Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, two accomplished Australian actors, have appeared together on two striking covers for Vogue Australia’s February edition, which will be available from Monday, 2 February. Capturing intense chemistry, the pair, both Queensland-born, showcase their glamour in bold, fashion-forward ensembles that highlight the magazine’s celebration of local talent on an international stage.
Fashion Highlights from the Dual Cover Shoot
The first cover captures Robbie, 35, and Elordi, 28, in a passionate embrace, with Jacob staring intently at his co-star. Margot stuns in an ornate black and gold Versace bralette paired with matching shorts, complemented by earrings from the Australian designer brand Paspaley. Jacob counters her allure in a simple black tank top and Versace jeans, adorned with Cartier earrings, a necklace, and a ring.
The alternate cover presents a more relaxed moment, showing them seated on a couch with arms entwined. Here, Margot wears a sleek black Chanel bralette alongside a sheer, patterned skirt, while Jacob opts for a cozy Bottega Veneta jacket over a white tank top, emphasizing his refined style.
Additional Scenes Reflect Their On-Set Chemistry
Beyond the covers, several images from the Vogue shoot showcase the actors in varied settings. One photo places them in a kitchen, where Margot sports a black bralette beneath loose overalls and Jacob complements her look in an ivory Tom Ford suit. Another frame sees Margot seated gracefully on a classic Chevy Impala convertible, glowing in a fitted Hermès mini dress paired with a standout Paspaley necklace. Jacob completes the polished look in a black Bottega Veneta jacket and matching trousers with a crisp white shirt, reinforcing the duo’s sartorial synergy.
From Sunshine State Beginnings to Hollywood Stardom
During the accompanying interview, Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi reflected on their shared Queensland origins and journeys to international fame. Margot remarked on the irony of two Queenslanders leading in the film adaptation of Emily Brontë’s renowned gothic novel Wuthering Heights, noting,
“I mean, it’s kind of hilarious that two Queenslanders are the lead in this iconic British literary classic,”
highlighting their unexpected presence in such a quintessentially British story.
She added,
“Because, we’re not even from Sydney, you know? Everyone in Australia’s probably like, These couple of bogans.”
Margot admitted that the geographical distance to Hollywood initially seemed daunting, recalling,
“I remember thinking it was so far away and so impossible to be from the Gold Coast and make it in Hollywood.”
She acknowledged that seeing others from Queensland succeed might have encouraged her to pursue acting sooner.
Jacob shared his own early aspirations, joking about his youthful efforts to catch a break,
“I remember there was a period where I was thinking if I just hang out around Movie World, maybe I’ll get cast,”
and added,
“Maybe someone from the studios would walk past, having a cigarette.”
Upcoming Wuthering Heights Film and Cultural Impact
The Vogue feature coincides with the actors’ eagerly anticipated roles in the latest adaptation of Wuthering Heights, a story entrenched in British literary history but reimagined through the talents of these Queensland-born stars. Their joint presence in Vogue Australia not only spotlights their personal achievements but underscores the growing influence of Australian actors on the global entertainment industry. The shoot’s fashion choices from designers like Versace, Bottega Veneta, Chanel, and Hermès further emphasize a merging of high fashion with cinematic storytelling.
The collaboration and their candid reflections offer a glimpse into the pathways from regional Australia to international acclaim, while fueling excitement for their upcoming projects. As both continue to build their careers on the world stage, their Vogue Australia covers serve as a testament to their evolving artistic impact and connection to their roots.
