Recreate Margot Robbie's Wuthering Heights Waves and Iconic Jewellery Look
Margot Robbie has captivated audiences not only with her performance in the upcoming adaptation of Wuthering Heights but also with her stunning red carpet appearance. At the Los Angeles premiere, the actress, who plays Catherine Earnshaw, dazzled in a £6.4 million necklace once gifted to Elizabeth Taylor by Richard Burton, paired with a striking red-and-black Schiaparelli gown. However, it's her press tour hairstyle—soft, romantic waves—that has fans clamouring for tutorials to copy the look at home.
The Historic £6.4 Million Necklace
The heart-shaped Taj Mahal diamond pendant, set in a Cartier necklace and mounted in jade with a gold, ruby, and diamond chain, carries significant historical and sentimental value. Originally from 16th-century India, it was given to Elizabeth Taylor on her 40th birthday in 1972 and is inscribed with the words "love is everlasting" in Parsee. Richard Burton famously remarked at the time that he would have liked to buy her the Taj Mahal, but it was too costly to transport, joking that the diamond had so many carats it was "almost a turnip." The piece sold for $8.8 million (£6.4 million) in 2011 as part of a sale of Taylor's jewels following her death.
Fans Plead for Hair Tutorials
On social media, fans have flooded the Instagram comments of Margot Robbie's hairstylist, Bryce Scarlett, with requests for a step-by-step guide to achieve her "Wuthering Heights" wavy hair, which has been praised as "perfection." While Scarlett has not disclosed the exact tools and techniques used for the waves, he did reveal two affordable products that helped maintain her elegant low bun at the premiere: the Schwarzkopf Professional BLONDME Bond Repair Sealing Balm (£12.84) and the Schwarzkopf Osis Plus Dust It (£9.99).
Expert Tips for Recreating the Waves
Celebrity hairstylist and Bellissima Ambassador Alicia Dobson has shared her professional advice on how to emulate Margot's modern mermaid waves. "The key to this look is movement without stiffness," Alicia explains. "You want the waves to feel soft, lived-in and romantic, not over-styled." She recommends the Bellissima Beach Wave Curler 2-in-1, which promises to deliver soft, romantic, and effortlessly undone waves with ease. This styler, normally priced at £89.99, is currently available for £39.99 on Amazon or directly from Bellissima, offering a £50 saving.
Affordable Styling Tools for Home Use
For those seeking budget-friendly alternatives, the BaByliss Deep Waves Hair Waver (£34.95) is another excellent option. Praised by reviewers as "easy to use" and capable of creating "gorgeous, effortless waves in just a few minutes," it features ceramic barrel-shaped plates and Ionic technology to reduce static and frizz, leaving hair smoother and shinier. Alternatively, the Gamma+ Rainbow Bubble Curling Wand (£64.55) offers a unique design for tighter, smoother curls with more volume at the roots, though it may be better suited for those with longer hair or more styling experience.
Whether inspired by Margot Robbie's historic jewellery or her coveted hairstyle, fans now have the tools and tips to bring a touch of Old Hollywood glamour into their everyday looks.
