The Barbie world tour has seen the cast delivering delectable outfits in candy colors. Margot Robbie, the film’s lead, has consistently impressed with her custom ensembles for the pink carpet, many of which pay homage to iconic Barbie dolls.
At the London premiere on July 12, the Australian actor wowed in an exquisite Vivienne Westwood dress in a delicate baby pink shade. This dress, inspired by the Enchanted Evening Barbie originally released in 1960 and reproduced in 1995, featured a corseted bodice and a flowing train, which Robbie accessorized with a fuzzy white stole, opera gloves, and a tiered pearl choker. However, later in the evening the star opted for a different style to her ultra-girly run of recent looks.
On the second half of her night promoting the Barbie film in London, Robbie changed into a head-turning custom minidress. Crafted by Turkish British designer Dilara Fındıkoğlu—a graduate of London’s Central Saint Martins—the ultrashort crimson satin dress is strapless, cinched at the waist, and paneled with corsetry across the front. She completed the striking look with a matching pair of red sandals.
Notably, Margot Robbie wasn’t the only one showcasing Fındıkoğlu’s designs on the pink carpet. Earlier in the evening her costar Hari Nefchose wore the finale piece, titled Joan’s Knives, from Fındıkoğlu’s autumn-winter 2023 collection. This black dress, nipped at the waist, boasted a high neck and capped sleeves, and was embellished with an assortment of ornamental kitchen knives. After a tidal wave of pink on the film’s promo tour, the stars’ decision to embrace a contrasting aesthetic—one masterminded by one of London Fashion Week’s most exciting talents—was a refreshing change.
