The last year has had us glued to all things Barbie. Hot pink manicures, magenta lips, unnaturally glossy blow drys? You name it, we’ve had peroxide at the ready. With Greta Gerwig’s billion dollar blockbuster headed into award season, Margot Robbie is officially the It-girl of our beauty moodboards and her latest Barbie doll recreations have given us ample inspiration to work from. 1960s updos? Check. Two-toned french tips? Check. This Barbie has it all.
However, this isn’t the first time the 33-year-old actress has reigned as a beauty icon. From grown-out brunette lobs to quintessential red carpet beauty, here you’ll find Margot Robbie’s best make-up and hair looks from the last 10 years; think covetable blonde shades with beachy Australian highlights, classic red carpet updos suitable for any wedding and a thorough lesson in unwavering natural make-up.

These lightly kinky waves are already a signature for Margot in 2024 and this cleanly chopped ‘do makes no exception. Partnered with a simple pretty-in-pink base, Barbie beauty remains a staple for the actor, even in the new year.

Saltburn Los Angeles Premiere
Boasting an impressively seamless tan and the sunniest of beachy blondes, it’s hard to believe this summer-ready look was debuted on a November red carpet. A shining example of that covetable ‘healthy’ glow. Thanks, Margot.

1992 Totally Hair Barbie
Margot’s take on the 1992 Totally Hair Barbie for the Mexico City was extensions on extensions. Tie that together with a fun 1990s crimp and a pop of pink eyeshadow and you have what we’d arguably call the most fun beauty ensemble of the Barbie press tour.

1992 Earring Magic Barbie
Not too dissimilar from her curvaceous 1990s lengths, this half-up half-down look is our new go-to styling for dramatic dangly earrings.

Margot took this event back to classic beauty basics, combining pared back powdery skin with a warm rosy lip and ever flattering layers around her face.

Chanel Ready To Wear Resort Show 2024
While we’re used to Margot sporting her glossy grown-out lengths in an au natural wave, these loose textured curls are more boho than we typically see her. The LA cool-girl aesthetic is perfect for this Australian bombshell.

The Met Gala 2023: ‘Karl Lagerfeld: A Line Of Beauty’

CinemaCon 2023

95th Annual Academy Awards 2023
Before there was Barbie, there was bronde. This delicious latte-toned colour was a huge shift from the bright golden we see modern Margot sporting, but this complementary darker hue will always have a place in our hearts.

Babylon Australian Premiere

The Hollywood Reporter’s Women In Entertainment Gala
There’s nothing we love more than natural beauty done well, and this simple yet elegant look is a lesson in just that. With dropped out curls and a cohesive nude make-up look, this is daytime beauty done so well.

Back in December, Margot stepped out of her beauty comfort zone delivering a Winter-appropriate brick red lip and a barely-there smokiness around her eyes.

BAFTA Life In Pictures Event 2022
We don’t typically see Margot styled with hair accessories (outside of her new Barbie wardrobe, of course), but this round-up just wouldn’t be complete without a bang-on-trend bow from the Astroid City star.

Oscars 2021
This bronde ponytail, full fringe combination is the highlight of Robbie’s 2021 beauty calendar. With undone curls and wispy pieces, we call this foreshadowing of what her future hair staples would become.

2020
Robbie’s 2020 bright blonde was a stark contrast to the Barbie we see today. This creamy golden colour is much more artificial than her current dimensional shade but that doesn’t mean we don’t love it all the same. All Barbies are created equal here.

This chin-length boy bob has stood the test of time, giving Hailey Bieber’s covetable new cut a run for its money. With brightening blonde highlights and a natural shadow root this complimentary colour could be straight from 2023.

2017
This dark sultry lip was a much bigger risk than the pearly pinks and natural nudes we see her wearing today, but with a bright blonde bob and stripped back eyes, we think we pulls it off. I mean, she’s Margot Robbie.
