The second trailer for the highly-anticipated new Barbie movie gave away plenty of new details: but one key reveal has sent fans absolutely wild.

Directed by Greta Gerwig, Barbie stars Margot Robbie as the iconic doll and titular character, with Ryan Gosling as her love interest, Ken.

There was plenty to unpack in the trailer – but it’s Barbie’s famously permanently-arched feet, appearing in the very first seconds of the clip, that has caused the biggest reaction online, with even Chrissy Teigen joining the frenzy.

“I need to know everything about this shot. How many takes, if she held onto something, was she harnessed, is the landing mark sticky, are they her feet, who did the pedicure, really just a documentary on this shot,” she wrote on Twitter.

The first teaser for Barbie – released last year – didn’t give away any plot details, but the most recent finally shed some light on the storyline, with Barbie and Ken seen leaving Barbieland.

Barbie’s supporting cast includes Simu Liu, Ncuti Gatwa, Michael Cera, Issa Rae, Rhea Perlman and Kate McKinnon.

Grammy-winning singer Dua Lipa also makes her acting debut as a mermaid version of the doll.

Barbie will be released in Australian theatres on July 20.
