Margot, 32, who also wore a pink dress and a cowboy hat and shirt, for Vogue Magazine, said she’s worked hard to make sure the Barbie film does the brand justice.
She said of Barbie: “She is sexualized. But she should never be sexy.
“People can project sex onto her. Yes, she can wear a short skirt, but because it’s fun and pink. Not because she wanted you to see her butt.”
Margot stars alongside Ryan Gosling in the film after he took up the role as Barbie’s boyfriend Ken.
He said she helped him get into the role by leaving him presents on set every day.
Ryan, 42, said: “She left a pink present with a pink bow, from Barbie to Ken, every day while we were filming.
“They were all beach-related. Like puka shells, or a sign that says ‘Pray for surf.’
“Because Ken’s job is just beach. I’ve never quite figured out what that means.
“But I felt like she was trying to help Ken understand, through these gifts that she was giving.”
