Ahead of Barbie's big screen debut on July 21, the cast of the movie reconnected with their inner child and took on a "dress up your doll" challenge. Margot Robbie, Issa Rae, Kate McKinnon, Hari Nef, and Alexandra Shipp all play different versions of Barbie._ Updated: Jan 22, 2026 9:01 AM UTCPublished: Jul 11, 2023 8:25 PM UTC  Getty Images (3); Mattel Inc. (3)  by [Cady Lang](https://time.com/author/cady-lang/)  ## Cady Lang Updated: Jan 22, 2026 9:01 AM UTCPublished: Jul 11, 2023 8:25 PM UTC The marketing rollout for [Greta Gerwig’s _Barbie_](https://time.com/6289864/barbie-time-cover-story/) movie has been impressive, ubiquitous, and extremely pink, spanning countless brand collaborations and in-person activations, like the [life-size pink Barbie Dream House in Malibu](https://time.com/6287494/barbie-land-dream-house-movie-set-greta-gerwig/), now listed on Airbnb. But some of the most compelling marketing for the film comes straight from its star, Margot Robbie. As Robbie, who plays the world-famous doll in the film, has promoted _Barbie_ ahead of its July 21 release, fans have delighted in her impeccable red carpet [recreations of Barbie’s most glamorous looks](https://time.com/6290606/barbiecore-trend-history/) from over the years. Working with stylist Andrew Mukamal, Robbie has sported high fashion versions of iconic outfits worn by Barbie in different eras, from the legendary black and white striped swimsuit worn by the first Barbie in 1959 to the hot pink day-to-night working woman ensemble that a career-minded doll wore in 1985\. According to Robbie, the recreations are tributes to Barbie fans. **Read More:** [_How_ ](https://time.com/6289864/barbie-time-cover-story/)[Barbie ](https://time.com/6289864/barbie-time-cover-story/)[_Came to Life_](https://time.com/6289864/barbie-time-cover-story/) “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 [_People_ ](https://people.com/margot-robbie-says-her-barbie-looks-are-dedicated-to-fans-exclusive-7558587)at the film’s premiere in Los Angeles, where she wore a custom Schiaparelli recreation of the black cocktail dress worn by the 1960 “Solo in the Spotlight” Barbie. “We’re hoping to get them excited… We’re pairing Barbie references with great designers.” Robbie has likely sported her last Barbie-themed look ahead of the movie’s release date because of [the SAG-AFTRA strike](https://time.com/6294212/sag-aftra-actors-strike/), which officially launched on July 13\. The strike [unites members of the actors’ and writers’ unions](https://time.com/6294777/sag-wga-strike-1960/) on the picket line for the first time in more than 60 years, and prevents actors from doing promoting their film and TV projects. Robbie’s July 12 red carpet outfit for _Barbie_ may have been a subtle nod to the historic shutdown. Her pale pink Vivienne Westwood gown was a tribute to the “Enchanted Evening” Barbie—which, blogger [_Lainey Gossip_](https://www.laineygossip.com/cast-of-barbie-attends-what-is-likely-last-red-carpet-in-london-ahead-of-actors-strike/74416) pointed out, was released in 1960, the same year that actors and writers were last on strike at the same time. --- ### More from TIME --- That Robbie’s tour looks became a fashion phenomenon is fitting, given that Barbie creator Ruth Handler always intended for fashion to be a major part of the doll’s appeal. Fed up with the lack of toy options for girls, who typically could choose between baby dolls or paper dolls to play with, Handler created one through which they could embody their future dreams—in part by dressing her in different outfits. See all of Margot Robbie’s best red carpet looks beside the Barbie dolls that inspired them below. ## Pink and Fabulous Barbie, 2015  "Pink Fabulous" Barbie Mattel Inc.; Getty Images To recreate this flirty pink polka dot outfit, Mukamal turned to the archives of Valentino, taking inspiration from a maroon polka dot halter neck midi dress from the fashion house’s Spring/Summer 1993 collection. For Robbie’s look, Valentino updated the design in a bright pink and white polka dot fabric and shortened the hem to be a mini dress, which Mukamal paired with a yellow Valentino Rockstud purse, white Manolo Blahnik pumps, and a set of Assael pearl earrings and matching bracelet. **Read More:** [_We’re Ignoring