Margot Robbie joins Ryan Gosling at UK premiere of Barbie

Margot Robbie stuns in a tulle-trimmed satin gown as she channels 1960s Barbie doll with co-star Ryan Gosling at star-studded UK premiere of Mattel film

Margot Robbie stunned in an embroidered tulle-trimmed satin gown as she joined Ryan Gosling for the star-studded UK premiere of Barbie in London on Wednesday.

The leading actress, 33, has debuted a series of looks inspired by the doll in the lead up to the film’s release, and chose to channel a 1960s Enchanted Evening figurine for the hotly anticipated event at Cineworld, Leicester Square. 

She looked simply sensational in the light pink dress by Vivienne Westwood Couture that nipped in at the waist with a corseted bodice before falling into a glamorous train. 

Margot topped off the vintage look with a pair of silk opera gloves and a layered pearl choker, elevating her height with a pair of silver heels. 

The custom dress was a special development for Margot from the Vivienne Westwood 2023 Couture collection Moonlight gown – a corseted asymmetric look with defined drapery, reminiscent of Ancient Greek statues.

Ryan, who stars alongside her as Ken, nailed the retro-theme in a pastel coloured slimline suit. 

The actor, 42, layered a pale blue satin shirt underneath his jacket, which he left slightly unbuttoned, and completed his ensemble with some white leather brogues.  

Elsewhere, Dua Lipa dazzled in a sheer rhinestone gown as she posed for photos at the event. 

The singer, 27, looked sensational in the multicoloured number that shimmered under the lights on the hot pink carpet.

She accessorised the plunging neckline with a quirky, statement choker and a matching pair of earrings. 

Along with making a special cameo appearance as Mermaid Barbie in the upcoming fantasy comedy, which hits theatres on July 21, Dua also had the chance to make music for the Barbie soundtrack.

The catchy track, Dance The Night, is the lead single on the soundtrack, and officially dropped a few months earlier on May 25.

Other music artists are set to feature on the album as well, such as Ava Max, Ice Spice, Lizzo, Nicki Minaj, Billie Eilish. Ryan Gosling, who plays Ken in the live-action movie, will also appear on the soundtrack with a song called, I’m Just Ken.

Nicola Coughlan made sure to bring the glamour as she stepped out at Barbie’s European premiere.

Margot, who tackled the leading role of Barbie, has recently been kept busy on a global press tour with other cast members, and made stops in countries such as Australia, South Korea, and Mexico.

Greta Gerwig, who is known for directing past films such as Little Women (2019) and Lady Bird (2017), not only took on the role as director of the upcoming fantasy comedy, but also co-wrote the screenplay with Noah Baumbach.

The Barbie movie not only stars Margot, Ryan, and Dua, but also America Ferrera, Will Ferrell, Issa Rae, Hari Nef, and Simu Liu. Various versions of both the Barbie and Ken dolls will be portrayed, with actress Helen Mirren narrating the film.

The premise of the movie, which has a budget of $100 million, follows Barbie and Ken as they travel to the real world in order to find the true meaning of happiness.

Filming began last year in 2022 at Warner Bros. Studios in England, while some exterior shots were notably filmed outdoors in Los Angeles, such as Venice. 

During a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Greta revealed that Margot had felt ‘self-conscious’ while filming the Venice Beach scene. 

‘But when we were actually shooting on Venice Beach, with Margot and Ryan in neon rollerblading outfits, it was fascinating because it was actually happening in front of us,’ she explained. 

‘People would go by Ryan, high-five him, and say, “Awesome, Ryan, you look great!” And they wouldn’t actually say anything to Margot. They’d just look at her. It was just surreal. In that moment, she did feel self-conscious.’

Gerwig added, ‘And as the director, I wanted to protect her. But I also knew that the scene we were shooting had to be the scene where she felt exposed. And she was exposed, both as a celebrity and as a lady.’ 

‘To be fair, Ryan was like, “I wish I wasn’t wearing this vest.” But it was a different kind of discomfort.’

Barbie will officially hit theaters later this month on July 21, the same day Christopher Nolan’s historical epic drama, Oppenheimer, also releases.
