Margot Robbie showcased what many are calling her most audacious and bizarre fashion statement to date during a promotional event for the upcoming film adaptation of Wuthering Heights. The 35-year-old actress appeared alongside her hunky co-star Jacob Elordi at a Los Angeles photocall on Wednesday, opting for a strikingly racy interpretation of medieval attire that captivated onlookers.
A Daring Ensemble with Symbolic Accents
For the high-profile event, Robbie selected a structural beaded bra paired with a snakeskin-print leather corset, creating a bold silhouette reminiscent of historical lingerie. She complemented this with a tiny miniskirt, scarlet red pumps, and a matching choker, crafting a monochromatic red look that was both provocative and meticulously styled.
Most intriguingly, Robbie appeared to wear a matching signet ring, which she reportedly gifted to Elordi, alongside a substantial ruby gemstone on her wedding ring finger. Her blonde hair was elegantly pulled back into a soft, romantic updo with curls framing her face, while her makeup echoed the outfit's red theme with glowing blush and glossy lips.
Star-Studded Cast and Crew Gather
Robbie, who portrays Catherine in the film, was joined by the 28-year-old Elordi, playing Heathcliff, as well as castmates Hong Chau and Alison Oliver. The towering Elordi cut a sharp figure in a well-tailored beige jacket, black top, and white slacks, completed with leather loafers and a shiny watch.
Adding musical star power to the occasion, singer Charli XCX also attended, as she is set to release an album of original songs for the Wuthering Heights soundtrack next month, coinciding with the movie's premiere. XCX dazzled in a semi-sheer ensemble featuring a button-down blouse with lace bell sleeves and a figure-hugging crochet skirt, styled with red-bottom stiletto heels.
Promotional Buzz and On-Screen Chemistry
This Los Angeles stop follows recent promotional activities where Robbie seemed to show support for Victoria Beckham by wearing her designs amid a family feud. The photocall also comes hot on the heels of Robbie's appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, where she giddily discussed the ample kissing scenes with Elordi in director Emerald Fennell's adaptation.
Robbie noted that while the original Emily Brontë novel features no kissing between Catherine and Heathcliff, the film version includes "a lot of kissing" all over the property. She revealed that the Valentine's Day release date was a very intentional choice, suggesting it would make for a fun night out with girlfriends and drinks.
Married to film producer Tom Ackerley and a new mother as of October 2024, Robbie shared that she recently previewed the film with female friends, heightening anticipation for its theatrical debut on February 13.
