Margot Robbieis bringing it back in time in her first look as Barbie!
In the teaser trailer forGreta Gerwig’sBarbie, Robbie rocks a familiar get-up for fans of her character — the classic swimsuit first seen on the 1959 doll.
Standing in the iconic one-piece bathing suit, Robbie, 32, sports white sunglasses, blonde curls, and a pair of gold hoops. But it’s the throwback striped suit that really makes her look like the doll!
The 1959 look itself is a classic in the doll world, having been introduced in the late ’50s before Barbie started rocking the Red Helenca Swimsuit in 1962, perFashion Doll Guide.
The suit has seen a few revivals in the Barbie line of products — having been reintroduced to kids in 1993 via a 35th anniversary edition doll and later in a 50th anniversary edition doll. Other iterations of the classic look appeared on Barbie, like a 2009 Target exclusive that instead hadBarbie wearing a two-piecewith some added color to the Zebra design.
Regardless of which look Barbie fans grew up with, Robbie’s fit in the trailer might bring back some memories, just as the largely-pink world she operates in calls back to the toys of the past.

“People generally hear Barbie and think, ‘I know what that movie is going to be,'” RobbieBritishVoguesoon after news of the production broke. “Then they hear that Greta Gerwig is writing and directing it, and they’re like, ‘Oh, well, maybe I don’t….’ "
Outside of even just accessories, Robbie told the publication that Barbie “comes with a lot of baggage,” but that playing her evokes “a lot of nostalgic connections.”

“The dancing, the laughing, all of that. That was every single day for us on set. So now to finally see that in a work form is actually surreal because we just felt like we were having fun the whole time,” Liu said. “But I’m really excited for people to watch more. I think there will be one more trailer that comes out before the movie, but I think it’s great to keep the audience guessing, and I can’t wait for them to see.”
