The new trailer for the upcoming Barbie movie has arrived - and it's safe to say everyone is distracted by Margot Robbie's feet.

Margot is set to star in the lead role as the iconic plastic doll in the upcoming flick, as she leaves Barbieland for the real world in search of happiness.

Ever since the first teaser trailer was released, giving fans a glimpse at Margot as Barbie and Ryan Gosling as Ken, fans have been seriously excited to get stuck into the bubble-gum pink surroundings of Barbie's world.

However, once the second trailer was released, there was only one thing anyone could focus on - the sheer abundance of shots of Margot's feet.

While the teaser trailer saw everyone distracted by Margot's ability to weightlessly step out of her heels and stay on her toes without so much as a wobble, emulating the Mattel doll's permanently arched feet, in the latest drop, she's set to swap the high heels for Birkenstocks instead.

... and with that comes the sudden realization she now has flat feet too.

Of course, when the topic of conversation is the concerning flatness of one's feet, there comes a gratuitous shot of Margot holding said flat foot up in the air to allow her fellow Barbies to have a good look at them - leading one to retch in disgust.

Fans were quick to comment on the fact the focus was on the actress's feet, tweeting: "Margot Robbie’s feet seem to enchant all the directors" and "Barbie has exposed me to Margot Robbie’s feet more than I ever expected anything would in my entire life."

One joked: "Saw a preview for Margot Robbie as Barbie- there’s a scene with her feet and I KNOW all you feet lovers are gunna have that theatre sold out."

Another commented: "Man, if you have a thing for women’s feet and/or Margot Robbie, today is your lucky day. My IG feed is nothing but the Barbie trailer."

It's not the first time Margot Robbie's feet have caused a furor, however, as they were also prominently featured in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, too.

She revealed that director Quentin Tarantino had actually asked her not to wash her feet - which were dirty from walking around barefoot on set - for a scene in which she has them propped up on the back of a set, taking pride of place in front of the camera.

Despite the obsession with her feet, Margot finds the fixation funny as she previously joked on Jimmy Kimmel Live: "I'm very dexterous with my toes. I could pick a lock, no problem," adding that she could even "braid someone's hair with [her] toes".

When asked what she thinks about people loving her feet, she said: "It's weird, but I'm flattered by that."

Well, that's probably a good thing given that this latest trailer has only fuelled the fire further.
