Margot Robbie perfectly embodies the beloved titular doll in Greta Gerwig's movie. But the actress and executive producer went one step further during the film's promotional tour this summer, dressing in a new, Barbie-inspired look for each red carpet event!Robbie and her stylist, Andrew Mukamal, collaborated on each iconic look, adding a thrilling new layer to the movie for lifelong fans of the legendary doll and her enviable fashions.There was this classic black custom Schiaparelli Haute Couture gown for 's Los Angeles premiere, which paid homage to «Solo in the Spotlight» Barbie from 1960 — even down to the red rose accent on the skirt, opera gloves and sheer handkerchief.For the European premiere in London, the pair paid tribute to iconic British designer Vivienne Westwood, with a couture gown modeled after 1990's «Enchanted Evening» Barbie.

Rumors went viral in recent weeks that the real Barbara Handler made a cameo appearance in the movie Barbie, but that wasn’t actually her in the film.

Greta Gerwig’s bubblegum fever dream “Barbie” gave clever nod to ill-fated Barbie Land dolls — such as pregnant Midge, Ken’s BFF Allan, Tanner the pooping pup and Growing Up Skipper, to name a few.“I think I got most of them in there,” Gerwig, 39, told IndieWire of brushing off the decades of dust on the misfit toys for the new summer flick.“There’s like a million of them.”Among the many popular iterations of Barbie over the last 64 years, these unfortunate few fell flat.The “weird,” as “Barbie” narrator Helen Mirren says, concept of the pregnant figurine was born into Mattel lore in 2002.Midge — whose full name is Margaret Hadley Sherwood in the Barbieverse — was originally billed as Barbie’s best friend, but was meant to be the “ugly sidekick” to Barbie’s “dream girl” persona, M.G. Lord, the author of “Forever Barbie: The Unauthorized Biography of a Real Doll,” told Buzzfeed News.When Midge, played by Emerald Fennell in the summer blockbuster, was launched in 1963, the redhead could fit in all of her bestie’s outfits.But that ended when she was re-released with her magnetic bump that revealed an infant inside — nevermind the anatomical logistics.

To say Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” is a hit is a gross understatement. Not only did the film wow critics, with a great 90% on Rotten Tomatoes, but the comedy has connected with the general public in a massive way, earning a huge $162 million in its first three days.

movie is, of course, full of Barbies and Kens, but Greta Gerwig's vibrant and detailed Barbie Land also includes plenty of Easter eggs for only the most devoted fans, including accessories, outfits and some of the all-but-forgotten dolls that Mattel has discontinued over the years. Margot Robbie's Stereotypical Barbie is introduced to some of the less-popular members of the Barbie doll canon when her existential crisis has her returning to Weird Barbie's (Kate McKinnon) house, lamenting the way her fellow beautiful Barbies have been brainwashed into complacency by the Kens.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director The search for the perfect Barbie and Ken actors in Greta Gerwig’s record-breaking blockbuster “Barbie” fell to casting directors Lucy Bevan and Allison Jones, who recently revealed to Vanity Fair that “Saturday Night Live” Emmy nominee Bowen Yang, “Schitt’s Creek” Emmy winner Dan Levy and “Dear Evan Hansen” Tony winner Ben Platt were all in the running to land roles as different variations of Ken. “They were definitely really different, but they had to feel like a cohesive group,” Bevan said about the search for the perfect Ken ensemble. “You wanted to cast people who were really going to get on and be great and enjoy it.” “Barbie” was shot in London under strict COVID protocols, which meant every cast member was required to spend three months in the city close to production.

summer blockbuster “Oppenheimer” is surely not bombing at the box office, but there is one scene in the movie that isn’t hitting the right target.One moment in the three-hour film starring Cillian Murphy shows a historical error that viewers pointed out on Twitter.In the shot, the Irish actor, 47, stands in the middle of a crowd, who all clap and cheer for him while they wave American flags.The dramatic epic about the life of nuclear physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer takes place in the early 1940s, but the flags featured white stars that represent 50 states — despite the country only having 48 in 1945 when the scene took place.Hawaii and Alaska, the last two entities to be annexed to the United States, were not added until 1959.Eagle-eyed fan Andy Craig revealed the mistake on social media, sharing a snapshot of the scene, and his post quickly went viral.“It was good and all, but I’ll be that guy and complain they used 50-star flags in a scene set in 1945,” he tweeted.Other fans agreed with his discovery and even called out Nolan, 52, for the incorrect usage.“Totally ruined the film for me,” a person claimed.

Margot Robbie appeared in her first movie back in 2009, and in less than 15 years she’s landed starring roles in some of the era’s biggest blockbusters.
