I would have never discovered Laura Gilbert, let alone would ever have become friends with her, if it weren’t for her Harley Quinn Suicide Squad cosplay. I saw her on Instagram, and from there, I became a fan, and from there, a friendship blossomed. And that wasn’t the only thing that happened because of that cosplay. Laura also ended up amassing a huge online following, got to appear at multiple conventions, got to travel halfway around the world more than once, got to meet people she was a fan of, got to do ads for PlayStation and KFC among others … it’s honestly insane to think how much her life changed the moment she laced up those black and white heel boots for the first time. Once someone went, “OMG, she looks just like Margot Robbie!”, it was like a domino effect took place.
But believe it or not, Laura and Margot had never met until last Friday at the Barbie movie fan event in Sydney, Australia. Seeing Laura and Margot interact with each other brought a huge smile to my face. I know from first hand experience how it feels to meet someone you’ve been a huge fan of for years. It’s a great feeling. I am so glad that Laura and Margot Robbie finally got to speak to each other face-to-face. This was a moment years in the making, and it went even better than expected.
Swipe to see pics and video of Laura and Margot’s meeting. You can also check out Laura’s YouTube channel to watch her vlog from that day if you want! It’s a great video! ❤️ https://youtu.be/OCBW-B1BESE
