Margot Robbie stuns in red mini dress as she parties with Dua Lipa and Louise Redknapp at Barbie party
BARBIE star Margot Robbie ditched the pink for the film’s after party last night.
The Australian actress wowed in a red mini dress as she partied with Dua Lipa and Louise Redknapp in London.
Celebs descended on the capital for the European movie premiere at Cineworld Leicester Square and later made their way to exclusive nightclub The Chiltern Firehouse.
Margot, 33, changed into her third outfit of the evening as she partied with co-stars in a satin dress that featured a fitted corset.
She was spotted holding it in place to avoid flashing fans outside as they swarmed around her, hoping for photos and autographs.
Aussie Margot had earlier opted to wear a glam black dress for a photocall, but she walked the pink carpet in a full length pink gown alongside Ken actor Ryan Gosling.
Pop star Dua Lipa, 27, was also in attendance at the after party and looked stunning in a shimmering dress after playing Mermaid Barbie in Greta Gerwig‘s new movie.
In keeping with the bubblegum pink theme, the singer’s frock featured a shimmering pink, pastel blue and green pattern.
Sexy Dua had earlier worked the pink carpet outside the Shrine Auditorium showing off her flawless figure in a see-through dress.
Based on the Mattel doll, the Barbie movie follows Margot and Ryan Gosling’s Barbie and Ken as they leave Barbie Land and travel to the real world.
Director Greta has called it “a mother-daughter story at its heart” because the infamous toy was originally created by a mother (Ruth Handler) for her daughter (Barbara).
She said she wanted to embrace the debate around Barbie over the decades.
She said: “Because Barbie was invented in 1959 and goes until now, there was a way that I wanted to sort of walk through the evolution of what the brand has been and deal with different moments of triumph and argument all along the way.
“I think, for me, it was like, ‘How is this doll, this icon, existing in both and, not either or?'”
She continued: “Because often with superheroes, either you’re a hero or you’re a villain, or you’re bad or you’re good, and I’m like, ‘Well, what if she’s complicated like everybody else?’
“I think that it was embodying that, generationally. And then, I guess the sort of generational part of it, too, was just inherent in the story, because it was only ever going to be a mother-daughter story at its heart, because Ruth Handler invented it for her daughter. So, that felt like it was baked in.”
