Margot Robbie may be used to fashion praise, but this time the reaction was far from unanimous. The 35-year-old actress appeared at a Los Angeles event for the film Wuthering Heights wearing a look that instantly split opinion and had fans calling it the strangest outfit of her entire career.
The Hollywood crowd gathered for the presentation of the new screen adaptation of Emily Brontë’s iconic novel, and Robbie made sure all eyes landed on her the moment she stepped onto the photo call. She chose a bold red corset-style mini inspired by medieval silhouettes, reimagined with a modern edge. The lace-up design hugged her figure tightly and left her long legs fully on display.
The daring look was completed with matching high-heeled pumps that visually lengthened her silhouette even further. Every element of the outfit leaned into drama, confidence, and provocation — and it clearly worked, judging by the immediate buzz online.
The outfit was styled by Robbie’s longtime fashion collaborator Andrew Mukamal. She accessorized with a red necklace featuring a pendant, a ruby ring, and a pinky signet ring gifted to her by her Wuthering Heights co-star Jacob Elordi, who appeared alongside her at the event. Many social media users were quick to declare that the look felt completely unexpected for Robbie, with some labeling it her most controversial fashion moment to date.
Robbie’s hair was styled in soft, romantic waves, loosely framing her face, while her makeup followed a strict monochrome theme. Glowing blush and glossy red lips echoed the intensity of the outfit, creating a cohesive and deliberate visual statement.
On the red carpet, the actress posed closely with Elordi, who plays Heathcliff in the film. He opted for a more restrained look, wearing a dark top layered with a cropped blazer, light trousers, and classic loafers, offering a sharp contrast to Robbie’s bold styling.
The pair were also photographed with Charli XCX, who is set to release an album of original songs created for Wuthering Heights, including the official soundtrack. She arrived in a sheer, intricately detailed outfit featuring lace sleeves and floral embroidery, paired with dark heels.
Other cast members in attendance included Hong Chau and Alison Oliver, rounding out a high-profile ensemble for the evening.
Later, the cast reunited for a separate premiere at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles. For that appearance, Robbie switched into a dramatic off-the-shoulder gown with a heart-shaped neckline and a full-length velvet skirt in red and black tones. Her hair was swept into a sleek bun, and her makeup leaned luminous and refined.
What truly stole attention that night, however, was a legendary diamond necklace once owned by Elizabeth Taylor. The historic heart-shaped pendant, gifted decades ago by Richard Burton, overshadowed even Robbie’s couture look and added a layer of old-Hollywood grandeur to the event.
Whether praised or questioned, one thing was clear: Margot Robbie succeeded in doing what few can — turning a single outfit into a full-blown fashion conversation.
