Put Chrissy Teigen in the “Barbie” movie ASAP. While visiting Airbnb’s new Barbie Dreamhouse in Malibu, CA, Teigen took advantage of her surroundings and re-created the iconic arched foot scene from the film’s official trailer — the very scene she marveled at on Twitter earlier this year.
Wobbling in iridescent heels, she struggled to free her right foot from its hot-pink confines, kicking the shoe away and delicately displaying her pointed foot à la Margot Robbie. The next side went about as smoothly, with Teigen wriggling out of the left heel and sparking laughter from behind the camera. “Flawless !!!” she captioned the June 29 post on Instagram.
While Teigen’s version might not have looked as effortless as Robbie’s, it certainly was more realistic. According to Robbie, it took quite a bit of movie magic to help her slip out of her own heels so smoothly on set. “They had little sticky bits on the floor, like double-sided tape, for the shoes so they wouldn’t come off so that I could get my feet out of them,” she explained to Fandango in a June 24 interview. “I was holding on to a bar, but that’s it. I wasn’t in a harness or anything like that.”
One thing both Barbies have in common? Incredible arches. “Perfection,” John Legend commented on Teigen’s Instagram video, while others applauded her commitment to the original scene. “The casting director is going to cast you in BARBIE 2 as soon as she sees this,” one user wrote — and we can only hope they end up being right.
