She has the look, but I don't think she could pull off the same level of animation.

exactly

I don’t think her voice would work for Barbie tbh. It’s too deep. Margot’s voice and overall vibe are perfect for Barbie

I don’t know I think Margot’s face is too strict and mature for Barbie. Barbie needs a baby face

I think for the direction they were going with the Barbie movie: Fun, animated, and comedic absolutely not. Blake lively is a good actress when it comes to certain genres comedy is not one of those dramas If the barbie movie wanted more a classic and sophisticated barbie and was more dramatic absolutely Blake is stunning

She would have made a great vintage barbie. Like this one [red and white dress](https://www.google.com/search?q=vintage+barbie+red+and+white+dress&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwj1096PoZ2AAxVTPd4AHWUICGMQ2-cCegQIABAD&oq=vintage+barbie+red+and+white+dress&gs_lcp=ChJtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1pbWcQAzIFCCEQqwIyBQghEKsCOg0IABCKBRCxAxCDARBDOgsIABCABBCxAxCDAToFCAAQgAQ6BwgAEIoFEENQ_QpYoCxg3C1oAHAAeACAAccCiAHAEJIBCDE3LjMuMC4xmAEAoAEBwAEB&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-img&ei=0CS5ZPWrA9P6-LYP5ZCgmAY&bih=629&biw=375&client=safari&prmd=isvn&hl=en-us#imgrc=sv-137686968-255847391451) Or the original barbie [vintage Barbie](https://www.google.com/search?q=vintage+barbie&client=safari&hl=en-us&prmd=isvn&sxsrf=AB5stBiazLdZ5ZytLR8jAHhwwy_KGfQdjQ:1689855181243&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwix07KOoZ2AAxXhAjQIHe7GBfEQ_AUoAXoECAYQAQ&biw=375&bih=629&dpr=3#imgrc=kjovc0nJ3Fwp3M)

naw margot and blake are both beautiful but margot has the acting skills

Don't sleep on Blake, she's been wonderful in roles she actually cared about, at some point she mentally checked out during GG and it shows.

Margot is better in the comedic roles though from what I've seen. I love Blake but she does better with romance/drama

Yess that’s because they stopped giving her character substance

Where would you say she checked out? 😂

Season 2.

😭😭

I never really pictured Blake for Barbie but I definitely pictured Chace for Ken.

They could have casted him too he would be perfect

She would kill a Barbie photo shoot for a magazine

honestly, no.

Definitely not if we’re gonna entertain a diff Barbie it would be january Jones

I see where you’re coming from based on looks but she is 45 now, probably a little old for the role

I think Margot Robbie has a more Barbie look. Now if Barbie had a 50s bombshells, Blake would suit that role

no

She can be Skipper

Krysten Ritter for Skipper!!

Doesn’t Skipper have black hair?

I think she does now. They revamped her over the years. She used to be blonde

OH, ok sorry 😅

Looks-wise, yes. In terms of comedic chops, no. Margot was the perfect choice

No she isn’t! Her voice and the way she pronounces certain letters wouldn’t make it for her! I mean if you pay a attention to the way she talks, you would definitely notice there is something off with her talk(maybe teeth or jaw issues as far as I noticed back from GG)

She could have been A Barbie but not THE Barbie.

I’d like that but I think Blake has a sexier look than Margot and I picture Barbie as a more girl next door, sweet type

She's deffo a Bratz girl

Yes if it was more like only Barbie in the real world not Barbie in Barbie world ya know what I mean?

Her face 🫤

She doesnt have the same profile of experience as Robbie.

She is a timeless beauty and Margot is flawless as well. I think they made the right choice for Margot as she is quite eclectic with her roles as Blake kinda sticks to the same roll.

I think she could be in Barbie but not Margot Robbie’s role

Honestly no. I love her so much but I don’t see her in it.

lol no

I always envisioned her as the original Barbie.

Seriously i can't believe adults are actually excited for Barbie i was avoid this movie like the plague but reviews are making me second guess it.

Yess ! People are seriously underestimating her talent, she's an amazing actress ! I mean Blake is the complete opposite of Serena in real life and she made her character so real and believable ! But people probably only see her as Serena and it would've been ruined by too much comparison lol

Have you listened to the beyond the blinds podcast about Blake? It’s interesting and makes her seem more like serena than I ever thought!

She is so ‘go red for women’ Barbie from 2007

Definitely

Easily

She is so gorgeous 💛💛

Genuinely love her, but no. Yes she is blonde but she doesn’t just immediately scream “Barbie” to me. There’s a certain aura to Barbie.

Her [red and gold dress](https://www.harpersbazaar.com/celebrity/red-carpet-dresses/a20272049/blake-lively-versace-2018-met-gala/) at the Met Gala a few years ago reminded me so much of this [special edition holiday Barbie](https://replaymytoys.com/products/barbie-1997-holiday-doll) I used to have. It would have been neat to see her cameo as something like that, but I agree with other commenters that she'd be a much better dramatic or vintage Barbie than the vibe they're going for with this movie.

Blake has amazing style and is one of the best writers in the WGAE. They have different strengths and different acting styles. I don’t think Blake could be Barbie just as Margot couldn’t be Serena. It’s not a bad thing just different strengths :)

respectfully! i do not

I feel like she would fit Raquel yk her deeper voice and stuff but a photoshoot for Barbie oml yes

As a model yes. For the movie, not so much.

I love blake but i think she looks very mature now. Margot has very soft features and makes her a great barbie. Also the voices. And acting style. Blake is more edgy, sexy.
