Margot Robbie Barbie Corvette

Yesterday Warner Bros. Pictures released the first promo image of Margot Robbie in the upcoming Greta Gerwig-directed Barbie movie , with the star looking absolutely stunning as a live-action version of the iconic doll. Barbie is known for her hot pink Dream Cars, which have often been pink

Convertibles, and at first glance it looks like Barbie will be driving a 1956 or '57 Corvette in the new movie. Look closer, though, and the 'Vette sure seems like a restomod with an electric powertrain.

I confess that I have to give credit for this discovery to my friend Tyson, who is a self-described Corvette enthusiast. He first noticed the charge door in the front fender scoop, which is definitely not original -- the '56-'57 Corvettes' fuel doors are on the rear haunch. As we started bouncing more observations off each other, we gleaned more about not just what this car could be, but how the movie will be stylized in general.

Perhaps the biggest tell that this Corvette is electric is the retro Chevrolet script on the front fender below that charge door. Not only did these 'Vettes not come with a badge like that, the letters E and V in the logo are painted bright blue, just like what Chevy is doing with the Silverado EV . (I bet that means it will use Ultium batteries and electric motors , too.) There are some other differences with other components of the car too, like the streamlined chrome trim surrounding the windshield, the lack of wipers and mirrors and a slightly different look to the dashboard and hood designs.

But wait, there's more. The door's panel gaps look really off, like they're too perfectly aligned to be real, and the door weirdly overlaps on the body. It also seems like the cockpit area is stretched, as if there's a backseat added, and the car as a whole looks scaled down compared with a real Corvette. Margot Robbie is 5 foot 6 inches and yet she's towering above the windshield, whereas if she sat in a normal 'Vette her head would be below the top of the windshield.

This leads me to think that despite Robbie seemingly portraying a real human woman in this image, the movie might have some fun stylization to it. The Corvette in the photo looks like it's a toy, or at least designed to look like one, so maybe the titular role of Barbie will be of an actual doll and not a real person. Could she be a doll come to life, like the iconic Tyra Banks-led movie Life-Size? Maybe the whole movie will take place in a toy world with scaled-up visuals, like Toy Story or Welcome to Marwen. Or maybe Barbie really will be a real person, and she just drives a toylike car.

The Barbie movie will hit cinemas July 21, 2023, so expect a trickle of other images, information and eventually trailers before then. What makes this even more interesting is Chevy's confirmation of its first electrified production Corvette , which will be released in 2023 as well. Might we see more movie tie-ins?

So it makes sense we’d get a look at her ride in some racing game, and Xbox Game Studios took the plunge. Officially, the Barbie Corvette is a 1956 Chevrolet Corvette, though both GM and

Officially speaking, Barbie drove an Austin-Healey when the line’s first toy car was introduced in 1962. Mattel switched that up to a Corvette in the 1970s (what some might recall as the “Malibu Barbie convertible”) under an agreement with Chevrolet, as both preferred the all-American icon drive in all-American style.

Cars are one of several collabs between Mattel and Xbox. Microsoft is preparing a video, which will premiere in a July 14 World of Barbie livestream, showcasing some of the doll line’s real-world counterparts in gaming careers. There are also sweepstakes drawings for a special line of dolls, as well as a Barbie DreamHouse-themed Xbox Series S, plus five custom Xbox Wireless Controller faceplates, that fans can win through Microsoft Rewards.The first press event for Greta Gerwig’s highly anticipated film was held yesterday in L.A., and the star pulled up in a life-size version of one of the doll’s most cherished accessories. The film’s official Instagram account shared two pics of Robbie posing with a vintage bubblegum-pink Corvette, dressed in a fun monochromatic look that perfectly matched the convertible’s paint job.

The on-theme ensemble was composed of a balconette bra top, a high-waisted pleated miniskirt, and peep-toe stiletto heels by Manolo Blahnik. Further accessories included a small matching tote bag, heart-shaped diamond earrings by Jessica McCormack, and a pair of white oval sunglasses. Robbie also sported flawless natural-glam makeup, and her hair was styled in voluminous waves.

While yesterday was the official start of the film’s press tour, Robbie and costar Ryan Gosling previously gave a primer on Barbiecore dressing during an appearance at Las Vegas’s CinemaCon. The actress wore a playful pink-and-white gingham Prada set, consisting of a wrap miniskirt and a bralette with scalloped black trim across the bust. In pics taken outside the event, she added a long matching gingham coat and a mini pink Prada purse, finishing off the look with baby pink peep-toe heels from Christian Louboutin, a gold Chanel anklet, and drop earrings.

Meanwhile, Gosling embraced casual Ken style in a hot-pink collared bomber jacket layered over a white T-shirt that read “From Director Greta Gerwig” in the film’s title font (which will hopefully become available as merch). He also wore dark gray trousers, a dark brown leather belt, and sand-colored boots.
