After a months-long press tour that’s yielded thousands of articles, and even an entire book, Margot Robbie has reached the end of her Barbie days. For the film’s send-off at the 2024 Oscars, the actor and producer decided to give the doll a proper funeral—Barbie style.
Robbie wore a strapless dress with ruching at the hip made of a shimmering black chainmail, fresh off the Versace runway. She managed to coordinate with her Barbie costar and Best Supporting Actress nominee America Ferrera, who wore a pink chainmail dress from the Italian brand.

We’ve been curious to see if Robbie would channel a specific Barbie, as she has numerous times in the last several months. Over the course of movie promo, the actor has indulged fans with a surplus of method dressing, from a Chanel skirt suit to a chainmail mini dress and ostrich feather pajamas—all pink, of course. She’s even channelled specific Barbies, including “Enchanted Evening” Barbie, “Day to Night” Barbie, “Black Magic” Barbie, “Earring Magic” Barbie, and “Solo in the Spotlight” Barbie. With the SAG-AFTRA strike cutting into the film’s press tour, Robbie was forced to sideline several looks, including the Miu Miu “Evening Splendor” Barbie from 1959, Givenchy’s 1959 “Gay Parisienne,” and the Caroline Herrera take on 2007’s “Movie Mixer.”
It seems fitting that Robbie chose not to go out in another pink dress, but rather decided to sunset her character with a chic black number. We think Barbie would more than approve of this funeral.
