See Margot Robbie Transform Into a '60s-Era Barbie in a Glittering Strapless Gown

Margot Robbie brought Barbie back to her vintage glamour roots for the film's Los Angeles premiere.

The actress arrived at the Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall tonight in a glittering custom Schiaparelli couture gown, which channeled the 1960 "Solo in the Spotlight" Barbie. The strapless bustier gown was covered in sparkling sequins, with the curve-hugging bodice ending in a flouncy, mermaid-style skirt made of layers of inky black tulle. An embroidered corsage adorned the tulle skirt, perfectly matching the original doll's details.

The star's faithful recreation continued into her accessories, as she added velvet opera gloves, black peep-toe heels, and layers of diamond choker necklaces by Lorraine Schwartz Jewelry, while carrying a pale-pink silk mousseline scarf. She styled her hair in a perfectly coiffed high ponytail, and her glam look was topped off with glowy, rosy blush and a bright red lip.

Working with of celeb stylist Andrew Mukamal, the Babylon actress has channeled the iconic character throughout the decades, from the original 1959 doll's striped bodysuit to a studded '60s-era skirt suit and '80s-style day-and-night looks. At the film's press events in Mexico City earlier this week, Robbie embodied two of the doll's most popular editions circa 1992, the "Totally Hair" Barbie and the "Earring Magic" Barbie. For the latter, the star wore her edgiest look of the tour so far, a custom Balmain outfit consisting of a sculpting hot-pink leather minidress and a pink long-sleeve mesh top.