the Real Reason_ Barbie _Might Dominate the Box Office_](https://time.com/6292203/barbie-box-office-women-movies/) ## The Original Barbie, 1959 > [](https://twitter.com/missbreton/status/1676289446529093633) For this iconic look, Mukamal pulled a black and white strapless bandage dress from Hervé Legér to pay homage to Barbie’s black and white striped one-piece swimsuit, then accessorized it with a pair of white Jacques Marie Mage cat eye sunglasses with blue lenses, Spinelli Kilcollin hoop earrings, and a pair of black Manolo Blahnik peep toe heeled mules. ## Day to Night Barbie, 1985  "Day to Night" Barbie Mattel Inc. (2); Getty Images (2) For the _Barbie_ premiere in South Korea, Mukamal re-created not one but two looks for the red carpet to pay tribute to the versatile style of Barbie as a working woman. For the first “day” look, he dressed Robbie in an Atelier Versace fuchsia skirt suit with white accents, which he accessorized with an ascot tie, boater hat, matching Manolo Blahnik spectator pumps, and a jeweled Judith Leiber purse shaped like a cell phone from the time. For the second “night” look, Robbie wore a party dress in the same shade of fuchsia with a full tulle skirt and matching peep toe heeled mules from Manolo Blahnik. **_Out now:_** _T_ _IME’s new special edition about Barbie is available at newsstands and_ [_here online_](https://amzn.to/3sLH7bn) ## Sparkling Pink Barbie, 1964  "Sparkling Pink" Barbie Mattel Inc.; Getty Images The inspiration for this outfit comes from a 1964 Barbie who wore a sparkling pink sheath dress with a matching jacket and pillbox hat. To recreate it, Mukamal dressed Robbie in an embellished dress and jacket set from Moschino, which he paired with a bow-festooned pillbox hat, matching Manolo Blahnik peep toe heeled mules, and a matching quilted heart purse. **Read More**: [_The Long, Complicated, and Very Pink History of Barbiecore_](https://time.com/6290606/barbiecore-trend-history/) ## Earring Magic Barbie, 1992  "Earring Magic" Barbie Mattel Inc.; Getty Images To recreate the look of the “Earring Magic” Barbie doll that debuted in 1992, Mukamal enlisted Balmain to create a hot pink mini dress with sheer sleeves and a leather bustier dress, which was paired with large star earrings and a matching star chain belt. ## Totally Hair Barbie, 1992  "Totally Hair" Barbie Mattel Inc.; Getty Images While the most outstanding feature of the 1992 “Totally Hair” Barbie doll may have been her ankle-length tresses, her swirl print mini dress gave it some serious competition. To recreate this look, Mukamal dressed Robbie in a Pucci mini dress and paired it with a pink Chanel purse, hot pink Manolo Blahnik pumps, and Taffin earrings. ## Solo in the Spotlight Barbie, 1960  "Solo Spotlight" Barbie Mattel Inc.; Getty Images For the _Barbie_ premiere in L.A., Mukamal drew inspiration from one of the most iconic Barbie looks of all time—the “Solo in the Spotlight” Barbie, who sports a sparkling black strapless sheath dress with a voluminous hem. To bring this look to life, he tapped Schiaparelli to recreate the dress, down to the red rose detail on the hem. Like the Barbie, Robbie accessorized with black opera gloves, black Manolo Blahnik peep toe heeled mules, a Lorraine Schwartz diamond necklace and earrings, and a pink handkerchief. **Read More:**[ _Why It Took 64 Years to Make a Barbie Movie_](https://time.com/6289787/barbie-movie-history-mattel/) ## Enchanted Evening Barbie, 1960  "Enchanted Evening" Barbie Mattel Inc.; Getty Images To recreate the ultra-femme formal outfit worn by 1960’s “Enchanted Evening” Barbie, Mukamal pulled a corseted pink Vivienne Westwood gown with a train and rosette detail at the waist. Robbie’s hair was also styled in an updo reminiscent of the doll’s high ponytail. He paired the look with a fur stole, an Assael cultured pearl choker, and embellished Christian Louboutin pumps. ## Transcript My Barbie needs more time. Okay. Not looking punk, I don't think I'm in love with what I've done. I think my farthest of hurts all expectations and I just I'm so proud. I don't want it. I don't want can Oh my God. Okay, now what is punk? I'm not a fashionista you guys but I think I know Punk. When I see it. I actually do. Love the look, I don't know if it's but I thought about it.

