All Barbie-inspired looks Margot Robbie has worn
With the release of the Barbie movie fast approaching on July 21, the marketing campaign has been unavoidable. From the pink billboards to the endless amount of brand collaborations - everyone and everything is channelling Barbie this summer. This includes Barbie herself, Margot Robbie who is taken fashion inspiration from the different looks the Mattel doll has worn over the years to wear at different premieres. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Of course, fans are loving the way the Australian actor is paying homage to her character. One person said: "I literally can't even with the perfect Barbie looks that Margot Robbie has been sporting on her Barbie press tour." "It’s so unbelievably perfect. She [Robbie] gave everything I wanted and more. Need this energy from the other characters," another person wrote. Someone else added: "Margot Robbie is slaying the #barbie promo tour so hard it's almost painful." "Margot Robbie turned Barbie into the fashion event of the year and I am here ittttt," a fourth person commented. Here is a rundown of all Robbie's Barbie-inspired looks during the Barbie movie press tour: Cinemacon, Las Vegas (April 25 2023) Robbie hinted at her Barbie wardrobe at Cinemacon back in April where she sported a pink gingham Prada bralette and skirt set based on a dress her character wears in the film. Since then, Mattel has created this outfit for Barbie dolls, so you could say the film was the inspiration in this case. Los Angeles photo call (June 25 2023) Barbie loves all things pink, including a pink dress with white polka dots. This fun Valentino number accessorised with a bright yellow bag took inspiration from the 2015 Pink & Fabulous Barbie. Sydney, Australia photo call (June 29 2023) Throwing it back to Barbie's first-ever outfit with the black-and-white swimsuit, Robbie took inspo and wore a black-and-white Hervé Léger dress with white sunglasses to match during a photo call on Bondi Beach. This swimsuit can also be seen on Robbie in the Barbie movie trailer too. Barbie Celebration party, Sydney (June 30 2023) Sparkling in a dazzling metallic pink 1994 Versace dress, Robbie's outfit channeled a similar outfit to the Happy Birthday Barbie - and while it might not be Robbie's birthday, she had plenty to celebrate at the Barbie party in Sydney. Seoul 'Barbie' premiere, South Korea (July 2 2023) Dress up with a white brimmed hat, hot pink blazer, pencil skirt and high heels - not forgetting the rhinestone phone - Robbie's outfit was a throwback to the 1985 Day-to-Night Barbie, with this being the day look. Robbie later changed into the night look which was a pink sparkly leotard and a part-Versace pink dress with the tutu skirt. Media news conference, Seoul (July 3 2023) It was pink and sparkles galore for Robbie at a media conference in Seoul when she turned up for the event in a bejewelled suit skirt set, with a cute hair bow and heart bag to match in tribute to the 1964 Sparkling Pink Barbie. Mexico City 'Barbie' premiere, Mexico (July 6 2023) Robbie wore a long-sleeve pink minidress at the Barbie Mexico premiere, but the accessories made the look complete with a silver belt and some huge dangly hearts and stars silver earrings for Earring Magic Barbie. Mexico photo call (July 7 2023) A bright patterned dress with fluorescent pink earring and crimped hair screams the 80s which means sense since the look is inspired by the Totally Hair 25th Anniversary Barbie. 'Barbie' world premiere in Los Angeles (July 9 2023) Ditching the pink (although not entirely with the delicately held handkerchief), Robbie stepped out in a black custom Schiaparelli haute couture dress to the LA premiere of Barbie. This look referenced Barbie’s Solo in the Spotlight dress from 1960, in which both the doll and Robbie wore black gloves, tulle fringe, and pink handkerchief. 'Barbie' European premiere, London (July 12 2023) Robbie stunned in a vintage Vivienne Westwood draped corset gown, which featured a white tulle stole, and was accessorised with matte ivory opera gloves and a layered pearl necklace. A look that was originally created for the Mattel doll back in the 1960s for Enchanted Evening Barbie.

