Captured on set in Venice Beach, Los Angeles, on Tuesday, the pair of platinum-blondes were clad in eye-popping 80s-esque neon spandex outfits, complete with visors, roller skates and knee pads. The brightly-colored ensembles of pink, yellow and blue hues brought on nostalgic vibes, causing the internet to burst into a frenzy of excitement for the reveal of the rest of the outfits in the movie.

Social media users were hype at the similarities to former real-life Barbie costumes they recognized, with one Twitter user commenting, “Finally showing us Barbie and Ken outfits I actually had!” “THIS is the era of Barbie I grew up with. Like… I’m sure those exact roller blades are in a tote at my parents house right now (my niece still plays with all of our old Barbies!😊) The costume designer for this movie is ON IT. 💯” another user chimed in. Other Twitter users expressed their approval of the cast choices, while others can’t wait to find out the plot. Robbie and Gosling were also previously pictured filming in full cowboy-themed looks. “[The role] comes with a lot of baggage and a lot of nostalgic connections. But that comes with a lot of exciting ways to attack it,” Robbie, 31, told British Vogue. The star promised the film will have an element of surprise, veering away from what people would expect of the typical Mattel-centered theme. “People generally hear ‘Barbie’ and think, ‘I know what that movie is going to be,’ and then they hear that Greta Gerwig is writing and directing it, and they’re like, ‘Oh, well, maybe I don’t…” she added. It has been rumored that multiple Barbies and Kens may be depicted in the film, with Will Ferrell, America Ferrera, Issa Rae, Hari Nef and Emma Mackey joining the star-studded lineup.
