Margot Robbie appeared on the red carpet in London wearing a custom gown by Dilara Findikoglu at the much-anticipated premiere of Wuthering Heights. The event marked a key moment on the film’s UK press tour ahead of its release in Irish and UK cinemas on 13 February, where Robbie drew attention with a sheer corseted Gothic dress featuring moss green floral seams and a matching choker, showcasing a signature British designer.
Robbie’s Fashion Choices Reflect Her Method Approach to Dressing
This ensemble adds to Robbie’s growing list of distinctive fashion statements made during the London leg of the film’s promotion. Earlier in the week, she stepped out in a vintage look from John Galliano’s 1992 spring ready-to-wear collection, demonstrating her fondness for archival pieces. At 35, Robbie has shown a clear dedication to method dressing, as seen previously during her extensive Barbie press tour, where she meticulously recreated some of the doll’s most iconic outfits, including the 1960s Enchanted Evening Barbie and the glittering black Solo in the Spotlight Barbie.
Wuthering Heights Premiere in Los Angeles Featured a Historic Jewelry Piece
At the film’s earlier world premiere in Los Angeles, Robbie wore an ombre corseted gown by Schiaparelli, paired with a remarkable, historic necklace. The heart-shaped pendant was part of Hollywood legend Dame Elizabeth Taylor’s estate, identified by Taylor as the Taj Mahal diamond Cartier necklace, one of her most treasured jewels. The necklace, presented by Taylor’s husband Richard Burton on her 40th birthday in 1972, traces its origins to 16th-century India, adding a layer of cinematic and historical significance to Robbie’s ensemble.
Exclusive Chanel Custom Gown for Paris Premiere
Robbie’s fashion highlights extended beyond London and Los Angeles, with her look for the Paris premiere featuring a custom velvet Chanel gown crafted by Matthieu Blazy. Speaking to Vogue, Robbie said,
“It is such an honour to wear this look designed by Matthieu,”
and added,
“It’s the first Chanel red carpet look I’ve worn designed by him, and I couldn’t think of a more special occasion than for Wuthering Heights, a project that is so special to me.”
The burgundy silk, velvet, and faille dress included an ivory silk faille underskirt, with delicate feathers and silk petals enhancing the intricate detailing. The look was accessorized with over 100 carats of jewels by Lorraine Schwartz.
Other Star Appearances at the London Premiere
The London premiere spotlighted several other notable figures alongside Robbie. Director Emerald Fennell wore a bold red corseted gown by Vivienne Westwood, complemented by a rare black opal, diamond, and platinum necklace loaned by Sotheby’s. Like Robbie’s historical jewelry moment in LA, Fennell’s Cartier London necklace, crafted in 1937, was making its first public appearance in more than 70 years and is valued between £700,000 and £1 million.
Cast Members Embrace Gothic and Elegant Styles on the Red Carpet
Jacob Elordi, who portrays Heathcliff in the film, opted for a muted slate grey suit with a leather tie and a double-breasted overcoat, maintaining a classic but understated presence. Charli XCX, the film’s composer, followed with a floor-length, off-the-shoulder pink tulle and lace dress by London-based designer Erdem, embracing a Gothic-inspired glamour. Irish actress Alison Olivier, portraying Isabella Linton, Edgar’s younger sister, wore a silk and lace column gown adorned with embellished bows, embracing the dusty pink tones trending for spring and summer 2026. Olivier was also seen carrying a small Pomeranian dog under her arm, adding a charming detail to her appearance.
Significance of the Premiere and Fashion Statements
The Wuthering Heights London premiere not only celebrated influential performances but also illustrated the role of fashion in setting the tone for a film’s cultural impact. Through historic jewelry pieces tied to Hollywood legends and carefully selected couture gowns, the event underscored the gravity and artistic weight behind this adaptation. Margot Robbie’s choice of designers and daring looks, from Dilara Findikoglu to Chanel and Schiaparelli, reflects her depth of character immersion and her status as a fashion icon on the international stage. The premiere’s blend of cinematic heritage and contemporary style speaks to a wider trend of film promotion becoming an artistic showcase, while raising anticipation for the film’s release.