US support for Ukraine emerges as key dividing line between GOP 2024 hopefuls in Tucker Carlson-hosted forum
Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine began in February of 2022. A year-and-a-half later, the fate of the brutal conflict is still top of mind in Washington and beyond. Joe Biden recently embarked on a high-profile visit to Europe for a Nato summit, where he opined on the future of the alliance and Ukraine’s potential place in it. This shift may even have reached the GOP, which took something of an isolationist turn under Donald Trump. However, these days, the Ukraine war seems to be a central topic once again. That renewed focus was on full display on Friday at an event hosted by Tucker Carlson, the former Fox News anchor. Despite no longer holding the top perch in cable news, he retained his kingmaking position, hosting the first Republican presidential forum on Friday in Iowa, at an event co-organised by the conservative groups Family Leader and Blaze Media. Six GOP candidates looking to obtain the coveted Republican National Committee (RNC) nomination joined Carlson on stage for a 25-minute one-on-one conversation: Tim Scott, Asa Hutchinson, Mike Pence, Nikki Haley, Vivek Ramaswamy and Ron DeSantis. Notably missing from the forum was former president Donald Trump who was unable to attend due to a scheduling conflict. Once onstage, international affairs were a key sticking point. Ron DeSantis, seen as the most potent rival to Trump, warned that US support for the Ukraine war effort could turn into a “quagmire” like the US wars in the Middle East. “My critique of the DC foreign policy elite is that they are doing a black check policy without telling us when we will have achieved our objective,” he said. “I wish the DC elites cared as much about our border,” he added. “There are people pouring into this country. We have people dying of fentanyl overdose. The cartels are running the show.” The Florida governor said he would finish Donald Trump’s border wall, declare a national emergency at the border, and deploy the US military to kill drug cartel members. The forum comes more than a month before the RNC’s first official debate on 23 August, and Mr DeSantis’s fellow candidates had similar issues on their minds. Mr Scott preached about “the wall” needing to be built along the US-Mexico border and agreed with Carlson that Mexico posed a larger threat to Americans than Russia. While remarks from candidates like Mr DeSantis were met with praise from Carlson, there were some moments of tension. The former Fox anchor lashed out at former vice-president Pence for his statements supporting further military aid to Ukraine. Carlson claimed that “public filth and disorder and crime” were skyrocketing in America, so Mr Pence shouldn’t put so much emphasis on Ukraine, a country “most people can’t find on a map.” “Every city in America has become much worse over the past three years ... Where’s the concern for the United States?” the host asked. The former vice-president brushed off the criticism, calling it a “routine” from Carlson, and said he’s running for president because “this country is in a lot of trouble.” Nonetheless, it was clear Mr Pence may have been something of an outlier at the conservative gathering. You could almost hear crickets when tried to get the audience on his side that Russia’s weakening military position in Ukraine was a good thing. “A year and half ago Russia had the second most powerful military in the world. Today they have the second most powerul military in Ukraine,” he said, to a weak smattering of applause, before doubling down: “That’s progress.” That wasn’t the only testy exchange. Former Arkansas governor Mr Hutchinson clashed slightly with Carlson when confronted about cultural issues like transgender rights and Covid-19 vaccines. Carlson pressed the former governor about his decision to veto a 2021 bill that would’ve made Arkansas the first state to ban gender-confirming treatments or surgery for trans youth. The ex-Fox News host seemed dissatisfied with Mr Hutchinson’s justification to allow parents to decide their children’s medical needs. The conversation at the event also drifted back to the January 6 Capitol riot. Carlson began his discussion with Mr Pence about January 6th with questions that downplayed the severity of it and seemingly justified the rioters in their attack. The former vice president reflected on the day with restraint, calling it “tragic” and condemning Trump’s “reckless” words that led him and his family to become endangered. But Carlson pushed back slightly on Mr Pence, suggesting that rioters were angry because the 2020 election was fraudulent – a lie peddled by Mr Trump. While serving as a host for Fox News, Mr Carlson aired cherry-picked footage of the insurrection and crafted a narrative claiming the insurrection was not deadly and, instead, was a peaceful protest that media and lawmakers lied about to the public. Mr Pence asserted his confidence that the 2020 election was done fairly. The former South Carolina governor, meanwhile, Ms Haley emphasised the importance of election integrity and advocated for a better healthcare system focusing on mental health. Entrepreneur Mr Ramaswamy shared his optimistic view of the US as the youngest candidate running for president. During his conversation, he told Carlson he believes January 6th was caused by censorship.
