Margot Robbie looked like she had all the fun celebrating the London premiere of the new Barbie film last night.

The leading actress stunned on the pink carpet in a gown inspired by a vintage Enchanted Barbie doll from the 1960s.

Her custom-made pale pink corset style dress by Vivienne Westwood came with matching pink gloves and a faux fur stole jacket she wrapped around her shoulders.

Looking every inch the perfect Barbie, Margot stole the show as she posed with Ryan Gosling, who plays Ken in the new movie.

But, after an outfit change into a corseted red satin mini dress and chic red kitten heels, Margot hit the town to celebrate her hard work on the film, set for release on July 21.

She accessorised the strapless dress with a matching red satin bag but let the number do all the talking as she opted not to wear any other accessories or jewellery.

Actress Margot tied her long blonde locks up in a loose up-do and allowed the front sections of her hair to fall over her face.
She opted for a sultry, minimal makeup look to allow her beauty to shine through and swapped the pink lipstick she had sported earlier in the evening for a subtle red lippy instead.

After the premiere, Margot headed to a Slug & Lettuce bar for a photocall before partying with fellow film stars and friends at London's Chiltern Firehouse.

Those in attendance included singer Dua Lipa, Louise Redknapp, model Adwoa Aboah and Margot's Barbie co-star Ryan Gosling.

Photographers snapped the 33-year-old leaving the after party looking slightly bleary eyed following a long evening as she left the luxury hotel, where the party was held, at 3.30am.

Margot was joined by some pals dressed in Barbie pink as she headed home, as the trio were seen giggling together following the star-studded afterparty.

Last night was the European premiere of the Barbie film. Such is the hype around the movie that hundreds of fans camped out overnight in London’s Leicester Square to catch a glimpse of the real-life Barbie, played by Margot, and Ken, played by Ryan.

Other huge stars making an appearance in the film, which is directed by Greta Gerwig, include Dua Lipa, Will Ferrell, America Ferrera and former Sex Education star Emma Mackey.

In the movie trailer, Barbie and Ken are seen living in Barbie Land, a world that seems to be perfect, but once they get to visit the real world they discover the joys and dangers of living among humans.

The film description reads: "After being expelled from the utopian Barbie Land for being less-than-perfect dolls, Barbie and Ken go on a journey of self-discovery to the real world."

Promising to offer fans a story they’ve never seen before, the trailer says: "If you hate Barbie, this movie is for you."

British star Emma Mackey plays physicist Barbie in the film – and lead star Margot revealed the pair look so alike she often gets mistaken for the Sex Education star.

In a recent interview Margot said she wanted Emma to star in the film so they could make a lookalike joke. However, this didn't go to plan when all of the actors had their full hair and makeup on.

Speaking to Buzzfeed, Margot was asked: "Margot, what was it like to finally work with your doppelganger, Emma Mackey?"

She explained: "[Mackey] plays one of the Barbies in the movie pretty much because Greta and I thought it would be funny. We were gonna do this whole joke about us looking similar.

"But once we got all dressed up as our Barbies, we were kind of like, 'We don’t actually look that similar'. Like, when she’s got her brown hair and I’ve got my blonde hair, we don’t look that similar, so we didn’t put that joke in the movie."

Earlier in the interview, Margot shared her typical response to when fans compare her to Emma, saying: "When people come up and say, 'I loved you in Sex Education,' I just say, 'Thank you so much.'"

Despite the skit not panning out, the lookalike duo will still both be featured as iconic Barbie dolls in the Warner Bros. film.
