Margot Robbie Ryan Gosling London

Argot Robbie and Ryan Gosling were among the stars greeted by adoring fans at the UK premiere of Barbie at Leicester Square on Wednesday evening.

Robbie, 33, who plays Barbie, wore a custom dress by Vivienne Westwood, which referenced a vintage 1960 Enchanted Evening Barbie doll, while Gosling, 42, wore a slim pastel-coloured suit.

Hordes of fans dressed as the Mattel doll had queued around the cinema in a bid to nab a coveted wristband that will allow them access to one of the fan pens.

Other members of the cast of the Greta Gerwig film, including America Ferrera, 39, Issa Rae, 38, and Simu Liu, 34, also began arriving from 5.45pm for the film’s premiere.

The 27-year-old popstar makes a special cameo as the mermaid Barbie in the film and also sings the lead song on the soundtrack, Dance The Night.

While official reviews are likely embargoed until the week of its release, movie critics and reporters have been praising Greta Gerwig’s cinematic take on the Mattel doll.

Variety’s Katcy Stephan wrote on Twitter: “Barbie is perfection. Greta Gerwig delivers a nuanced commentary on what it means to be a woman.”

Meanwhile, ScreenRant’s Joseph Deckelmeier, said of the hotly-anticipated release: “Barbie caught me off-guard and I mean that in the best way possible. It’s funny, bombastic, and very smart.”

Speaking ahead of the premiere, director Greta Gerwig said she aimed to create something “anarchic and wild and completely bananas” while writing the script of the highly anticipated Barbie movie.
