over the weekend, thepress tour has touched down in London. And, unsurprisingly, Margot Robbie’s Mattel-inspired looks came along for the voyage. On Wednesday, the actress turned up to the step-and-repeat to pay homage to one of Barbie’s most famous silhouettes .
Robbie’s look from the British brand was modeled after the “Enchanted Evening” doll which was first produced by the toy giant in the 1960s. As with similar vintage Barbies, the doll has since turned into a collector’s item, it’s more formal look a departure from some of the more casual early Barbie outfits. So, what better for Robbie to reference than a retro Barbie ensemble?
Robbie’s look was an almost near replica—the satin gown featured a draped corseted bodice that fell into a form-fitting skirt and blush pink train. There was also an embroidered tulle stole at the top half of the dress and a rose brooch at the waist. Like her doll inspiration, the Australian accessorized the look with ivory opera gloves, clear heels, and a chunky pearl choker.
“We're finding Barbie references from decades past and just doing it really for the big Barbie fans out there, people who are actually collecting those Barbies,” Robbie told regarding her Barbie-inspired looks. “We're hoping to get them excited. We're pairing Barbie references with great designers.”
