The last year has had us glued to all things Barbie. Hot pink manicures, magenta lips, unnaturally glossy blow drys? You name it, we've had peroxide at the ready. With Greta Gerwig's billion dollar blockbuster headed into award season, Margot Robbie is officially the It-girl of our beauty moodboards and her latest Barbie doll recreations have given us ample inspiration to work from. 1960s updos? Check. Two-toned french tips? Check. This Barbie has it all.

However, this isn't the first time the 33-year-old actress has reigned as a beauty icon. From grown-out brunette lobs to quintessential red carpet beauty, here you'll find Margot Robbie's best make-up and hair looks from the last 10 years; think covetable blonde shades with beachy Australian highlights, classic red carpet updos suitable for any wedding and a thorough lesson in unwavering natural make-up.
