Every Outfit from Margot Robbie's 'Barbie' Press Tour, Ranked from Worst to Best!

Margot Robbie isn’t the only star that has been turned into a Barbie doll.

It’s all about Barbie this summer.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director As a producer of “Barbie,” it was up to Margot Robbie to convince a studio that her vision for the film would lead to financial success. No wonder the Oscar nominee flat out said during pitch meetings that she believed a “Barbie” movie could bring in $1 billion at the worldwide box office. Such success depended on landing writer-director Greta Gerwig, Robbie stressed to execs. “I think my pitch in the green-light meeting was the studios have prospered so much when they’re brave enough to pair a big idea with a visionary director,” Robbie said in an interview with Collider. “And then I gave a series of examples like, ‘dinosaurs and [Steven] Spielberg’ – pretty much naming anything that’s been incredible and made a ton of money for the studios over the years. And I was like, ‘And now you’ve got Barbie and Greta Gerwig.’ And I think I told them that it’d make a billion dollars, which maybe I was overselling, but we had a movie to make, okay?”

Barbie press tour, starring Margot Robbie in glorious designer dresses, came to a close a week before the movie's premiere due to the SAG-AFTRA strike, though given that the extended deadline was known for months, it's highly likely that the “Enchanted Evening” and looks were always meant to be the grand finales. There probably isn't a fuchsia gown sitting in a storage unit somewhere, unworn.

Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach are in the movie-making business — but they choose to keep their romance out of the limelight whenever possible.

For someone who’s 11.5 inches tall and weighs under 8 ounces, poor Barbie’s had to carry an awfully heavy load over the years on that slender, plastic back of hers.

Margot Robbie, the Spice Girls were no feminist wannabes.In fact, the two-time Oscar nominee attributes some of her own ideas about feminism — which she and director Greta Gerwig explore in the much-anticipated “Barbie” movie, out July 21 — to the 1990s British girl group.“The Spice Girls changed everything and dictated my version of second-wave feminism,” Robbie, 33, told Rolling Stone.“It’s like, ‘Oh my God, they wear little sparkly dresses and push-up bras and then have a girl gang? That’s what I want to be!’”Growing up in the ’90s, the Aussie-born Robbie also had a pink passion for the Aqua bop “Barbie Girl.” At the urging of the “Babylon” actress, the 1997 hit was included on the “Barbie” soundtrack — reworked as a “Barbie World” duet featuring rappers Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice.“I was like, ‘Greta, how are we going to incorporate this song? We can’t do a Barbie movie and not have a nod to Aqua’s ‘Barbie Girl.’ It has to be in there,’” Robbie told a reporter.

Scots actress Sharon Rooney has cancelled her appearance at the screening of the Barbie movie in Glasgow due to the Screen Actors Guild strike.

The Barbie World keeps expanding!

That “2001: A Space Odyssey” allusion in the teaser trailer for “Barbie” was not just a silly gimmick. Without the full context of the film, casting Margot Robbie’s incarnation of the iconic toy doll in the role of a Kubrickian monolith felt like a wink from filmmaker Greta Gerwig that she had not sold her soul entirely to Mattel.

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic Check out the brain on Barbie! Sure, she’s just a doll, but that doesn’t mean she has to be an airhead. Therein lies “Lady Bird” director Greta Gerwig’s inspired, 21st-century solution to bringing one of America’s most iconic playthings to life on the big screen. Combine that with the casting of Margot Robbie in the title role, and “Barbie” is already starting out on the right, perfectly arched foot. So what if this high-concept comedy falls a bit flat in the final stretch? Barbie’s strength as a brand comes from her aspirational appeal. While some have rightly criticized the doll for setting unrealistic beauty standards, Barbie also showed girls they can do and be anything, as different models have portrayed her as president, a rocket scientist, even trans. You know who else sets unrealistic beauty standards? Movie stars. Like Barbie, they serve as role models, which is what makes Gerwig’s take on the ultra-popular toy line so darn smart. Robbie might be a dead-ringer for Barbie, but her moxie powers the performance. Gerwig has made the kind of family film she surely wishes had been available to her when she was a girl, sneaking a message (several of them, really) inside Barbie’s hollow hourglass figure.

There were pop-up cafes, a Forever 21 clothing collaboration and viral Instagram filters galore. Running time: 114 minutes. Rated PG-13 (suggestive references and brief language).

It’s finally here: Barbie movie release week!

At a time when the industry is suffering through historic dual strikes by the WGA and SAG-AFTRA, the motion picture industry is poised to see an enormous weekend at the box office with Warner Bros./Mattel’s long awaited toy feature adaptation Barbie and Christopher Nolan’s World War II era three-hour adult drama Oppenheimer reaping a combined $260M+ global start.

The “Barbenheimer” opening weekend is finally upon us!

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter “Barbenheimer” is officially here, and the battle between the bomb and the bombshell is about to ignite the box office. Greta Gerwig’s cotton candy-colored “Barbie,” starring Margot Robbie as the plastic, fantastic doll, is expected to generate a huge $95 million to $110 million from 4,200 North American theaters over the weekend. Given the omnipresence of “Barbie” (the marketing is practically inescapable, with enough memes and marketing tie-ins to last a lifetime), initial estimates are all over the place. Warner Bros. is projecting a more conservative $75 million to start, while rivals and exhibitors believe the PG-13 movie could make as much as $140 million between Friday and Sunday.

Superbad” and “Juno,” all that fame at an early age nearly ran him out of the business, Cera, now 35, told the Guardian.“There was a point [at 19] where I wanted to stop taking jobs that would make me more famous,” Cera confessed, in a freewheeling interview about saying no to smartphones, fatherhood and being overwhelmed by early fame. “I didn’t know how to handle walking down the street,” the “Scott Pilgrim” actor said of life in his late teens.
