Career & style
Margot Robbie began in Australian television, including Neighbours, before working in American productions. The Wolf of Wall Street brought wider attention in 2013. Roles in I, Tonya, the Harley Quinn films and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood show how sharply her screen images can differ. Her producing work is also essential: she both starred in and produced Barbie, released in 2023.
Barbie makes her especially relevant to a fashion archive because the central character already carries a long history of manufactured clothes and visual identities. The film is a useful place to distinguish an actor, a fictional character and a commercial fashion image. When comparing her premiere and festival photographs, follow changes in color, silhouette and styling without assuming that every public appearance repeats a movie role.
