The Barbie universe—or Barbieverse, if you will—is expanding with a new book. While prospects of a sequel or spin-off are low, minds behind the popular film have just announced the next best thing: a fashion coffee table tome.

Given that Margot Robbie‘s fabulously pink outfits as the beloved doll were a major part of the movie and its surrounding promotion, it only makes sense that they are documented in a tome. On Monday, Mattel and Rizzoli, a major publishing company, announced Barbie: The World Tour, featuring “all the glamour and high style of the most popular doll in the world.” The tome will commemorate all the bespoke and thoughtfully-made looks styled by Andrew Mukamal for Robbie, which took over the internet during the press tour. “This book is the culmination of tens of thousands of hours of work by some of the most talented and creative visionaries and designers on Earth,” Mukamal said in a statement about the book. “Margot and I felt compelled to share this with the world. We hope you love it as much as we do.”
The cover of the book features Margot Robbie as Barbie dressed in her signature pink Chanel tweed set and laid down as if in a doll box, with all of her accessories from the fashion house carefully placed around her. Barbie: The World Tour will be aptly published on March 8, also known as International Women’s Day, and feature a foreword by Edward Enninful, an introduction by Margaret Zhang, and an afterword by Barbie writer-director Greta Gerwig. Photography by Craig McDean, and text from Robbie and Mukamal, along with all designers who created the Barbie looks—including Chanel’s Virginie Viard, Donatella Versace, Balmain’s Olivier Rousteing, former Moschino creative director Jeremy Scott—will also be a part of the book.
