Margot Robbie Brings Drama to ‘Barbie’ Los Angeles Premiere in Couture
Margot Robbie made a glamorous arrival on Sunday in Los Angeles for the global premiere of “Barbie.” The actress, who stars in the titular role, wore a shimmering reproduction of the 1960s special edition Solo in the Spotlight Mattel doll.

The strapless Schiaparelli Haute Couture dress was embellished with sequins and featured a dramatic flounce adorned with a single red rose. She accessorized with black opera gloves, a multi-tiered diamond necklace, diamond earrings, patent leather sandals and a pink silk mousseline scarf.
Robbie amplified the vintage glamour with a splash of red lipstick, side-swept bangs and a ponytail that ended with a demi curl.

Many of Robbie’s “Barbie” press tour looks have taken inspiration from the popular doll. Last week in Seoul, the actress channeled 1984’s “Day to Night” Barbie in two custom Versace looks, while in late June, Robbie attended a Sydney photocall wearing a black and white striped Hervé Léger dress reminiscent of the original 1959 doll.
