The star-studded Wuthering Heights world premiere in Los Angeles on Wednesday night witnessed a spectacular display of fashion and friendship, as model Cara Delevingne made a striking appearance to support her close confidante, actress Margot Robbie.
Delevingne's Dazzling Ensemble
The 33-year-old model commanded attention in a breathtaking purple corset dress that artfully accentuated her figure. The busty garment seamlessly transitioned into a shimmering sequin skirt, creating a dramatic silhouette perfect for the red carpet event. Delevingne elevated the look with a matching choker necklace and added an extra layer of glamour with long, sparkling gloves that caught the light with every movement.
Her brunette tresses were elegantly pulled back into an updo, allowing the vintage-style earrings to take centre stage. Towering heels completed the ensemble, giving the model additional height and poise as she navigated the premiere festivities at the iconic TCL Chinese Theatre.
Robbie's Iconic Jewelry Moment
Meanwhile, the evening's honouree, Margot Robbie, created her own fashion moment by wearing one of Elizabeth Taylor's most legendary jewelry pieces. The Oscar-nominated actress, who plays Catherine Earnshaw in director Emerald Fennell's R-rated adaptation of Emily Brontë's classic novel, adorned herself with Taylor's Taj Mahal diamond necklace, valued at an astonishing $8 million.
The heart-shaped pendant, famously gifted to Taylor by her fifth husband Richard Burton fifty-four years ago for her fortieth birthday, rested high on Robbie's neck with the gold chain cascading down her back. This extraordinary piece from the late Hollywood icon's collection complemented Robbie's couture Schiaparelli gown perfectly, which featured a strapless nude illusion bodice adorned with intricate black lace detailing.
On-Screen Chemistry and Off-Screen Bonds
Robbie's on-screen chemistry with co-star Jacob Elordi was palpable throughout the evening, with the pair sending fans into a frenzy by holding hands during the star-studded event. Elordi, who portrays the brooding Heathcliff in the film, towered over Robbie in a sophisticated all-black ensemble consisting of a boxy blazer, button-up shirt, and high-waisted trousers.
The friendship between Delevingne and Robbie, which began on the set of the 2016 film Suicide Squad, remains as strong as ever, with both women having previously described each other as "best friends." Their enduring bond was evident as Delevingne made a special appearance to support Robbie's latest cinematic venture.
Production Details and Personal Lives
Wuthering Heights represents a significant project for Robbie beyond her acting role, as she produced the film through LuckyChap Entertainment, the production company she co-founded with her husband, film producer Tom Ackerley. Ackerley stood proudly beside his wife at the premiere in a classic black tuxedo, while Elordi arrived with his girlfriend, Olivia Jade Giannulli.
The film's director, Emerald Fennell, graced the red carpet in a plunging black gown, while Charli XCX, who created an original soundtrack for the production, made a memorable entrance in a glimmering gold corset gown.
Symbolic Gifts and Thematic Elements
Earlier in the week, Robbie raised eyebrows by gifting Elordi a matching signet ring featuring an image of two skeletons embracing and the poignant inscription: "Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same." Both rings bear the initials of their characters, Cathy and Heathcliff, along with the dates "1847-2026" - referencing the publication year of Brontë's novel and the release year of this new adaptation.
In recent interviews, Robbie has spoken candidly about developing a "codependent" working relationship with Elordi, while the actor has admitted to a "mutual obsession" between them during filming. Their on-screen chemistry translates to numerous passionate scenes, with both stars confirming there's "a lot of kissing" throughout the property in this adaptation, a significant departure from the original novel where the characters "never even really kissed."
Wuthering Heights is scheduled for theatrical release on February 13, just before Valentine's Day, promising audiences a passionate and dramatic interpretation of the classic literary romance set against the haunting backdrop of the Yorkshire moors.
