Ryan Gosling joined Robbie on the pink carpet for the event; however, he was sadly not dressed as Earring Magic Ken, (or Gay Ken, as the doll was labeled by the public back when it was released in 1993). True to his name, that Ken did wear an earring, as well as a purple mesh T-shirt styled under a matching lavender pleather vest. His look caused an uproar from some scandalized parents who just couldn’t handle his drip, but his release also opened up a national discourse about gender and was popular among the LGBTQ community. We love him for that.
This Barbie Is the Center of Attention
For the LA premiere on July 9, Robbie pulled off her glitziest Barbie look yet: a strapless Schiaparelli couture dress with a voluminous tulle hem. As always, Robbie and Mukamal took their styling cues from Barbie—this time, Solo in the Spotlight Barbie (1960). From the pale pink handkerchief and peep-toe pumps to the black opera gloves and layered diamond necklace, the pair have once again out done themselves. The only thing missing is a mic stand.
Robbie’’s look is a custom creation from Schiaparelli’s Daniel Roseberry and includes a hand-painted rose, which the designer affixed to the dress’s hem. Schiaparelli shared the full process, from sketch to final product, on Instagram.

Solo in the Spotlight Barbie was one of the brand’s first “career” dolls. Though today you can find Astrophysicist Barbie or Game Developer Barbie, back in the early days of Barbie’s existence, her career paths were limited to more glamorous options: singer, ballerina, teenage fashion model, and “career girl,” to name a few.
