“There were some incredible outfits that I actually got to wear thatClaudia Schifferherself, who’s kind of like a real-life Barbie, wore,” the actress says in the video. “In fact, one of the archival suits that I wore had a little label that said ‘Claudia’ on it. And I was like, ‘Wow!'”
Archival footage circa the 1990s in the Chanel video shows Schiffer walking the runway and sporting a Chanel tweed skirt suit that Robbie would later wear in theBarbieproduction.
And it wasn’t just that outfit. Robbie also had several other Chanel pieces for the film’s production, including a highly coveted quilted pink heart-shaped handbag.

“Even on the set, there was one look where I have a pink love-heart-shaped Chanel bag, and I remember all the girls on the set were like: ‘Can I hold it?’” Robbie also says in the video.
Schiffer herself praised Robbie in her ownInstagrampost, writing in the caption: “Margot Robbie has great taste 😉@chanelofficial&@versacelooks then and now.”

Ironically, Robbie, who also produced the film,revealedto PEOPLE recently that she wasn’t entirely a Barbie girl as a kid in Australia — she didn’t recall having a Barbie doll at the time. “My sister did and I remember my cousin did,” she said. “I would play with my cousin’s, but I wasn’t actually that much of a Barbie girl as a kid.”

She added that she tended to gravitate towards to the unusual Barbies when she did play with dolls. “I was more of a roll-around-in-the-mud kind of gal…I think they were all so janky because they were not well cared for. They were all weird Barbies.”
