The longtime Chanel ambassador was on Saturday at the fashion house’s pre-Oscars dinner at Polo Lounge where she shared her favorite Chanel looks.
Warner released Greta Gerwig’s Barbie on July 21, 2023, and it became an instant pop culture phenom before ending as the No. 1 movie of the year thanks to a $1.445 billion finish.
The pink-a-palooza continued with awards season run — capped by 8 Oscar nominations including one for best picture — that’s come with high fashion promo tour thanks to producer and star Margot Robbie.
“I love the four-piece suit I wore to the Oscar luncheon,” offered Robbie, a presence at award shows, screenings, press events and fashion parties, often wearing custom looks in varying shades of pink. “Because that was just such a specifically Chanel thing to do with a four-piece suit, and that was a really fun recreation.”
Another top look is what she wore in the film and on the cover of the new Barbie press tour book from Rizzoli, Barbie: The World Tour by Robbie with Andrew Mukamal. “That was initially worn by Claudia Schiffer, and I love that because when I put on the little bra top, it still had her name written on the inside. It is the exact thing she wore. Putting that on, I was just like, wow, because she’s such an incredible Barbie reference in herself. It’s an iconic Chanel outfit worn by an iconic woman.”
While she’s expected to wear pink on Sunday, fashion insiders have been speculating lately just how long Robbie will continue to wear the shade once the Barbie run ends.
Robbie did reveal pink will always have a place in her wardrobe. “I will love it forever,” Robbie said. “I only have happy memories associated with it. I love the color. It looks great on everyone.”
Robbie attended Saturday night’s event, mingling with fellow nominees, Barbie pal America Ferrera, Colman Domingo, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Cord Jefferson, Celine Song, Jeffrey Wright, Jonathan Glazer and guests like Usher, Kerry Washington, Lily-Rose Depp, Willem Dafoe, Chloe Sevigny, Tessa Thompson, Alexandra Shipp, Dominic Sessa and more.

“I am going to switch my phone off for about a week,” she said. “I’m sure that’s about as long as I could possibly get away with it. And just chill.”
She can’t rest for long: Robbie is set to star with Colin Farrell in A Big Bold Beautiful Journey from director Kogonada.
And she will continue to oversee her LuckyChap production company with husband Tom Ackerley and partner Josey McNamara.
