But that wasn’t the only sweet surprise for the actress, who was also seen carrying a box of doughnuts on set in between takes, along with a pointy party hat.

Robbie’s husband, British producer Tom Ackerley, also joined the cast on set to celebrate his wife’s big day.

Robbie was dressed as an ’80s roller-skating dream, wearing a white buttoned shirt over her hot pink bike shorts and multi-coloured swirl-print leotard.

The film’s bright pink colour scheme has quickly become a trend for the summer, inspiring celebrities from Kim Kardashian to Megan Fox to live out their Barbie dreams.

The highly anticipated film depicts Barbie as a “fish out of water” and takes a twist on the traditional story of the iconic doll.

According to a plot synopsis by Deadline, “Barbie gets kicked out of Barbieland because she’s not perfect enough” and she goes on an adventure to save Barbieland only to realise “the key to happiness is belief in oneself”.

Robbie took on the role as both actor and producer for the upcoming project, which began filming in Los Angeles in June.

The actress has been seen rocking matching neon skates and platinum blonde haircuts with co-star Gosling, who’s playing Ken in the film.

Dynamic duo

Gosling, 41, and Robbie were also snapped dressed in matching cowboy hats with pink bandanas around their necks.

The actress rocked her signature bright pink hue from head to toe in a vest and bell-bottomed pants covered in star appliques. Meanwhile, Gosling wore a black fringe-trimmed cowboy shirt, flared trousers and white boots.

Neon Ken

Gosling was also photographed wearing a sleeveless, neon vest, matching shorts, a hot pink muscle tank and a classic ’90s yellow bum bag, presumably dressed as Malibu Ken.

Barbie is set to hit Australian cinemas on July 20, 2023.
