairing the sophisticated topper with the Italian label’s $900 light-wash jeans. Adding a touch of whimsy was an astronaut-adorned Barbie graphic t-shirt from London-based brand Chinti & Parker.
Of course, Robbie didn’t abandon her affinity for doll-inspired style entirely, completing the look with a pair of candy pink Manolo Blahnik heels. With her tousled blonde waves and minimal makeup, she epitomized California cool.
The casual-chic ensemble was a noticeable departure from the array of glitzy full-Barbie transformations Robbie has showcased while promoting the film. Over the past weeks, she has fully leaned into recreate looks straight from Mattel’s iconic toy line, from a dazzling black gown channeling Solo in the Spotlight Barbie to a neon ‘90s ensemble inspired by Earring Magic Barbie.
In fact, Robbie’s scene-stealing promotional style has sparked such enthusiasm that she collaborated on a book with her stylist Andrew Mukamal entitled “Barbie: The World Tour” documenting all her show-stopping looks. The $50 fashion tome drops in March just ahead of the Academy Awards.
Robbie was joined at the Los Angeles event by co-stars Ryan Gosling, America Ferrera, Ariana Greenblatt and Rhea Perlman, along with director Greta Gerwig. When asked about the film’s Oscar snubs for best director and best actress, Robbie stayed upbeat, telling the audience: “There’s no way to feel sad when you know you’re this blessed.” Margot Robbie is finally sharing her thoughts on how this year’s Oscar nominations panned out, which resulted in widespread disappointment after the “Barbie” star did not earn a nod in the lead actress category.
She continued, “Obviously I think Greta should be nominated as a director, because what she did is a once-in-a-career, once-in-a-lifetime thing…”
Ultimately though, Robbie expressed delight at the movie’s eight total nominations including the coveted Best Picture nod: “Everyone getting the nods that they’ve had is just incredible, and the best picture nod.”
As for what glamorous look she’ll debut on the red carpet this awards seasons? We’ll be waiting with bated breath to see what this real-life Barbie pulls out of her fashion closet.
