The opening scene of the “Barbie” movie, which parodies the beginning of “2001: A Space Odyssey,” opens with the epic strains of Richard Strauss’ “Also Sprach Zarathustra.” Little girls stare up in awe at a towering Margot Robbie dressed as the original, 1959 version of Barbie in a strapless, black-and-white chevron bathing suit.

Barbie tilts down her white sunglasses, gives a wide smile and winks. She is statuesque, she is classic, she is Barbie!

She is so mesmerizing, in fact, that the little girls in drab, old-fashioned clothing decide to start smashing away at their now-inadequate baby dolls.

While Robbie has an incredible wardrobe of Barbie clothes in the new film, her Barbie original swimsuit outfit from this opening scene is a standout — and you can wear something just like it.

Here’s the first official trailer of the Barbie movie, which was released in December 2022, showcasing Barbie in the iconic swimsuit.

You may not be able to get your hands on the matching, custom Herve Leger bodycon dress that Robbie wore to promote the film in Sydney. And a Body Glove suit that closely matches the film and doll’s suits is sold out. But, while you wait for Body Glove to restock, you can find other similarly inspired black-and-white-striped and chevron suits online.

Unique Vintage has a version of the Barbie outfit for $88, although it’s currently on backorder. You can purchase it now and get it when it is expected to be back in stock on Sept. 1. The nylon and spandex suits have removable, adjustable straps. It also features a shelf for the bust and a silicone top seam to keep the sweetheart top in place.
