A new book, 'Barbie: The World Tour,' has arrived, promising a dazzling behind-the-scenes peek into Barbie's world. This vibrant collaboration between actress Margot Robbie, who brought Barbie to life on screen, and her stylist Andrew Mukamal, transcends a simple photo collection.

 

 

'Barbie: The World Tour' unfolds like an engaging narrative, chronicling the creation of the unforgettable outfits Robbie donned during the press tour for Greta Gerwig's Barbie movie. But that's not all. The book also unveils a treasure trove of never-before-seen looks envisioned for the tour but sidelined by the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike. Each outfit is a tribute to Barbie’s rich history, inspired by vintage dolls and reimagined with a touch of high-fashion elegance by design houses like Chanel, Vivienne Westwood, and Donatella Versace.
