Margot Robbie has launched her promotional campaign for the upcoming film adaptation of Emily Brontë’s classic novel Wuthering Heights with a striking ensemble that blends gothic elegance and modern boldness. The actress, known for her immersive approach to red-carpet styling, arrived at a late-night talk show appearance in a sheer lace dress from Alexander McQueen’s spring 2026 collection, setting a provocative tone for the tour.
Dress Details and Styling Choices
The outfit featured a high-low silhouette with a ruffled neckline, long sleeves, and a distressed hemline, creating a diaphanous effect that revealed a black thong underneath. Robbie complemented the look with vintage rosary heels from the same designer and pear-shaped diamond hoop earrings. The dress’s textured floral motifs and raw edges evoked the wild, untamed moors central to the story, while its transparency pushed fashion boundaries into risqué territory.
Earlier that day, Robbie opted for a velvet-trimmed minidress by Roberto Cavalli, accented with bell sleeves and paired with high Christian Louboutin heels. She accessorized with a statement choker featuring a ruby pendant surrounded by pearls and diamonds, plus matching jewelry pieces. Her crimped blonde hair added a windswept, heroine-like vibe, enhancing the period-inspired aesthetic.
Method Dressing in Action
Robbie’s promotional wardrobe draws from her past successes, such as the pink-themed outfits during the 2023 Barbie tour. This time, she channels Catherine Earnshaw, the complex protagonist she portrays opposite Jacob Elordi’s Heathcliff. Directed by Emerald Fennell, the film reimagines the 1847 tale with contemporary twists, including latex elements and a Charli XCX soundtrack, set for theatrical release on February 13, 2026.
Director’s Insights on Casting
Fennell has described Robbie as ideal for the role, noting her ‘otherworldly power’ and ability to embody a character who could ‘get away with anything.’ The director called Catherine a ‘sadist’ who enjoys provocation, praising Robbie’s commanding presence that aligns with the story’s intense emotions.
As the press tour continues, Robbie’s fashion choices promise to keep audiences engaged, merging literary heritage with high-fashion drama.
