Margot Robbieand her stylistAndrew Mukamalhad one thing in mind when creating the actress’Barbiepress tour looks – Barbie fans.
While eagle-eyed fashion-lovers were keen on picking up the high-end designer cues from the duo, it was devotees of the iconic doll that the fashionable pair wanted to honor, alongside Barbie’s decades-spanning style history, Robbie, 33, tells PEOPLE exclusively.
“We’re finding Barbie references from decades past and just doing it really for the big Barbie fans out there, people who are actually collecting those Barbies. We’re hoping to get them excited,” she said at theBarbieworld premiere in Los Angeles. “We’re pairing Barbie references with great designers.”
As the movie’s titular character, Robbie has her own simple take on the doll’s over-the-top glamour. “Well, it’s not subtle, but it’s very fun!”

It’s also very pink! While conceptualizing his modern-day take onthe iconic Mattel-designed outfits, Mukamal stayed true to the ultra-chic pink hues of Barbie land.
Some of Robbie’s memorable red-carpet moments include her ‘80s-inspired Day to Night schtickin Seoul, South Korea – where she wore a daytime hot pink Versace skirt suit, complete with a brimmed hat and a rhinestone phone purse, and a Versace tulle evening confection – and her 1964 Sparkling Pink Barbie-drawn Moschino skirt set.
The Oscar-nominated star sported some not-so-pink apparel too, such as the black-and-white striped Herve Leger bandage dress she wore in Sydney to pay homage tothe Original 1950s Barbieswimsuit.
She accessorized the look with era-appropriate cat-eye sunglasses and a curled side-parted ponytail.
