Margot Robbie embraces inner Barbie in a pleated pink miniskirt and bralette to kick off the press tour
Margot Robbie showed off her best Barbie look in an all-pink ensemble in new photos uploaded Saturday to the film’s main Instagram page to celebrate the start of the press tour.
The Australian-born star, 32, who recently appeared in a new teaser for Greta Gerwig’s live-action movie based on the popular Mattel doll, was seen posing a few poses with a pastel pink convertible parked on a quaint Beverly Hills street.
The blonde beauty put on a leggy show in a pale pink pleated miniskirt and donned a matching bralette top that showed off her toned body.
She slipped into a pair of open-toed, pink heels and easily slung a pink handbag over her right arm for a stylish flare.
The actress’s long blonde locks were parted in the middle and fell effortlessly over her shoulders in elegant curls.

Margot embellished the fashionably Barbie-themed ensemble by adding a pair of dainty earrings and donned white-rimmed sunglasses for a finishing touch.
The Wolf Of Wall Street star was pictured next to the sleek, vintage convertible and posed next to the open car door next to the driver’s side.
She quickly dropped into the seat and turned to rest her hands on the back of the vehicle.
The actress smiled cheerfully for the camera as a row of palm trees stretched out behind her, fringing the crystal clear blue sky in sunny Los Angeles.
The caption of the post shared on the movie’s official Instagram page read, “It’s the best day ever! The Barbie press tour has officially begun,” followed by a red heart emoji.
Before the film hits theaters next month on July 21, there will be a worldwide press tour to count down the days until Barbie’s big big screen premiere for anticipated fans and viewers.
Margot will stop in cities like London, Berlin and Seoul. A special fan event is scheduled for June 30 in Sydney, where Robbie will also be joined by fellow castmates, Issa Rae and America Ferrera, as well as Greta Gerwig.
Gerwig, who is known for directing past films such as Little Women (2019) and Lady Bird (2017), not only took on the role of director of the upcoming fantasy comedy, but also co-wrote the screenplay with Noah Baumbach .

During an interview with BAFTA earlier in April, per IndieWireMargot, who is also a producer on the project, admitted that after reading the script, she assumed the film would not come to fruition.
“The first time I read the Barbie script, my reaction was, ‘Ah! This is so good. What a shame it will never see the light of day, because they’re never going to let us make this movie,'” she said, and proudly added, “But they did.”
The Barbie movie stars not only Margot, but also Ryan Gosling, America Ferrera, Will Ferrell, Issa Rae, Hari Nef, Simu Liu and Dua Lipa. Different 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 journey to the real world to find the true meaning of happiness.
Filming began last year in 2022 at Warner Bros. Studios in England, while some exterior shots were primarily filmed outdoors in Los Angeles.
During an interview with Fashion last month in May, Margot explained that the movie was meant to cater to both fans of the Mattel dolls, as well as those who don’t like or even “hate” the dolls.
“We obviously want to honor the 60-year legacy of this brand,” she explained to the outlet. “But we have to recognize that there are a lot of people who aren’t fans of Barbie.”
And in fact, are not just indifferent to Barbie. They actively hate Barbie. And have a real problem with Barbie. We need to find a way to acknowledge that,” the star added.
Collaborating: Gerwig, who is known for directing past films such as Little Women (2019), not only took on the role of director of the upcoming fantasy comedy, but also co-wrote the screenplay; the two seen in NYC earlier this month
Goals: During an interview with Vogue last month in May, Margot explained that the film was intended to cater to both fans of the Mattel dolls, as well as those who dislike or even “hate” the dolls.
Taking the role: She also talked about the sexualization of Barbie and how she wanted to portray the character in the film
She also talked about the sexualization of Barbie and how she wanted to portray the character in the film. “I’m like, ‘Okay, she’s a doll. She’s a plastic doll. She has no organs.'”
“If she has no organs, she has no reproductive organs. If she has no reproductive organs, would she feel sexual desire? No, I don’t think she could,” Robbie continued.
“She’s sexualized. But she should never be sexy. People can project sex onto her. Yes, she can wear a short skirt, but because it’s fun and pink. Not because she wanted you to see her ass.”
The live-action Barbie movie will premiere in cinemas in Australia on July 20, and the following day on July 21 in the US and UK.
