Move over pink, black is the new power color for Margot Robbie! The Aussie actress, known for rocking Barbie pink all award season, ditched the bubblegum hue for a striking black Versace dress at the Oscars. Was it a bold fashion statement or a silent scream of frustration?
Fan Theories Take Flight
Eagle-eyed fans suspected a deeper meaning behind the wardrobe change. Robbie, snubbed for a Best Actress nod for her role in “Barbie,” had fans buzzing about a potential protest dress. Social media erupted with comments like “Black because she was snubbed” and “Barbie is in grief for her non-nomination.”
Award Show Host Throws Shade Too
Adding fuel to the fire, Oscars host Jimmy Kimmel took a playful jab at the Academy’s decision. He acknowledged Robbie and co-star Ryan Gosling’s presence, quipping they “already won something much more important: the genetic lottery.” Ouch! But Kimmel didn’t stop there. He also called out the snub of “Barbie” director Greta Gerwig, leaving the audience with a bittersweet “you’re clapping but you didn’t vote for her” remark.
Did the Academy Get Schooled by Barbie?
Whether Robbie’s dress was a calculated statement or simply a fashion choice, one thing’s for sure: the internet had a field day. The Academy might have overlooked “Barbie,” but social media sure didn’t!
