Margot Robbie Ditches ‘Barbie’ Blonde Hair and Looks So Different With Bangs

Barbie summer may be a thing of the past, but my fascination with Margot Robbie’s hair is still going very strong. In Greta Gerwig’s hit film, Robbie sported the perfect Barbie hair—it was big, bouncy, and bleached blonde. In her real life, Robbie went for a subtler, old money blonde shade—and soon shocked fans by chopping off her long hair into a bold lob last April. Around the same time, we got a glimpse at Robbie’s latest on-screen look in some behind-the-scenes photos—and it appeared to be another major change.

Well, it’s official. Robbie stars in A Big Bold Beautiful Journey alongside Colin Farrell, and the first trailer for the film offers a first glimpse at her new look—long boho strawberry blonde hair along with some retro Goldie Hawn-esque curtain bangs.

Robbie plays Sarah, a young single woman who meets a stranger at a wedding (Farrell) and sets out on a wild adventure through both of their pasts. As the official description puts it, it’s “a funny, fantastical, sweeping adventure together where they get to re-live important moments from their respective pasts, illuminating how they got to where they are in the present…and possibly getting a chance to alter their futures.”

Robbie’s signature shade may be blonde, but, it turns out, she wasn’t always a fan. In fact, when she first had to dye her hair blonde for a role she was apparently “devastated.” “I always dyed it dark in high school,” she once told Elle. “I was devastated when I had to go blonde.”

As for bangs, Robbie is no stranger to a good fringe. Who can forget that iconic bang moment at the 2021 Oscars? Or even that one Barbie look with a full fringe?

This will be Robbie’s first on-screen role since she played the iconic doll come to life in 2023’s Barbie. She is also set to star in Emerald Fennell’s adaptation of Wuthering Heights in 2026—and by the looks of things in a few BTS photos, she is going back to her signature ‘Barbie’ blonde for the role.
