However, others were smitten with the matching outfits of the A-list pair as they suited up for the new film.
One excited fan wrote: “I’m obsessed, I can’t believe how perfect they are! So excited for them to bring these beloved characters to life.”
Last week, Margot and Ryan were snapped in more matching attire as they donned cowboy outfits to play Barbie and Ken.
The Hollywood heart-throbs wore matching white hats and boots, and both with hot pink neckerchiefs, as they shot scenes in LA.
And today, fans were nearly sent into overdrive at Margot’s dramatic voice change in a leaked video from the film’s set.
The film – scheduled to be released in July 2023 – will be directed by Greta Gerwig, who previously opened up about the honour of leading the charge.
She said in a press release: “Playing with Barbie promotes confidence, curiosity and communication throughout a child’s journey to self-discovery.
“I’m so honored to take on this role and produce a film that I believe will have a tremendously positive impact on children and audiences worldwide.”
She concluded: “I can’t imagine better partners than Warner Bros and Mattel to bring this film to the big screen.”
Back in August 2021, Margot also touched on taking on the role of Barbie, admitting that it “comes with a lot of baggage … and a lot of nostalgic connections.”
