For those who work within the vogue business, a fashion-adjacent business, or are merely a human being with entry to the web, I think about you, like me, reenact Steve Carell’s response on this clip each time the phrase “Barbiecore” is uttered in your presence.
And whereas Margot Robbie appeared to have put her Pink PP section behind her on the shut of final 12 months (recall her chocolate Schiaparelli costume on the LA premiere of Saltburn), she made a fuchsia look as Celebrity Barbie in Giorgio Armani Privé on the Golden Globes.
Reward Ken, then, that on the AFI Awards Luncheon on 12 January, she got here again in the direction of the sunshine (I can solely assume that Jo Koy’s monologue ruined something and every thing even vaguely Mattel-related for her ceaselessly). Robbie—whose relationship with Chanel is certainly not with out its detractors—reaffirmed her vogue plate standing with stylist Andrew Mukamal, truffling out a glance initially modeled by Claudia Schiffer at Karl Lagerfeld’s SS95 present for the French home.
Excluding some Manolo Mary-Janes and a smattering of Jessica McCormack jewellery, the erstwhile Clapham resident recreated the unique outfit to a tee, full with a Gripoix brooch and crystal brand belt.
Lagerfeld had already been on the helm of Chanel for greater than a decade when this presentation was staged in opposition to a Côte d’Azur-inspired backdrop throughout Paris Vogue Week, with each supermodel price her bone construction slipping into designs that deliberately pushed the notion of “good style” to its very limits. Miniaturized tweed fits and sliced-and-diced LBDs have been paired with bedazzled bras and thongs; Kristen McMenamy strutted down the catwalk holding a Chanel bag constructed from Astroturf; and chain belts have been adorned not simply with gold double Cs however framed images of Coco Chanel within the ’20s and ’30s. And for the grand finale? Lagerfeld paid tribute to a photograph of Mademoiselle on the shoulders of Ukrainian ballet star Serge Lifar by having pearl-strewn fashions carried aloft down the runway.
For her half, Margot Robbie might have made her method down the pink carpet on her personal two slingbacks, however the look was nonetheless essentially the most refreshing of palate cleansers after months of saccharine-sweet vogue from the starlet. Extra of this, please.
