Margot Robbie showcased her exceptional commitment to fashion at the Golden Globes after-party by undergoing a complete Superstar Barbie dress transformation. This 33-year-old actress, known for her bold fashion choices, surprised everyone with not just one but two Barbie-inspired looks on January 8, proving her dedication to making a statement.
Stepping onto the red carpet, Robbie donned a dazzling rendition of the iconic bubble-gum pink dress worn by the Superstar Barbie doll from 1977, complete with a (presumably itchy) tulle boa and more. What adds an interesting twist is that the Superstar Barbie doll came with an interchangeable outfit, allowing children to switch from the pink dress to an even more glamorous ensemble. Channeling the essence of Day-to-Night Barbie, previously showcased at the film’s premiere in Seoul, South Korea, Robbie seized the opportunity for a stylish transformation, opting for an all-black attire for the Hollywood after-party.
After the film, centered around the triumphs and power of womanhood, received the Golden Globes’ inaugural cinematic and box office achievement award, Robbie was spotted leaving Chateau Marmont in Superstar Barbie’s iconic second look. While the switch to black was likely planned for the after-party, it also served as a nod to the Barbenheimer movement, adding an unexpected bonus to her fashion narrative.
Despite Golden Globes host Jo Koy’s reduction of Barbie to a “plastic doll with big boobies,” the film portrayed a deeper message about empowerment and triumph. Barbie, in the context of the movie, embraced fashion as a means of expression and empowerment, challenging the perception of it as a frivolous pursuit. This resonated with viewers, evident in the multitude of pink outfits worn in support.
In her acceptance speech as the film’s producer, Margot Robbie dedicated the honor to everyone worldwide who dressed up and visited movie theaters. Expressing gratitude to Ryan Gosling and the Golden Globes for creating an award celebrating movie fans, she emphasized that the movie is not just about Barbie but also about humans. The heartfelt conclusion emphasized the creation of the film with love, crafted for the audience.
