The “Barbie” press tour officially began on June 24. In Instagram photos announcing the kickoff, Robbie stands next to a convertible wearing a matching baby pink Bottega Veneta pleated skirt and bralette, with palm trees lining an empty road in front of her.
It’s picturesque, it’s pink and it’s so Barbie.
Working with stylist Andrew Mukamal, Robbie’s outfits pay homage to Barbie and her evolving identity, with ensembles both inspired by and direct replicas of the original doll’s. Mukamal previously worked with celebrities including Zoë Kravitz, Kaia Gerber and Billie Eilish. “Barbie” director Greta Gerwig, Ryan Gosling — a.k.a. Ken — and the rest of the cast also have been donning pink, playful looks throughout the movie’s press tour.

April 25
Robbie arrived at CinemaCon in Las Vegas on April 25 wearing a pink and white gingham Prada miniskirt with a matching bralette. The pattern is the same as the Barbie doll in the Barbie the Movie collection, which was recently released by Mattel in anticipation of the upcoming release. It includes Barbie’s Corvette, a replica Barbie’s Dream House and a cast of ensemble character dolls.
With an endless supply of accessories and outfits for every occasion, Robbie embodies the character of Barbie in more ways than one. And as one of the most highly anticipated releases of the summer, there’s one thing viewers can expect from Greta Gerwig’s film come July 21: pink. Lots and lots of pink.
