“Margot Robbie Channels 1977 Superstar Barbie at Golden Globes 2024, Talks Armani Collaboration and Box Office Success of ‘Barbie’ Film
Nominee Margot Robbie turned heads on the 2024 Golden Globes red carpet with a stunning recreation of the iconic 1977 Superstar Barbie dress in collaboration with Armani. As her film ‘Barbie’ racks up nine award nominations, including Best Picture – Comedy or Musical, Robbie shares her excitement about the communal experience the movie created, grossing $1.4 billion worldwide.
Amidst the buzz, Robbie comments on Lady Gaga’s upcoming portrayal of Harley Quinn in ‘Joker: Folie à Deux,’ expressing confidence in Gaga’s performance but revealing she hasn’t reached out to her about the iconic character.
“She’s going to crush it! She’s going to be amazing,” Robbie says about Gaga. “I actually haven’t spoken to her about it. I almost don’t want to know so I can save it for a surprise when I see the movie.”
Reflecting on Harley Quinn, Robbie emphasizes her desire for the character to be passed on to other actresses, welcoming diverse interpretations. While ruling out an immediate ‘Barbie’ sequel, Robbie envisions exploring other bold and original ideas in filmmaking with the support of a major studio.
“It’s funny, that knee-jerk reaction in this day and age for everyone to immediately ask about a sequel,” she shares. “I want to do another big, original, bold idea where we get an amazing filmmaker, a big budget to play with, and the trust of a huge conglomerate behind them to go and really play.””
