No pink in sight.
Every time Margot Robbie stepped onto the red carpet this year, fans scoured the look for subtle (and not-so-subtle) nods to her blockbuster movie Barbie. Tonight at the 2024 Oscars, Robbie took her metaphorical final bow as the storied doll (unless, of course, there is a sequel). And this Barbie went out with a bang — in a gown that is actually … the antithesis of Barbie? Nary an speckle of pink in sight.
Robbie finished off awards season in an anti-Barbie strapless black sequin Versace gown with an arched neckline and a ruched wrinkled midsection. The star and producer of the film added Fred Leighton jewelry to her look including a chunky diamond braided cuff and a matching ring.
Her blonde hair was worn straight but a little bit tousled with a middle part, and she kept her makeup subtle with fringed lashes and a beige lip.
Barbie is up for eight awards tonight, including the coveted Best Picture honor. However, Robbie and director Greta Gerwig were left off the ballot in their respective individual categories. Robbie still technically received a nomination as a producer on the film. Robbie’s co-stars, Ryan Gosling and America Ferrera, are nominated tonight for Best Supporting Actor and Actress. Robbie addressed the snub during a SAG-AFTRA discussion last month.
“There’s no way to feel sad when you know you’re this blessed,” Robbie said, although she went on to add that Gerwig's work should have been recognized. “What she did is a once-in-a-career, once-in-a-lifetime thing. What she pulled off, it really is.”
Gosling also spoke out about the two women responsible for the major box office hit being left out, saying he was "disappointed."
“There is no Ken without Barbie, and there is no Barbie movie without Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie, the two people most responsible for this history-making, globally celebrated film,” he said in a statement at the time. “No recognition would be possible for anyone on the film without their talent, grit, and genius. To say that I’m disappointed that they are not nominated in their respective categories would be an understatement.”
