Step Into The Iconic ‘Barbie’ Dreamhouse For A Tour Of The Life-Size Pink Palace
Earlier this month, it was revealed that creating a life-size rendition of the iconic Dreamhouse for the highly-anticipated Barbie movie had resulted in a global shortage of pink paint.
Now, Margot Robbie, who plays the titular character, has finally unveiled the interior of the pink palace in a new video for Architectural Digest. And yes, nearly everything in the home is pink.
Within the confines of the Dreamhouse, one can spot the evolution of the toy’s stylings way back from when it first gained prominence in the ‘50s to modern-day touches, furnished with a mix of actual items and stickers just like in the toy sets.
A pair of shades may be needed, considering just how pink the entire home is. Various hues of the vibrant shade line the walls and furniture, including a pink refrigerator and round breakfast table in the kitchen.
Not to mention, Barbie’s bedroom is decked out in ethereal pink, complete with a giant seashell headboard, sequined bed covers for the extra razzle-dazzle, and pink fluffy cushions.
Director Greta Gerwig revealed in the video that the team assembling the home had countless meetings solely about the color itself. Comparing all the different shades of pink, designers had to determine how each hue interacted to create the perfect look.
As for Robbie herself, her favorite element is the pink slide, which connects directly from the bedroom down to the pool. For those wondering why the pool has no water in it, the designers simply say that “there are no elements in Barbie’s house.”
The enviable self-updating wardrobe from the tales makes an appearance, too, resembling the plastic box packaging the toy version of Barbie comes in. Look closely, and you’ll spot hanging monkey figurines, Barbie’s wigs, and the instantly-recognizable pink convertible, all part of the dècor.
Catch the Barbie movie when it premieres in theaters on July 21 for even more insight into the pink, plastic world of the famed doll.
