Margot Robbie brought a new creativity and boldness to Barbiecore with her 2024 SAG Awards dress. The Schiaparelli couture LBD features a swooping, statement pink shoulder accent and train that gives the edge of the black a whimsical touch. Margot's style continues to blow our minds!

What awards is Barbie up for?

Barbie is up for a few Grammys and Oscars (which you can read about below), and on November 27, Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig attended the Gotham Awards in New York City. Margot wore another Barbie-inspired outfit with a black ensemble inspired by 1964's Black Magic Barbie, and my first question is where *I* can get a cape like this!

At the awards show, Greta won an Icon & Creator Tribute, while Ryan Gosling was nominated for Supporting Performance.

What Are The Names Of The Tracks And How Can We Stream Ken: The EP?

Per Variety, Ryan Gosling and Mark Ronson, producer of Barbie: The Album, read our minds by making sure we continue getting a healthy dose of "I'm Just Ken." Here's the track lineup for the EP:

1. "I'm Just Ken - Merry Kristmas Barbie"
2. "I'm Just Ken - In My Feelings Acoustic"
3. "I'm Just Ken - Purple Disco Machine Remix"
4. "I'm Just Ken"

Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice's "Barbie World" featuring Aqua (the OG singer) is one of the songs on Barbie the Album that we can't get enough of. Two queens coming together to support the new movie's iconic soundtrack is the *best* way we could've imagined spending the summer.

Pop icon Dua Lipa is also bringing her talents to the film's soundtrack in addition to acting in the movie. In a teaser video she posted, we got a brief cameo of Dua stepping out of her pink heels, Barbie-style, as well as a close-up shot of her blowing a kiss to the camera, already starting the buzz. We love the *totally* disco vibe from her track. Although she revealed on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon that her hit song "Dance The Night Away" almost didn't make it on the soundtrack. At least, not the version we know.

"It's all about Barbie's [best] day ever, and then she starts having an existential crisis and she starts thinking about death," Dua Lipa tells Jimmy. "It's like 'Okay, how do we create a song that encapsulates a really fun disco party but at the same time has these underlying, shaky feelings?'"

Dua Lipa and her collaborator Mark Ronson started leaning into those shaky feelings and that turmoil, but realized it didn't fit the scene the way they intended. They ended up writing "Dance The Night Away" like a score, basing some of the lyrics off the movements of the actors and creating a song that meshed well with the story the cast was already telling. "It was unlike anything I'd done before!" Dua says.

The rest of the lineup for Barbie The Album(available to buy on vinyl, CD, and even cassette tape)was announced on May 25 and includes names like Lizzo, Nicki Minaj, Ice Spice, and *even* Ryan Gosling! Here's the artists involved:

• Ava Max
• Charli XCX
• Dominic Fike
• Dua Lipa
• FIFTY FIFTY
• GAYLE
• HAIM
• Ice Spice
• Kali
• KAROL G
• Khalid
• Lizzo
• Nicki Minaj
• Pink Pantheress
• Ryan Gosling
• Tame Impala
• The Kid LAROI
• Billie Eilish

Barbie received an incredible number of Grammy nominations this year. "Dance the Night" by Dua Lipa and "What Was I Made For?" were both nominated for Song of the Year, and "What Was I Made For?" was also nominated for Record of the Year. Ryan Gosling's "I'm Just Ken" is nominated for Best Song Written for Visual Media, and "Barbie World" by Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice Featuring Aqua is nominated for Best Rap Song. "Barbie" has also been nominated for Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media (Includes Film and Televison)!

According to EW, it looks like Barbie could be nominated for nine Academy Awards this season.

Here's every category Barbie could be nominated in:

• Best Picture
• Best Director for Greta Gerwig
• Best Lead Actress for Margot Robbie
• Best Supporting Actor for Ryan Gosling
• Best Original Screenplay
• Best Original Song for Billie Eilish and Finneas' "What Was I Made For?"

Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas O'Connell wrote "What Was I Made For?" for the Barbie soundtrack. Director Greta Gerwig told the duo, viaThe LA Times, that she wanted "Barbie’s heart song — the song that is deep inside her core that she doesn’t even completely know is there but that she starts to hear more clearly throughout the film.”

The song became my personal favorite on Barbie the Album, and spawned a viral TikTok trend celebrating the beautiful, messy parts of womanhood. “It was so moving, dude. It was so, so touching,” Billie tells Variety about the trend. “I feel like I helped bring people together, and it felt so special. I wasn’t expecting to have women around the world feel connected.”

We're obsessed with the seafoam + pale pink pairing here. Everything about this look screams sophistication, and we hope Margot's neckline never goes out of style (it's our current fave).

When is Barbie coming to IMAX?

The Barbie movie came back to theaters for one week starting September 22. But there's more! Not only did we get to see the entirety of the film (including that one detail in the Barbie ending we totally missed the first time) but there was also brand new post-credit footage that Greta Gerwig handpicked herself!

“We made Barbie for the big screen, so it’s a thrill to be able to bring it to IMAX, the biggest screen of all,” Gerwig says in a statement. “As a special thanks to Barbie fans, we’re excited to share a little bit more of our cast and crew’s incredible work by adding special new footage we hope audiences will enjoy.”

First Look Images From The Film

Barbie costume designer Jacqueline Durran talked to British Vogue about her work on the film, as well as the fact they only had 11 weeks (!!) to make all of the costumes.

“Barbie is a very useful way to look at different ideas of femininity: what that means, who owns it, and who it’s aimed at,” Durran says in the interview. Some of Margot Robbie's looks are sassy (like her cowgirl outfit) and some are sweet (like her gingham dress), but all of them play a larger role in the film.

"One aspect of the film is self-discovery," Durran continues. "We were able to choose elements of Barbie fashion that were appropriate for those scenes that also gave a subtle nod to her internal journey.”

After realizing that her dream life isn't quite as dreamy as she thought, Barbie sets off — roller blades and Ken in tow — to learn "the truth about the universe."

The first thing we're thinking after watching this trailer is how much the actors really do look like Barbie dolls! The costuming might just become one of our favorite things about the film (not to mention the iconic opening sequence à la 2001: A Space Odyssey).

What Is The Barbie Movie About?

A lot of previous Barbie movies place the iconic doll in fairy tales or navigating high school, but the Greta Gerwig film (which premiered July 21, 2023) takes a whole new approach. The plot focuses on Margot Robbie's Barbie, who gets expelled from Barbieland and goes off to explore the real world.

What's The Big Deal About This Barbie Movie?

In a 2021 interview with British Vogue, Robbie says that while playing Barbie comes with both baggage and nostalgia, "people generally hear ‘Barbie’ and think, ‘I know what that movie is going to be,’ and then they hear that Greta Gerwig is writing and directing it, and they’re like, ‘Oh, well, maybe I don’t...’”

Finding a way to balance adulthood with finding comfort in the things from our childhood (a champagne brunch at the American Girl store anyone?), there's something to be said for getting in touch with your inner child.

In a July interview with Ebony, Issa Rae (who plays President Barbie in the film) talks about the impact that the dolls had on her childhood.

“It was another step on the ladder of my journey with my racial identity, just because I saw how passionate my parents were about me playing with Black Barbies, though I didn’t know it was that serious,” she says. “I was just there trying to make scenes with my Barbies. And I think in some ways, that was my first foray into storytelling and directing.”
