Margot Robbie stunned in an embroidered satin dress trimmed with tulle as she joined Ryan Gosling for the star-studded British premiere of Barbie in London on Wednesday.
The 33-year-old leading lady has unveiled a range of doll-inspired looks ahead of the film’s release, opting to use a 1960s Enchanted Evening character for the much-anticipated event at Cineworld in Leicester Square.
She looked simply sensational in the bright pink Vivienne Westwood Couture dress, which is fitted at the waist with a corset bodice and then falls into a glamorous train.
Margot completed the vintage look with a pair of silk opera gloves and a layered beaded choker, and accentuated her height with a pair of silver heels.
The bespoke gown was a special development for Margot from Vivienne Westwood’s 2023 couture collection Moonlight Gown – an asymmetric corset look with defined draping reminiscent of ancient Greek statues.

Ryan, who plays Ken alongside her, nailed the retro touch perfectly in a pastel slimline suit.

Elsewhere, Dua Lipa shone in a sheer rhinestone dress as she posed for photos at the event.
The 27-year-old singer looked sensational in the colorful number, which shimmered under the lights on the pink carpet.
She accessorized the plunging neckline with a fancy statement choker and a matching pair of earrings.
In addition to a special cameo as Mermaid Barbie in the upcoming fantasy comedy, which hits theaters July 21, Dua also had the opportunity to score for the Barbie soundtrack.
The catchy title “Dance The Night” is the lead single from the soundtrack and was officially released a few months earlier on May 25th.
Other music artists will also feature on the album including Ava Max, Ice Spice, Lizzo, Nicki Minaj and Billie Eilish. Ryan Gosling, who plays Ken in the live-action film, will also appear on the soundtrack with a song called “I’m Just Ken.”
Nicola Coughlan added glamor with her appearance at Barbie’s European premiere.

Tonight, Will paired his gray jacket and pants with a white shirt and, rightly so, a pink tie.

He paired his striking look with a long-sleeved, low-cut shirt that revealed his toned abs and transitioned into a long cape.
The actor had a glowing complexion thanks to Charlotte Tilbury’s Airbrush Flawless Foundation, as well as the brand’s new Hydrator Mist and Cryo-Recovery Eye Serum.

Margot, who took on the lead role of Barbie, has been busy with other cast members on a recent global press tour, stopping in countries such as Australia, South Korea and Mexico.
Greta Gerwig, known for directing previous films like ‘Little Women’ (2019) and ‘Lady Bird’ (2017), not only took on the role of directing the upcoming fantasy comedy, but also co-wrote the screenplay with Noah Baumbach .
The Barbie film not only stars Margot, Ryan and Dua, but also America Ferrera, Will Ferrell, Issa Rae, Hari Nef and Simu Liu. Different versions of the Barbie and Ken dolls will be shown, with actress Helen Mirren narrating the film.
The film, which has a budget of $100 million, follows Barbie and Ken as they journey into the real world to find the true meaning of happiness.
Filming began last year in 2022 at Warner Bros. Studios in England, while some location shots were shot, notably outdoors in Los Angeles, such as Venice.
During a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Greta revealed that Margot felt “embarrassed” while filming the Venice Beach scene.
“But when we actually shot on Venice Beach, with Margot and Ryan in neon rollerblade outfits, it was fascinating because it actually happened in front of us,” she explained.
“People would walk past Ryan and give him a high five and say, ‘Great Ryan, you look great!’ And they wouldn’t actually say anything to Margot. They just looked at her. It was just surreal. At that moment she felt insecure.’
Gerwig added, “And as a director, I wanted to protect her.” But I also knew that the scene we shot 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 said, ‘I wish I wasn’t wearing that vest.’ But it was a different kind of discomfort.’
Barbie will officially hit theaters later this month on July 21, the same day as Christopher Nolan’s period drama Oppenheimer hits theaters.
