Margot Robbie channeled the aesthetic qualities and visual language of “Wuthering Heights” in a custom look by Schiaparelli for the film’s Los Angeles premiere on Wednesday night.
The Oscar-nominated actress evoked romance, passion and drama, as the French luxury fashion house intended with the custom look. The bustier gown, by couturier and Schiaparelli artist director Daniel Roseberry, was designed with a corset top in a nude jersey and black chantilly lace overlay adorned with gold metal eyelets at the back, per Schiaparelli.

The dress also featured cascading voluminous tiers of velvet that transitioned to satin, with a red to black fumato effect. “If we were to make ‘Wuthering Heights’ into a dress what would it look like?” Robbie told Variety of the garment on the red carpet.
“It was this idea of [the dress] soaking up the ground, which we knew was going to be red carpet, or [in this case] red lacquered floor and having it kind of seep up into the dress, and then the lace and the dark decay of the Wuthering Heights,” the actress and producer said. Robbie also teased that her promotional tour looks would “evolve” over the next few weeks of press and continue to channel the film.

As for jewelry, Robbie accessorized with a Fred Leighton 19th century ruby and diamond ring, along with a statement heart pendant Taj Mahal diamond necklace that previously belong to Elizabeth Taylor and was worn on a gold chain by Cartier. Robbie’s look was curated by stylist Andrew Mukamal.
Method dressing is not a new tact that Robbie’s employed as part of a film’s promotional tour. During the press run for “Barbie” in 2023, Robbie collaborated with Mukamal on several looks inspired by the famous doll. Among the designer pieces Robbie wore, a Vivienne Westwood-designed gown based on the 1960 “Enchanted Evening” Barbie was featured on the red carpet at the London premiere of the box office juggernaut.
