And just like that – “soft and chic” glam is back in the house, as is Samantha Jones! She made her return official with the Vogue Greece cover – ‘Bold Woman’, and in the last episode of the series, she appears in her signature style and looking stunning for 67.

Well, it seems you can embrace both – bold and soft. That’s the point, isn’t it? Sex and the City costume designer Patricia Field brought us back to the bold closet of her beloved character. So let’s create some outfits!

Sparkly and with lots of skin on show

You might have thought – glitter is just for fun. Considering Samantha is a walking party, that makes sense. But who says you can’t have fun every day?

It doesn’t have to involve an all-night party, lots of champagne and people. Have a private party in your closet and take only a part with you. For example, opt for a quality pair of sparkly boots with a basic outfit.

It’s the best start for anyone new to experimenting with glitter. Fashion accessories and small details like brooches or scarves are a great choice. However, if you want to look bold like this actress – go ahead, wear a glitter dress that makes you perfectly hot!

Business casual

Now let’s get serious…or not. The costume designers of the series just wanted to make viewers think – Samantha as a businesswoman or a star of nightlife. Well, she’s like a superhero who can do both.

That doesn’t mean you can’t, watch this. To begin with, try to avoid overly loose pieces (for example, faded jeans) and sportswear. Instead, opt for a stylish wide-leg, trench coat, plain white t-shirt and vest. Lock down the outfit with powered heels and a matching handbag.

Speaking of her superpowers, we have to single out one more. If the cult series was filmed in 2023, Samantha would surely adore the Barbenheimer aesthetic! In that case, don’t completely eliminate sneakers from your business casual outfits. Look for sneakers made of more refined materials (like artificial leather), which are quite relaxed footwear, but at the same time – a little more refined. Try a bright suit colon like pink, you’ll look relaxed and professional.

Prints

We’re sure you’ll agree with me when I say that nineties styles are back in a big way. This trend could also be seen on celebrities such as Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly, but also Olivia Rodrigo and Sky Ferreira, where traces of the 2010s can be seen without fail.

Let’s be real though, this isn’t something that everyone would wear, and that everyone would be comfortable wearing. Not to mention the business dress code, but for all other occasions – why not! You can opt for a head-to-toe print or one bold piece, it’s up to you.

Statement jewellery

If you follow the street fashion of the world’s capitals, especially the fashion ones, you have probably noticed that large and impressive necklaces are coming back. For such jewellery to look good, you must wear it with blouses, t-shirts and dresses with a suitable neckline. Until now we liked to wear long, thin chains containing romanticism and femininity.

Unlike a few years ago, when we wore models like this and in various colours, silver pieces or necklaces with some shiny detail now dominate. It can even have a rock note, for example, if you combine a silver necklace with a white T-shirt, jeans and a leather jacket. The Mexican silver pieces are particularly striking.

But you can wear them a little differently – on your back. Yes, you read that right. This way, you will get an even more striking look, with a touch of sexiness and elegance. This selection of jewellery is ideal for celebrations where you really want to make an impression. Kim Cattrall likes this!

An LBD with a dominatrix twist

If you’re unsure what we’re talking about, let’s take Hailey Bieber, for example. She loves to wear simple pieces of clothing like slip dresses and blazers, with bold accessories. Recently, long gloves, impressive and oversized jewellery, as well as “ugly” shoes have been popular.

So, you have many options, you just need to find the one that goes best with your outfit. Still, have no idea what to wear? Picture this: a perfect Saint Laurent minidress in a glossy, patent leather finish. It’s definitely edgier than your average LBD – but a little risk is always fun!

Sexy red dress

Ah, that eye-catching red dress with a metallic silver trench coat and a lime green clutch! Anyone who watched the last episode of And Just Like That knows what I’m talking about. For everyone else – Kim Cattrall wore it.

If you want something bolder, for a romantic date or going out with friends, consider something like SKIMS slip dresses. Actually, it’s something Samantha would wear often. This piece of clothing opens up brilliant possibilities for various innovative fashion combinations. You can wear it with a T-shirt underneath, a sweater over it, a biker leather jacket and boots, a blazer or jeans!

Tailoring in a look

Fans of the series will surely remember the monochromatic, vintage-inspired and perfectly fitted outfits worn by Kim Cattrall’s Samantha Jones. What is a custom style? Well, we just described it. This applies to clothing, it is more structured and precisely fitted.

However, that doesn’t mean you can’t experiment with different patterns, textures, and colours. Pay attention to the size, your build, and the materials. It is recommended to wear garments made from the same material if you want to achieve that look.

Knitwear

How to look ultra-trendy without a lot of money and effort? If you ask Kim Cattrall and this year, there is only one answer to this question! Well, if you thought knitwear was only reserved for cold days – you’re wrong.

When parting from sunny and warm days, there is no better comfort for the transition season than this outfit. Dresses, cardigans, tops, skirts… there is nothing that is not made from this material.

Special focus will be on models that fall close to the body, neither oversized nor too narrow, so they subtly highlight the figure and create an hourglass shape.

Conclusion:

Achieving Kim Cattrall’s soft and bold look also requires work on yourself. In addition to fashion choices, makeup, and hairstyling, you should step boldly through life. If you add to that soft features, unique accessories, and chic outfits – you’ve made it.

This makes sense, because if your skin-care routine consists of products that suit you, you’ll only need a few of them. For example, Margot has very sensitive skin which means she occasionally experiences tightness, redness and irritation. I know what you’re thinking – no way! Oh yes, she also knows how to soothe her sensitive skin and nurture a natural glow. If she can do it, so can you.

