Margot Robbie Takes You Inside The Barbie Dreamhouse | Architectural Digest

Today on AD, Margot Robbie takes us behind the scenes of ‘Barbie’ for an exclusive tour of the Barbie Dreamhouse. When tasked with bringing these iconic childhood toys to life on the big screen, Greta Gerwig enlisted the skills of production designer Sarah Greenwood and set decorator Katie Spencer. Taking inspiration from Palm Springs midcentury modernism they’ve created a whimsical fuchsia pink fantasy where slides replace stairs and there’s not a wall in sight-when touring this impressive set it’s hard not to feel a rush of playful nostalgia as Greta states “I wanted to capture what was so ridiculously fun about the Dreamhouses."

I can’t believe they actually built it! They easily could’ve gone with CGI. But they made an actual set. That’s dedication.

I remember in the 90s books skipper was a young adult who had to babysit toddler Stacie I believe that’s when she was released. I could be wrong but it depends on the movie timeline. Whether it was before their release or after but didn’t have a storyline for them.

Barbieland needs to be turned into a museum or a theme park. So much love and effort has been put into this by the crew, and this set is a testament to the artistry of set design that is so overlooked in today's CGI filled world. As Greta Gerwig said, this set is designed specifically to appease how children see Barbie. I think it's a complete waste if actual children (and/or people who used to be children) never get to see it. I'd pay for an entire cross world trip to the US specifically to go see Barbieland.

[@blancaluna572]

[@mairasuhail8954]

elle fanning would be better

[@elfst.]

@@mairasuhail8954 elle fanning is beautiful actress however she has nothing to do with barbie except she is blonde and skinny. Even though barbie has so many different versions this movie is clearly inspired by the original barbie who is an unbelievably successful business woman, she has many jobs so definitely older. And since it is a doll movie (the whole point of the video is everything look like toy) it is normal they choose someone who has more sharp facial features to keep the plastic doll vibe not round and soft face like elle and when i saw the trailer i immediately think about 'barbie life in the dream house' series and that version is more smilar to margot too and lets be honest if it wasnt for ryan and margot it wouldnt get the half of the attention it gets now

I am almost embarrassed to admit that this made me tear me up a little bit 🥲I was OBSESSED with Barbie's as a little girl and had multiple sets of furniture for every conceivable room in a house (and multiple dream houses). I never really "played" but I built my own houses and furniture, hand sewed my own Barbie clothes, and created a Barbie universe. I grew up to be a Furniture Designer and dress maker....who would have thunk it 😉

[@Pheluv]

I cried several times watching the film! The nostalgia, the mother-daughter dynamic, the message. It was more than I excepted. My Barbie experience as a girl sounds very similar to yours. But I remembered playing with my friends Barbie accessories and outfits shown in the film. I don’t make my own clothes but a fair portion of my wardrobe is design by me and made by a professional. I’m glad Barbie fulled a passion in you which shaped your professional life.

[@taraelizabethdensley9475]

I had various barbies when i was little, but never had the house, used to make outfits for my barbies that were not in the stereotypical pink. My favourite barbie was gymnastics barbie

[@piusdoe8984]

Such a shame studios have abandoned the behind the scenes aspect of movies. Stuff like this really makes you appreciate movies and movie making more

[@hammerr3]

They abandoned it because there’s usually nothing to see anymore… like Marvel movies for example, it’s just a screen now

[@davineuskens21]

Yes! I think it also makes people more interested in art, whether as an espectator or as the artist

[@mirandataylor6385]

That’s because for the most part studios have abandoned this type of set design in general and replaced it with digital.

i’ve actually never seen anything quite like this before. The attention to detail and just the size of the whole thing is honestly mind-blowing. “Barbie” should definitely win some awards for the production design.

[@mako3197]

I recall they actually constructed an imitation of a large part of pre-war Gion, Kyoto for Memoirs of a Geisha. Most of the movie was actually filmed in the US which is impressive, all issues aside.

[@jordanjohncarloj.8878]

This is what we want to see in a live Action movie, it doesn't have to be realistic and it doesn't need to make sense because realism strips the fantasy away. I'm definitely excited to see Barbie in the cinema!

Exactly ! Let the fantasy flourish. Go wild. Pop the colors. Looking at you, Disney. Smh.

[@sapphirejade5029]

EXACTLY! I'm loving how Hollywood is slowly going back to its older roots and tricks for making movies. There's so much charm and character that always surprises me. I always loved seeing the behind the scenes content and seeing the imagination come to reality. All the long concepts. All the little details. It's incredible. I've been watching a LOT of movies that bring back to the pre-CGI/early CGI times (i.e., The Labyrinth, The Dark Crystal, Cabinet of Curiosities (Made in 2022 but uses little to no CGI)) and letting puppetry, SFX makeup in maximum detail, and set lighting for the PERFECT moods is SO worth it.

It would be so cool if in the future they use the set for tourism purposes cuz the set is just too perfect to just throw away after the filming. The set is a perfect opportunity to use for a fun area for both adults & kids to feel nostalgic while possibly eating Barbie themed foods 😊

I knew Greta was the woman for this because I've always admired her attention to detail in the cinematography, inflection of an actor's voice and the way they should dress, walk and talk.

Do people still care about Oscars? Saying “give them an Oscar” has become a meme where at random you pick one person’s skill over another and praising them for it disproportionately by saying “give this person an Oscar.” Although I mentioning this to you because I don’t think you meant it how people say it now. Alpha, GenZ, and probably most millennials don’t respect how the Oscars are given by the self absorbed to the self absorbed while ignoring what people actually like and pushing on us what we don’t like.
