There is a woman who needs our help. Fans have been calling for her “emancipation”. They are concerned she’s being “held hostage”. Stressing that she must be “set free” as soon as possible. But the thing she must be liberated from is somewhat unconventional. It’s not a person. It’s not some sort of corrupt conservatorship, or a dingy cell. The captor in question is, in fact, a luxury fashion brand. Its victim? Margot Robbie.
For months now, fashionistas and Robbie fans have been using the aforementioned language of entrapment – a little too seriously, actually – to describe her ongoing partnership with Chanel. The general consensus among them is that Robbie has been shackled by the French label’s chains since she became one of its brand ambassadors in 2018. Namely, that she’s been forced into a series of designs she doesn’t actually like.
