Margot Robbie had each girl’s dream birthday this year.
The Academy Award nominee rang in her 32nd birthday Saturday on the set of Greta Gerwig’s Barbie film, where she was blessed to receive a big pink Barbie doll cake with “Happy Birthday Barbie Margot!” written in icing letters.
She was likewise seen walking on set with a major pink box of Trejo’s Donuts under her arm and a pointed party cap hanging from her finger.
As well as getting back to her pink cowgirl outfit, Robbie was additionally seen shaking her neon rollerblading look once again with costar Ryan Gosling, who plays Ken in the film. She wore a men’s white dress shirt over the costume.
Robbie and Gosling, 41, were recently seen rollerblading in Venice Beach while shooting a scene with Will Ferrell, who plays the CEO of a toy organization (potentially Barbie owner Mattel).
The film follows the beloved doll after she “gets kicked out of Barbieland because she’s not perfect enough, a bit eccentric and doesn’t fit in. She then goes on an adventure in the real world and by the time she returns to Barbieland to save it, she has gained the realization that perfection comes on the inside, not the outside.” Barbie likewise discovers that the “key to happiness is belief in oneself, free of the obligation to adhere to some unattainable standard of perfection,” as per an early plot description.
America Ferrera, Simu Liu, Issa Rae, Michael Cera and Kate McKinnon have likewise joined the cast after Gerwig, 38, was tapped to coordinate the film last year from a screenplay without help from anyone else and partner Noah Baumbach. Robbie likewise serves as a producer through her LuckyChap banner.
Robbie teased the film back in 2020, telling “whatever you’re thinking, it’s not that,” after she took on the coveted role in mid 2019.
“We like the things that feel a little left off center,” she said. “Something like Barbie where the IP, the name itself, people immediately have an idea of, ‘Oh, Margot is playing Barbie, I know what that is,’ but our goal is to be like, ‘Whatever you’re thinking, we’re going to give you something totally different — the thing you didn’t know you wanted.’
“Now, can we truly honor the IP and the fan base and also surprise people? Because if we can do all that and provoke a thoughtful conversation, then we’re really firing on all cylinders,” Robbie added.
The Australian actress previously expressed her excitement about the role to PEOPLE. “I think it’s a great opportunity to put some positivity out in the world and a chance to be aspirational for younger kids,” she said.
Barbie is set to debut July 21, 2023.
