Over the last year, we’ve seen Margot Robbie shapeshift into a real-life Barbie. She’s donned countless Barbie-inspired looks, becoming known for her iconic long blonde hair and all-pink outfits. But the star just debuted a brand new anti-Barbie haircut: Margot Robbie’s lob is a big departure from her signature Barbie-core aesthetic, and it’s making us wonder what new era might be in store for her.
Sadly, nothing lasts forever. In recent months, we’ve watched Robbie slowly but surely retire her “stereotypical Barbie” look. At the 2024 Oscars, Robbie stunned everyone in an anti-Barbie outfit—a black sequin Versace dress. And though this Oscars look was just as stunning as the pink ones, it signaled the beginning of the end.
We all knew Robbie’s Barbie era would be over soon—but we weren’t expecting the actress to go so anti-Barbie so fast. And while Robbie’s new hair transformation suits her beautifully, we can’t help but feel a little sad about her Barbie era coming to a close.
Robbie’s new hair is a lob (or a long bob), and it’s perfect for spring and summer. Thankfully for us Barbie stans, she’s still wearing her signature blonde—only a bit warmer and darker at the roots. This new hairstyle might be a complete 180 from her Barbie hair, but you can’t deny how chic it is. With all the fun and silliness that Barbie is, maybe the star needed to break free and take on a more serious look. The best part of this transformation? Robbie debuted her new hair with none other than a black dress. Maybe black is the new pink.
As we swap out our pink Barbie-core outfits for black ones, this might be the start of a brand new era—lob girl summer. Celebrities like Jennifer Aniston and Hailey Bieber ushered in the lob renaissance. And with Robbie now part of the club, we’re all contemplating chopping off our hair for the warmer months. Last summer, we had long hair and wore neon pink—and thanks to Margot Robbie’s brand new look, this summer we’ll be rocking black outfits and lobs.
