Margot Robbie goes full Barbie in Golden Globes fashion

Margot Robbie has channelled her alter-ego Barbie at the Golden Globes in a hot pink gown,  as Taylor Swift stunned in shimmery, liquid acid green and Julianne Moore was one of several ladies in red.

Robbie, the star and a producer of the blockbuster and heavily nominated Barbie film, wore a hot pink sequined Armani gown with a pink tulle boa. Her look was modelled on Superstar Barbie from 1977.

Fashion risk-taker Timothée Chalamet, the latest “Wonka,” donned a bedazzled black jacket with black skinny trousers and a low-buttoned black shirt.

Sandra Hüller, the Anatomy of a Fall star, chose a colour somewhere between emerald and sea green in Beverly Hills, California. Her bodice was fitted with skinny straps paired with a skirt of gentle pleats that fell to a train.

Show host Jo Koy, Christian Friedel, Matty Matheson, Daniel Pemberton and Justin Hartley all went wide on the lapels of their tuxedos - while Colman Domingo - who portrays activist Bayard Rustin in Rustin -went in a different direction in a Nehru tuxedo, from Louis Vuitton.

“Nehru was actually, you know, the first prime minister of India, and he was a colleague of Bayard Rustin, who I am representing tonight as a leading actor in a film. So it all tells the story,” Domingo told The Associated Press. 

Dua Lipa showed up in custom Schiaparelli with a vintage Tiffany & Co. necklace from 1962. Helen Mirren went for two hues of purple, including a coat, from Dolce & Gabbana. Julia Schlaepfer, meanwhile, walked in a white Old Hollywood gown from Danielle Frankel with a flawless drape at the high neck and no back.

Jennifer Lopez also went Old Hollywood in light pink with huge floral embellishments.

A handful of stars made a statement in red: Da’Vine Joy Randolph with a broad peplum at the waist and ruffles at her low-cut neckline from Rodarte, and Alma Pöysti in a shiny off-shoulder number and a full ballgown skirt. Heidi Klum also represented the red crew in a strapless look with a huge, high-slit skirt. Selena Gomez, also in red, wore a fun gown with an asymmetrical hemline that began above the knee.

Julianne Moore, Rachel Brosnahan, Florence Pugh and Ayo Edebiri also wore red.

Others sparkled in silver, including Julia Garner in a risque look with chunky embellishment and cut-out sides by Dior Haute Couture.

Oprah, in celebration of the film adaptation of “The Color Purple” musical, continued her purple streak in a fitted long-sleeve gown. 

There were some curious looks, including Meryl Streep in a liquid black skirt and jacket with a white pussy bow blouse and Natasha Lyon in a white gown with a spiky bodice that poked well above her neck.

Billie Eilish, her hair bright red and black, went school marm in a white blouse, brown skirt and an oversized black jacket, eyeglasses in place. Her look was by Willy Chavarria.
