Margot Robbie goes sheer at Wuthering Heights premiere in London

Margot Robbie stepped out in a Dilara Findikoglu custom gown at the London premiere for the highly anticipated Wuthering Heights.

Coming to UK cinemas on February 13, Robbie celebrated in a sheer corseted Gothic gown with moss green, blooming seams and a matching choker. It is a British label that she has worn since arriving in London for the film’s press tour.

It isn’t the only designer Robbie has debuted in London. She also dove into the fashion archives for a photocall on Wednesday, stepping out in a look pulled from John Galliano’s 1992 spring ready-to-wear collection.

It’s clear that Robbie, 35, has a penchant for method dressing. Her whirlwind Barbie press tour saw her channel the doll’s most famous looks in a series of meticulously recreated outfits, from her 1960s “Enchanted Evening” Barbie to her shimmering black “Solo in the Spotlight” Barbie.

At the Wuthering Heights world premiere in Los Angeles, Robbie wore an ombre corseted Schiaparelli gown alongside a piece of Hollywood history.

The dress was paired with a large, heart-shaped pendant, which belongs to the estate of Hollywood star Dame Elizabeth Taylor, who confirmed this as one of the most significant pieces in her jewellery collection: her Taj Mahal diamond Cartier necklace.

The necklace was given to Taylor on her 40th birthday in 1972 by her husband Richard Burton. The necklace itself, however, dates back to 16th century India.

Robbie’s opening look, however, was certainly not the only showstopper. For the Paris premiere, Robbie wore a custom draped velvet Chanel look designed by Matthieu Blazy.

“It is such an honour to wear this look designed by Matthieu,” Robbie told Vogue. “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 corseted dress was designed in a burgundy silk, velvet and faille, with an ivory silk faille under-skirt and was adorned with intricate feathers and silk petals, accessorised with more than 100 carats of jewels by Lorraine Schwartz.

Robbie wasn’t the only star turning heads on the London red carpet. Director Emerald Fennell wore a bold red corseted dress by Vivienne Westwood and a striking black opal, diamond and platinum necklace lent to her by Sotheby’s.

Similarly to Robbie’s statement in LA, this is the first time that Fennell’s necklace, which was made by Cartier London in 1937, has been worn in public in more than 70 years and is estimated at £700,000-£1 million.

Jacob Elordi, 28, who plays Heathcliff in the film, stepped out in a monochromatic, slate grey suit with a leather tie and a double breasted overcoat.

Charli XCX, 33, who wrote the score for the film, followed suit in Gothic glamour wearing a floor-length veil and off the shoulder pink tulle and lace dress by London-based designer Erdem.

Alison Olivier, who plays Edgar’s younger sister Isabella Linton, also leant into dusty pink – a big colour on spring/summer 2026’s runways – wearing a silk and lace column dress with embellished bows adorning the bodice.

Her accessory was unorthodox for the red carpet, as she carried a small Pomeranian under her arm.
