… Margot? I do! I’ve watched the Barbie movie three times now and I’ve developed a girl crush on her for some reason. I’ve watched a few clips of her Barbie promo with Ryan and she just exudes cool, fun but also serious and mature energy. Never seen any of her movies before.

Pathetic but I’m considering her Barbie promo style a bit of a style inspiration. I’m trying to dress more girly and feminine now. I’m also losing weight too. She’s just soo cool and pretty.

I really envy her and Tom’s relationship/marriage even though I know nothing real about them. I wonder what is going on with me because I can recognise this is well weird and it’s only the last two weeks I’ve felt this way.

There are lots of ways to be beautiful OP, you don’t need to emulate her, or anyone else. Be you 😊

Well i wouldn't say no

Lentilweaver · 09/08/2023 21:32

Gosh. Absolutely not.

Maybe I’ve just got some weird Barbie-mania since the movie came out

Margot Robbie is beautiful. I would certainly not be upset if I woke up looking like her! I'd be very surprised, mind you.

Love the way the film's been made but have absolutely no desire to plaster myself in pink or, indeed, to dress more girly and feminine.

You do you, though 😄

RedLem0nade · 09/08/2023 21:37

Nothing wrong with a bit of a crush. I’ve had one for Marion Cotillard for some years now. She’s so chic. Her short curled hairstyle at one stage is the one I’ve stolen for my own hair.

Also Chris Hemsworth. Though I can’t really pull off the leather and thunderbolt look. (Too short).

Vintagecreamandcottagepie · 09/08/2023 21:38

Of course you're supposed to feel like that! That's why they chose her!

She's stunningly beautiful obviously, but you do know she's had alot of work done?

DrSbaitso · 09/08/2023 21:39

Of course I'd like to be as beautiful as Margot Robbie. Wouldn't mind being as talented, too.

Thinkinpinkin · 09/08/2023 21:41

Nope, I mean she's pretty but that's it. I look like me for a reason.

SophiaElise · 09/08/2023 21:41

Won't want to look like her, no.

Lentilweaver · 09/08/2023 21:42

I look like me too. I like her in the movie but that's it.

Margot Robbie stole her now husband from her flat mate at the time…and that’s a true story

pimplebum · 09/08/2023 21:45

It's a bit sad that all of that guff is your take away from that film

Losing weight?

GreenEyedGiant · 09/08/2023 21:45

She's stunning, I always thought she was very striking from her Neighbours days.

I think I'd like to wake up looking like Maya Jama though!

You can't steal a person ....

@pimplebum I think the film was meant to be fun and girly and celebrating femininity. At least that was my take away. People I’ve spoken to said the same. Half the cinema was dressed up in pink for the film

I'm not sure that's true. She was living with him as a friend before they got together, he was one of her flat mates.

I think she is more than a pretty face. Have seen her interviewed and she is "quick" and says the right thing.
Saw a clip of quentin tarantino being accused of not giving Sharon tate enough lines. QT really abruptly said "I refute that" and she jumped in and gave an answer that promoted the film, and respected the lady who posed the question and was sensitive to Sharon tate's family.

@xPeaceXx yes, from the few interview clips I’ve seen of hers, you can tell she’s smart too and quick as you said

Show quote history

Yes and don't the 4 of them co-own their production company (which produced Barbie)? I doubt most people would set up a business together with their ex and the woman he cheated on you with.

melmos · 09/08/2023 22:04

100% yes

greenmarsupial · 09/08/2023 22:07

Just seen the film and yes! Was working out if darker eyebrows and blonde hair would suit me 😂 (I know that's not the message of the film)

Parseley · 09/08/2023 22:09

I know what you mean op. I always think she comes across well in interviews, a bit different in a good way. She’s got lovely bone structure.

Newgirls · 09/08/2023 22:11

I don’t think I’d want the attention - must be exhausting. Barbie makes this point in the film when she arrives in the real world.
The make attention all the time yuk