For starters, get rid of skin-care products that irritate the skin and reduce the use of AHAs, BHAs and exfoliants. Next, find a moisturizer for your skin type as well as a daily hydrating cream. Use a mild cleanser, and for deep cleansing add DC (Double Cleansing method). Of course, she wears SPF every day of the year so she doesn’t get hyperpigmentation. You’ll thank me later!

Choose natural makeup looks

You don’t have to have a perfectly symmetrical face (nobody does), but you do have to have well-groomed facial skin if you want your makeup to look good. Even professional makeup artists can’t work miracles on dehydrated skin. If you’ve got that part taken care of, we can talk about Margot Robbie’s natural makeup look. Let’s be real, she’s not a real Barbie which means she needs makeup to look like that.

But what does she use? When you look a little closer, you will notice the subtlety in her makeup. That’s not to say the makeup artists didn’t spend hours working on it. They just know the secret recipe for the natural look, and I stole it for you.

Use a palette with nude colours, rich blushes in small quantities and a minimum of bronzer. Pay special attention to the choice of powder, because you want it to contain a slight shimmer. If you don’t use setting powders, you don’t need a highlighter for the Margot Robbie Barbie glow.

Brighten Your Eyes With Highlighter

Don’t worry, I didn’t forget about the eye makeup. Yes, for the most part you won’t notice much makeup on her eyes, which doesn’t mean it’s not there. She mainly emphasizes the natural shine of her eyes, while she achieves the perfect contrast with effective red lipstick.

For this purpose, use a mild highlighter in the inner part of the eyelid, under the eyebrow or in the middle of the eyelid. In order to get the desired look, she uses the range of nude colours from the eyeshadow palette. Quality mascara and slightly filled eyebrows dominate here.

That’s exactly how she looked at the movie Barbie world premiere premiere in LA. She wore Schiaparelli Haute Couture, a replica of the 1960s Barbie’s (main image). You will agree with me that this look is unbeatable!

Create a natural lip look

In addition to red lipstick, she also likes to use lip glosses. I love glosses, because they will look great on you regardless of the fullness of your lips. Fortunately, there are many lip plumpers, which provide the effect of fuller lips. So it’s very easy to recreate her makeup barbie girl look! However, you will need to have a few things with you:

• Lip liner – find a lip liner that’s not too light or dark against your skin tone, then lightly frame your mouth with it
• Lip Gloss/Oil – it doesn’t matter which product you choose, my recommendation is the cherry colour which will give life to your lips
• Cream lipstick – in order for this makeup combination to last all day, apply a cream lipstick in the same colour before the gloss/oil.

Improve your hair-care routine

You know what I’m talking about if you already have shiny and healthy hair. However, I have a solution if you haven’t known what to do with her for a long time. First, throw the harmful sulphate shampoos in the bin. Instead, choose hair products with natural ingredients like panthenol, oil, glycerine and others. Also avoid parabens, alcohols and perfumes.

Only when you do that, you can start your hair care journey. Along the way, you will also need a product for deep washing your hair (used once a week), a hair mask (twice a week), a conditioner (every wash), as well as an unrefined oil to stimulate hair growth. If you persist in this, you will see the first results after a month!

Work on your confident attitude

Your self-confidence needs to take care of your body and mind. As you can imagine, Margot faces many challenges throughout her career. She probably had much bigger problems than choosing a dress for the red carpet, and she would often talk about it. So she supports taking care of mental hygiene and I advise you to follow her example.

You can use many techniques and methods to build or maintain your confidence. It can be cognitive-behavioural therapy led by a psychotherapist, which helps you bring emotions and behaviour into balance. You can also write a journal, do yoga, meditate or read psychological literature.

Maintain a healthy lifestyle

Self-confidence greatly impacts your overall health, but it’s not the only thing you should be thinking about. To function, your body needs fuel (energy). It is found in a balanced diet, but some foods disrupt that balance. For example, these are the sugars found in chocolate, processed foods, and juices.

As you already know, their influence is also maintained on our exterior. If you add to that the lack of physical activity, you will get a greyish complexion and poorly structured skin. But do you want glowing skin? Then you should choose foods rich in antioxidants.

Achieve inner happiness

It’s clear to everyone that Margot Robbie loves her job because she does it so well. Therefore, looking inside yourself and understanding what makes you happy is very important. Not everyone has the opportunity to do a job that fulfils them, but try to find time for a hobby.

Free time has a great influence on our mood, and especially the choice of people you spend it with. Choose people with whom you laugh out loud and don’t think about wrinkles; they will certainly come. But inner happiness is already more difficult to unlock. So, hold her tight so she doesn’t run away from you!

Consider skincare treatments

Not all of us are as lucky as Margot, who doesn’t have a problem with skin. If you are going through the same problem, I know how you feel. When inflammatory processes on the skin of the face are frequent and do not go away so easily, it is best to consult a dermatologist. Of course, there are milder conditions that are often the result of poor facial hygiene.

In this case, beauticians with experience with such cases will help you. There are many different treatments, and regular facial cleansing, like comedoexpression, should be part of your monthly routine. Additionally, more mature skin will love Botox and similar treatments.

Conclusion

Well, have fun trying different combinations of skincare, makeup, hair care, and lifestyle choices. Remember, a Barbie-like look isn’t just about shine-enhancing serums and hairsprays. You must have a positive mindset and your own style. In the end, each person’s version of the Barbiecore trend is unique. Add a little effort and self-care, and congratulations, you’ve unlocked Margot Robbie’s Barbie Glow!
