At the opening of the trailer for the live-action Barbie movie, which will be released on July 21, actress Margot Robbie can be seen getting off her high heels with the position of her feet still in the shape of a rainbow, just like a real Barbie doll. This configuration of the feet drives TikTok users crazy, but orthopedists warn of the dangers.
The foot reconstruction challenge led users to share videos of themselves tiptoeing and arching their feet.

Dr. Judy Schoenhouse of Florida Foot Medical Center warns of risks and injuries. "If someone tries this pose once or twice, they probably won't have anything happen. But over time there are some risks. The ankle is unstable in this position and this can lead to sprains and tearing of the ligaments of the feet, which can usually be found in women who walk in high heels for a long time."

As Ruby herself revealed, the actual filming was done when she used a dance bar to steady herself during filming.
The film's writer and director, Greta Gerwig, shared in one interview that at first they thought of using a video effect to create the famous position of Barbie's feet, but gave up on the idea. So, although Ruby did make the scene herself, those trying to participate in the challenge are advised to follow her lead and use some support.
