Margot Robbie’s Wuthering Heights Press Style Is the Stuff of Fashion Dreams
Where Margot Robbie goes, method dressing follows. The actor, building on the hyper-stylized glamour of Barbie, has now reimagined it for a very different muse: Catherine Earnshaw. At each stop of the Wuthering Heights press tour, Robbie has focused on fusing period-inspired silhouettes with modern couture, channeling the brooding intensity and dark romance of her character without going overly moor-ish.
Robbie has re-teamed with her long-time stylist Andrew Mukamal, the mastermind behind all those Barbie moments, for her latest press tour. Mukamal has been especially drawn to quotes from Emily Brontë’s 1847 novel; for example, he used a passage about a fit of madness to inform two feathered looks, another about being hugged by a snake to inspire a python dress. “He’s a history major, he really enjoys delving deep,” Robbie said of Mukamal. “He came to set while we were shooting, he spent time with Jacqueline [Durran] our costume designer, which normally doesn’t happen.”
Here, take in all of Margot Robbie’s Wuthering Heights press fashion.
Robbie revitalized the skirt-over-pants trend in an outfit straight from the fashion history books. She wore a vintage John Galliano fringe skirt, flared dress pants, and a brocade top from the designer’s spring 1997 show.
For a Q&A in London, Robbie had another archival moment in a vintage Vivienne Westwood corset top paired with a “mini-crini” from the brand’s fall 1988 runway collection.
At the Wuthering Heights London premiere, Robbie paid homage to the Brontë family by wearing a replica of a bracelet made from Emily and Ann Brontë’s hair. She paired the sentimental jewelry piece with a naked Dilara Findikoglu dress featuring strips of braided hair.
For the London photo call, Robbie slipped into a piece of runway history. She wore a kitschy look from John Galliano’s spring 1992 show, originally modeled by Helena Christensen, paired with Jacques Marie Mage glasses and Manolo Blahnik heels.
Following the film’s Paris premiere, Robbie slipped into this custom Thom Browne number. It featured a pleated peplum, lace accents, and a detachable skirt.
Robbie turned to Chanel’s Matthieu Blazy for this custom stunner—a draped burgundy ball gown with an ivory underlayer—at the Paris premiere.
While this custom Schiaparelli dress would have stolen the shown on any other occasion, it was Robbie’s jewelry choices that did all the talking at the L.A. premiere. She wore the Taj Mahal diamond, an $8.8 million bijoux once gifted to Elizabeth Taylor by Richard Burton. (For added poignancy, Burton played Heathcliff in Daniel Petrie’s 1958 Wuthering Heights adaptation).
Mukamal referenced the line, “I’d rather be hugged by a snake,” when sharing his inspiration behind this python print corset mini look from Dilara Findikoglu. She paired the mini with ombré high heels from Manolo Blahnik and dreamy Jessica McCormack jewels.
While doing in L.A., Robbie slipped into a pair of feathered ensembles by Victoria Beckham. The first, a fitted micro dress, is from Beckham’s spring 2026 collection.
She then traded her mini dress for this feathered bustier and low-slung trousers. The feathered elements appear to reference a famous Brontë line: “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.”
Arriving to the set of Jimmy Kimmel Live, Robbie looked straight out of a romance novel in this lace McQueen number, Jessica McCormack diamond earrings, and natural, cascading curls.
Robbie started off her press tour in style, wearing a Victorian-esque mini dress by Roberto Cavalli, painstakingly-high pumps, and a bejeweled choker necklace.
