At a photocall event held on Wednesday in Los Angeles, the Australian actress made headlines with a daring fashion statement, further intensifying excitement for the film’s release on February 13.
Robbie’s ensemble featured a striking red snakeskin-print leather corset paired with a mini skirt that tapered at the front and flared dramatically at the back. Designed by Dilara Findikoglu, the look was completed with a jacket showcasing ribbon embellishments and pronounced shoulders. To complement the outfit, she wore red pointed heels and a thin choker necklace adorned with a sparkling pendant. Her blonde hair was styled in a half-up, half-down fashion, with gentle curls framing her face, paired with luminous makeup emphasizing deep blush and a dark pink lip. Notably, Margot appeared to wear the signet ring she gifted co-star Jacob Elordi, bearing a depiction of two skulls embracing alongside the iconic Brontë quote:
“Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.”

Wuthering Heights Fashion Draws Inspiration from 19th-Century Style with a Modern Edge
The outfits Margot Robbie has chosen for the Wuthering Heights press tour reflect a contemporary interpretation of 1800s fashion, incorporating bold, avant-garde elements. Earlier, she appeared in a white feathered mini dress designed by Victoria Beckham, an homage to a memorable passage from the original Brontë novel. Margot’s stylist, Andrew Mukamal, shared the literary inspiration on Instagram, quoting:
“Tossing about, she increased her feverish bewilderment to madness, and tore the pillow with her teeth… she seemed to find childish diversion in pulling the feathers from the rents she had just made, and ranging them on the sheet according to their different species,”
connecting the look directly to the novel’s emotional intensity.
Alexander McQueen and Collaborations Highlight Press Tour Style
Margot further showcased an intricate fashion sense during the tour by wearing a black lace mini dress by Alexander McQueen on her appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!. Her hair was styled in crimped waves to enhance the dramatic effect of the outfit. Her ongoing collaboration with Andrew Mukamal began during the promotional activities for her 2023 film Barbie, resulting in highly praised looks. The partnership culminated in the creation of a fashion lookbook titled Barbie: The World Tour, which Mukamal described to Vogue as inspired by a collection of sketches and fabric samples gathered during their fittings:
“I had the idea when I was in one of the fittings with Margot,”
he stated.
“I was collecting all these sketches and fabric swatches from designers, and I was like, ‘Wow, all of this would make the most beautiful coffee-table book.’”
Margot added,
“We still had a bunch of looks that didn’t get their moment,”
followed by,
“We were like, ‘Oh, that’s so sad.’ But then Andrew found a way for them to have their moment.”
