Real-life Barbie Margot Robbie celebrates birthday with THAT iconic cake

Come on Barbie, let’s go party!

Australia’s own Margot Robbie celebrated her birthday this week in the most on-brand way we’ve seen.

The now-32-year old was presented with a bright pink Barbie cake by the cast of the Barbie movie, which she is currently filming.

The cake is a classic ballgown look for Barbie and anybody who celebrated a birthday in the ’90s likely to be overcome by a wave of nostalgia at first sight.

Everything from the shimmery finish on her skirt and delightful floral swimsuit is iconic – she’s ready for the catwalk AND the beach. That’s so Barbie!

The cake was only one part of Margot’s birthday celebration, with the star spotted on set of the film with a box of doughnuts and wearing a pointed party hat. 

Her husband, British producer Tom Ackerley, was also seen on set for the shindig.

Margot plays the titular character in Greta Gerwig’s upcoming live-action Barbie film about a doll expelled from Barbieland for “not being perfect enough”.

It’s hard to imagine Margot “not being perfect”, especially given the glimpses of the film we have seen so far.

Pics of Margot and co-star Ryan Gosling, who plays Ken, have lit up social media. We’ve see them rollerblading in matching fluro outfits and strolling along in incredible cowboy-esque ensembles.

The movie hosts a star studded cast including Kate McKinnon, Alexandra Shipp, America Ferrera, Hari Nef, Issa Rae, Michael Cera, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Rhea Perlman, Emerald Fennell, Ncuti Gatwa, Jamie Demetriou and Scott Evans.

Will Ferrell is rumoured to be playing a villain and Simu Liu is believed to be playing another Ken doll after he told The Independent he’d waxed his entire body in preparation for the role.

“It was one of the most painful experiences of my life,” he said, “[it was] an education, to say the least.”

Margot’s French doppelgänger Emma Mackey also stars in the film – perhaps as a denizen of Barbieland, or maybe as one of Barbie’s sisters?

Unfortunately for fans of Aqua’s masterpiece ‘Barbie Girl’, a manager for the band’s lead singer, Lene Nystrøm, confirmed the song will not be used in the movie. 

Margot and hubby Tom are both producers on the film along with Walter Parkes, Robbie Brenner, and David Heyman.

We still have a while yet before its July 2023 release date but hopefully we’ll get more pictures and a trailer soon!
