Actress Margot Robbie and her husband Tom Ackerley graced the world premiere of their new movie Barbie at the Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall in Los Angeles on Sunday. The 33-year-old star, who portrays the iconic doll in the comedy directed by Greta Gerwig, opted for a glamorous black gown adorned with long sleeves gloves and a diamond necklace, reminiscent of a vintage 1960s Mattel Barbie outfit. Ackerley, a producer on the film, complemented his wife with a classy black tuxedo. The couple posed together on the pink-hued red carpet, with Ackerley affectionately wrapping his hand around Robbie's waist.
Robbie and Ackerley first crossed paths on the set of Suite Française in 2013, where she acted alongside Michelle Williams and Kristin Scott. They began dating a year later and quietly tied the knot in 2016 in a private ceremony on Australia's Gold Coast. Robbie announced their marriage through a playful Instagram post, featuring a loving kiss and a glimpse of her diamond ring.
In addition to their personal relationship, Robbie and Ackerley share a professional bond as co-founders of LuckyChap Entertainment, a production company they established in 2014 with friends Josey McNamara and Sophia Kerr.
Through LuckyChap, the couple has produced several successful films and television series, including Robbie's critically acclaimed performances in I, Tonya, Birds of Prey, and now Barbie. They have also achieved industry recognition with an Oscar win for their production of Promising Young Woman.
As evident from their joint appearances during the Barbie press tour, Ackerley continues to support Robbie in her endeavors. He is set to produce her upcoming Ocean's Eleven project and has other exciting ventures in the pipeline, as listed on his IMDb page.
Barbie will hit theaters on July 21, promising audiences a delightful and empowering story inspired by the iconic doll.