This is what I Met Gala outfit. Looks like I chose a big helmet shoes. Are a bag. We're open at 7, the band with a little bit of crack out this one hops. Wow. I feel like she's, she's got like a contract. She can fly back and they want to just like it's like they were the mini dresses cuz they're not trying to do the gown dress code, but they left like the edges exposed. I thought about sunglasses but then it's like, you know, she's an up-and-coming independent film actress. So how are the Getty Image Photography is going to recognize her if she wears sunglasses? So, she took them off last second, Pirates. Understanding of this world is so nuanced. I have no recollection of playing with the pain but don't tell him that I love him. No, very handsy. So cool. Come on, Barbie. Oh my God. So hard to get her feet. How do we have? The dexterity is kids to do that? We had, we had nothing else to do. Is it a four-year because she facilitated the end of the writers strike. My Barbie is obviously a singer at this moment. She's hitting the high note. I am a Barbie girl. So mine has infiltrated either the government of North Korea or an alien invasion and their government. She's warned their outfits and she's worked herself like a Manchurian Candidate into the highest levels of leadership and taking them down from the inside because they took it from her, okay? It wasn't. And she lost the back of her pants and a fire, okay? So but you went straight from that to the time cover. Shoot. Yes. My Barbie wrote a book called women. It's about women, any idea you've ever had about women, any problem you've ever had with a woman, she she fixed all of it with her book and she's just signed a deal with Netflix for a film adaptations called woman. She's kind of the face of women everywhere, but she's wearing her sunglasses because she's like, who am I my email? And my lady is the first female president of the United States. And she wear policy so she's wearing a l movie. That's right. I definitely have worried about you be going up, Dale kind of turned into weird, Bobby off. I got played with a few times. What's cooking good-looking welcome, welcome to my house. Let me see, weird Bobby. We mean like a Bobby has been played with too hot and the real world and they hands up being a little messed up and maybe they got some Crayon on their face and scissors. Markers other stuff, you know, you missed your Barbie. I heard someone who looked like, whoever it was was amazing and I really don't like it when someone else does my hands or feet or maybe I was trying to do my earnings but yeah, the foot should I got all three of us like how many times but like the Chrissy Teigen sweet nothing like it was a screen. Grab of my feet in front of the shower and it was like I need to know everything about this. Like how many take? So she harness with Lola and we probably did? I don't know? Maybe eight takes. No, I didn't wasn't wearing a harness but I did hold on to like a ball when I got back to that. I was still steady holding, it would be like tomorrow. It probably is I'm at once again. Joker. Okay, she is a superhero. Her name is hot girl. She gets really hot. Literally it's baked potato Couture. She's burning evil. Evil know. She's burning that she's melting it down to liquid. Heat proof glass. We're going to see My superhero is. That's her name of the ability to inflict cramps on men. So she dress. Provocatively, the pimp then and then she's like texting. So he his superpower is to be invisible, which is why he's not wearing anything? Because when he goes invisible then you see the clothes walking around. So he has to be naked all the time with my boy, like to see a no, because it's attached to it goes invisible, might be out for the count. This is some sandwich girl. Okay, so her superpowers, you always have to give to someone who needs food, but the problem is, she also looks like a flasher when she goes up to someone and she's like a, you want something? I got something for you and they're like, they run away and she's like, oh, it's a sandwich here. Like we don't believe you and she's like, This is animal, she can turn into any type of animal giving cheetah, she's giving leopard. She's giving polar bear realness instead of like roaring. She does run. So she'll be like I'm impressed with the creativity. That's been put on display here and has been brought out of all of us. Grown people just the presence of the dolls and the clothes it really is an incredible thing. I needed me to it's a productive. Can we take this? ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/6293686/margot-robbie-barbie-inspired-press-tour-looks/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/6293686/margot-robbie-barbie-inspired-press-tour-looks/"},"headline":"See Every Barbie-Inspired Look From Margot Robbie's Press Tour","datePublished":"2023-07-11T20:25:11.000Z","dateModified":"2026-01-22T09:01:32.000Z","description":"While promoting 'Barbie,' Margot Robbie has taken inspiration from actual looks worn by the famous doll","url":"https://time.com/6293686/margot-robbie-barbie-inspired-press-tour-looks/","keywords":["fashion","culturepod"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/fashion/","name":"fashion"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/6293686/margot-robbie-barbie-inspired-press-tour-looks/","name":"See Every Barbie-Inspired Look From Margot Robbie's Press Tour"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Margot Robbie and the \"Barbie\" Cast Are Here for a Barbie Challenge","description":"Ahead of Barbie's big screen debut on July 21, the cast of the movie reconnected with their inner child and took on a \"dress up your doll\" challenge.
