Margot Robbie embraces vintage elegance, choosing a Versace chainmail dress previously sported by Claudia Schiffer in 1995, for the grand Barbie premiere in Sydney.

Margot Robbie made a stylish appearance at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney for the red carpet event of her latest movie, Barbie. In line with Barbie’s fondness for vibrant colors, the Australian actress chose a pink ensemble for the occasion upon her return to her home country. However, like the retro pink minidress she had showcased earlier in the day, Margot’s outfit once again paid homage to the past as she joined her co-stars on the red carpet. She donned a Versace chainmail corset dress, originally worn by supermodel Claudia Schiffer in 1995 – a time when Margot was merely four years old. The dress, featuring a figure-hugging design and a neckline that accentuated her cleavage, effortlessly showcased Margot’s slender frame as she posed for the photographers.

With a bright smile, Margot greeted the spectators as she made her way to the event on Friday. The actress, who plays a major role in an upcoming film, completed her outfit with Barbie-inspired perspex heels by Manolo Blahnik while warmly acknowledging the photographers. She chose to keep her accessories minimal, but opted for a metallic manicure that perfectly complemented her dress. Margot sported a peachy make-up look with a flawless finish, accentuated by a matte dark pink lipstick, all while leaving her blonde locks down framing her face. Accompanied by her husband Tom Ackerley, Margot arrived in Sydney on Wednesday to promote her starring role in Barbie. During her appearance on the Australian chat show The Project, the actress shared the secret behind the famous arched foot featured in the new film. In the trailer, Margot is seen stepping out of her high heels, revealing that Barbie’s feet remain arched, just like the iconic doll. The actress disclosed that achieving the shot required minimal special effects, with her own feet in the frame. She simply stepped out of her heels and held onto a bar to maintain stability. To ensure her shoes stayed in place, double-sided tape was applied to the floor, and Margot had a pedicure ahead of filming the scene.
