Every reference to Barbie in Margot Robbie’s plastic fantastic press tour wardrobe


Margot Robbie is moving closer to real-life Barbie doll status as she continues to pay sartorial tribute to Mattel’s most iconic toy on the film’s press tour.
Some people commit to method acting, but when it comes to Margot Robbie, star of Greta Gerwig’s upcoming cultural phenomenon Barbie, method dressing is the new trend taking over the red carpet.

That is to say, as the pinker-than-previously-thought-possible film continues its worldwide press tour, Robbie has been rocking up to each event with a wardrobe stacked full of references to original Barbie dolls and their iconic costumes.
Thanks to the stellar work of Andrew Mukamal, the celebrity fashion stylist working closely with Robbie, every single ‘fresh-out-the-plastic’ outfit on the tour has been nothing short of incredible.

From the OG Barbie’s black and white striped swimsuit to a two-in-one reveal in the form of 1985’s ‘Day-to-Night Barbie’, Robbie has proved that this Barbie can serve looks.
As excitement builds for the summer blockbuster, we’ve compiled a list of all the classic Barbie references Robbie has incorporated into her wardrobe as part of Barbie‘s plastic fantastic press tour, complete with the original Barbie dolls she’s paying homage to.

Classic Swimsuit/Original Barbie (1959)At a press call, Ms Robbie donned a classic black and white striped Hervé Léger dress – inspired by the very first Barbie, released in 1959. Though Robbie’s version was not crocheted wool, the black and white stripes are instantly recognisable as Mattel’s most iconic toy’s first ever outfit.
Another callback to this outfit was seen in the very first trailer for Barbie.

‘Sparkling Pink’ Barbie (1964)In Seoul, Robbie donned a crystal-embellished skirt, blazer and top, complete with pillbox hat at a press conference – all from Moschino.
The look is in reference to a 1964 Barbie in the same outfit, though the doll didn’t come with Robbie’s fabulous heart-shaped quilt bag.
‘Day-to-Night’ Barbie (1985)The Seoul premiere of Barbie had fans truly gagged – in part, due to Margot’s double whammy, reversible outfit reveal.
Arriving as ‘Day to Night Barbie’ from 1985, Robbie was dressed head to toe in a shocking pink business-or-leisure suit (custom Versace), before swapping into a glamorous evening number.
‘Earring Magic’ Barbie (1992)For the premiere of Barbie in México City, Robbie and Mukamal recreated an iconic 1992 Barbie look.
‘Earring Magic’ Barbie came complete with a chunky silver belt, pink pumps and – obviously – some gorgeous dangly earrings, all faithfully recreated. We are glad that Robbie didn’t recreate the updo, we have to say.
‘Pink & Fabulous’ Barbie (2015)Complete with hot pink, polka-dotted Valentino mini-dress, iconic yellow handbag and white heels, Margot Robbie’s look for a photo call in Los Angeles (25 June) is reminiscent of a Pink & Fabulous Barbie from 2015.
Starring Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, Hari Nef, Ncuti Gatwa, Kate McKinnon and more, Barbie lands in cinemas 21 July.

‘I am officially off the market’: When Margot Robbie revealed she made the ‘conscious’ decision of not dating actors


Margot Robbie revealed her decision to not date actors because of the media scrutiny that came with a public relationship of two high-profile actors
Back in 2015, A-lister Margot Robbie made a declaration that she would not be dating any actors. The actress may have alluded to her fiance Tom Ackerley, who she married the following year in 2016. In an exclusive interview with Marie Claire, she revealed that being in a relationship as an actor herself came with its own set of challenges. She believed that dating someone who was popular would add on to the media scrutiny.

Margot Robbie opened up on why she made a conscious decision to not date actorsTalking to Marie Claire, she claimed, “I am officially off the market.” She then shared the reasoning behind her decision and added, “I made a conscious decision not to date actors.” She continued to explain, “But not because I hate actors. That’s a nasty generalization to make, and that’s not the case. People take such an interest in your love life when you have a profile, it puts a lot of stress on a relationship.”
The Barbie actress continued, “So two people with profiles, I figure it’s just double the amount of scrutiny, and I’d like to avoid that at all costs.” This came after reports of her locking lips with Tarzan co-star Alexander Skarsgard started making rounds. It was reported that she was caught kissing the actor during the Sundance Film Festival.

Margot Robbie revealed she opted for a minimal lifestyle even after becoming an actorIn the interview, Robbie also opened up about how she was adapting to fame. She shared, “I have a normal 24-year-old life. If I were a waitress, I’d probably have the exact same lifestyle. I’d go to the same clubs I go to already, live in the same house with the same housemates, hang out with the same people.”
However, Margot Robbie tied the knot with Tom Ackerley who is an English producer and actor. The duo met on the sets of 2013 movie Suite Francaise where Tom was working as an assistant director. Post marriage, both of them launched their production company LuckyChap Entertainment.

‘Rocky’ Was Quite Different In His Original Screenplay, Sylvester Stallone Claims


Sylvester Stallone took his friend’s advice on a rewrite of the original screenplay to Rocky. A few tweaks later, he was on his way to major success.
In the new Netflix documentary Sly, Stallone discussed how he initially conceived of the project, which had a much harder edge. In the early version, Rocky was depicted as a “thuggish” character, inspired by Martin Scorsese’s crime drama, Mean Streets.

But Stallone’s perspective changed when a friend read the script and thought the boxer was too cruel for audiences to actually care about him.
Stallone recalled her crying.

“She goes, ‘I hate Rocky. I hate him. He’s cruel. He hits people. He beats them up.’”
Stallone took it to heart, and asked what he could do to soften the character.

“I said, ‘what if you stop short of it?’ Like, maybe he almost did. He could have, that’s his job, but he doesn’t?’ ‘That’d be nice,’” he added. “I said, ‘What if he had a girlfriend or something?’ ‘Yeah, that’s nice.’ So I go back, start writing that: ‘Girlfriend. Nice.’”
$117 million in box office later, a franchise was born.

Stallone also revealed that actor Dolph Lundgren sent him to the hospital during one fight scene in Rocky IV.
“Dolph Lundgren… he pulverized me,” Stallone says in the documentary. “Later that night, my heart started to swell—which happens when the heart hits the chest—and then my blood pressure went up to 260, and they thought I was going to be talking to angels. Next thing I know, I’m in intensive care, where I’m surrounded by nuns, and I thought, ‘OK, that’s curtains.’”
Stallone was in the hospital for nine days following the incident, praying for “one more round.”
“For the first minute of the fight, it is going to be a free-for-all,” Stallone told Lundgren. The Swedish actor joked in a separate interview that all he did was “obey orders,” explaining, “[Stallone] was the boss. I did what he told me.”
Doctors allegedly told Stallone that he received a blow to the ribs that made his heart rattle around in his ribcage, a condition typically seen in head-on collisions. “I did hit a bus, of sorts,” Stallone joked.
