The newBarbiemovie is pink all over, butMargot Robbiebrought an extra appreciation for the bright color on set.
While speaking with PEOPLE for itsnewBarbiespecial issue,out now,Ryan Goslingrevealed that his costar Robbie, 33 — who also served as a producer on the project — created a mandatory pink dress code for everyone on set one day of every week.
“Margot had this pink day once a week, where everyone had to wear something pink. And if you didn’t, you were fined,” Gosling, 42, says of the weekly celebration. “She would go around collecting the fines, and she would donate it to a charity.”
“What was really special was just how excited the male crew members were. At the end of the film, they all got together and, with their own money, made pink crew shirts with rainbow fringe,” he adds.
“It was this opportunity for them to show their respect and admiration for what Margot and [director] Greta [Gerwig] were creating,” Gosling tells PEOPLE. “It was almost like that scene at the end ofDead Poets Society, where they all get on their desk and say, ‘O captain! My captain!’ "
