Oscars 2024: The ‘Barbie’ Cast Mostly Ditched Barbiecore Pink for Head-to-Toe Black on the Red Carpet

With Barbie being among the top nominated films at the Oscars, everyone was betting that the red carpet fashion would be awash with Barbiecore pink.

Alas, most of the blockbuster film’s nominees swapped the rose hue for black. Barbie star and co-producer Margot Robbie arrived on the red carpet in Versace channeling a minimalist version of Barbie’s 1960 Solo in the Spotlight ensemble. Stylist Andrew Mukamal finished her look with gold and diamond jewelry by Fred Leighton.

“I think people have a pink hangover, but I wish there was more pink,” Simu Liu told ABC7 Los Angeles’ George Pennacchio on the red carpet.

Liu (in Fendi), best supporting actor nominee Ryan Gosling (in custom Gucci) and Kate McKinnon are also wearing head-to-toe black. Best supporting actress nominee America Ferrera (styled by Karla Welch) stepped out in a shimmering pink Versace chainmail dress. Director Greta Gerwig (nominated for best adapted screenplay with partner Noah Baumbach) wore a champagne-hued Gucci gown embroidered in crystals and Boucheron jewelry, while Issa Rae sported a dark green plunging velvet gown by Ami Paris.

Robbie and Mukamal will release Barbie: The World Tour (Rizzoli), a coffee table book showcasing the star’s pink carpet ensembles, as well as looks not yet seen when the press tour was cut short by the writers and actors strikes. Out on April 19, the 160-page tome ($55) will showcase images of Robbie channeling Barbie shot by prominent fashion photographer Craig McDean. Barbie: The World Tour will also include rare images from Mattel’s archives, designer sketches, Polaroid photos and more from Barbie’s whimsical world, all presented in collages by art director Fabien Baron. Robbie and Mukamal also contribute their own words to the book.
