The most recent trailer for Greta Gerwig's Barbie movie has everybody talking.
But while most are gushing about the star studded cast, some fans have turned their focus towards the feet of one particular cast member.
Margot Robbie plays the starring role of Barbie, but in the latest trailer, she's first shown from the calf down.

The camera shows the viewers Robbie's legs as Barbie struts across the screen in her heels, only to perfectly step out of them, showing off her physics-defying insteps.
This shot alone was enough to send Twitter into a meltdown, with many vowing they would pay for a cinema ticket just to see Robbie's tootsies in action.
That admittedly sounds very strange... and it probably is.
But regardless, many fans took to social media to gush about the Birds Of Prey star's feet.
One user tweeted: "The first shot of the Barbie The Movie trailer is a shot of Margot Robbie's feet. They know there's a massive group of guys that will pay to see this in IMAX."
While another remarked: "I'm at the point where I think I could pick out Margot Robbie's feet in a lineup."
An excited fan tweeted: "Margot Robbie's feet really about to make me buy a ticket to Barbie," whilst another admirer gushed: "CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW PRETTY MARGOT ROBBIE'S FEET ARE?"
Oddly enough, this isn't the first time that Robbie has ditched socks and showed off her...toes.
Some users shared screenshots of Robbie baring her bare feet in other films, particularly Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.
The 2019 movie was directed by Quentin Tarantino, who has been accused by film fans of having a foot fetish, as many of his female characters showed off their plates of meat in close up shots.
When asked to address this accusation in 2021, the Pulp Fiction director said: "There’s a lot of feet in a lot of good directors’ movies.
"Before me, the person foot fetishism was defined by was Luis Buñuel, another film director. And Hitchcock was accused of it and Sofia Coppola has been accused of it."
Whether or not Greta Gerwig will join that list of directors after Barbie comes out, remains to be seen.
But there is apparently no doubt that people who like feet are avid cinema goers.
And if that's anything to go by, Barbie could very well be a smash hit.
Take note, Hollywood. Sex doesn't sell - feet do. Apparently...
