One of the most iconic shots in Greta Gerwig’s Barbie is of our heroine simply removing her shoes. (Don’t worry, this is all in the trailer. It’s not really a spoiler.) Barbie daintily steps out of pink heels, but her feet retain the tiptoe shape just like a real Barbie doll’s. When trouble arrives, it’s in the form of a foot flush with the ground. Barbie’s perpetually lifted heels have suddenly dropped, and that’s how everyone knows something’s amiss.
