Margot Robbie commanded the spotlight on Thursday night as she led the glamorous arrivals at the Sydney premiere of her new film, Wuthering Heights, held at the historic State Theatre. The Australian actress, aged 35, appeared radiant in a flowing off-shoulder ivory gown that perfectly blended classic elegance with modern flair.
A Gothic-Inspired Ensemble
The gown featured a structured, boned corset bodice that cinched her silhouette, creating a striking hourglass shape. She added a romantic touch with sheer tulle sleeves and a mermaid-style skirt layered with delicate tulle, which moved gracefully with each step—a subtle nod to the gothic romance of the classic tale. Her golden blonde hair was styled in effortless, tousled waves swept back from her face, complemented by fresh, luminous makeup that highlighted her natural beauty. A delicate choker necklace completed the look, offering an understated yet elegant finishing touch.
Co-Star Jacob Elordi's Classic Style
Meanwhile, Margot's Australian co-star Jacob Elordi, 28, cut a striking figure in a traditional navy suit paired with white dress shoes. The star looked neat and trim, with his tailored jacket and crisp shirt exuding an air of classic elegance. With his hair styled simply and a confident presence, Jacob complemented Margot perfectly, presenting a stylish and understated counterpart to her dramatic gothic-inspired gown.
Hailey Bieber's Daring Appearance
Also turning heads at the exclusive event was US model Hailey Bieber, 29, who opted for a daring floor-length black lace gown worn braless. The sheer, floral lace dress featured flared sleeves, a deep V-neckline, and a fitted silhouette, giving her a modern yet gothic-inspired edge. She completed the look with tousled brunette waves and strappy black heels, bringing understated glamour to the literary-themed premiere.
Homecoming and Film Details
Margot looked happy to be back on home soil as she touched down in Australia on Thursday morning with her co-star Jacob, ahead of the Aussie premiere. She flashed her kilowatt smile while walking through Sydney Airport flanked by security guards. With the Australian premiere taking place that evening at the State Theatre in Sydney, the pair were cutting it fine with their morning arrival.
The new version of Wuthering Heights will see Margot and Jacob star as the tragic lovers Heathcliff and Catherine, and it is set to hit cinemas on February 13, just in time for Valentine's Day. During the film's press tour, the stars haven't shied away from showing off their chemistry on the red carpet.
On-Set Chemistry and Fan Reactions
In fact, it has led to some complaints from fans that the duo have taken inspiration from Sydney Sweeney's 'PR playbook,' after she put on a similarly cosy display with co-star Glen Powell in 2023 to promote their film Anyone But You. Jacob himself recently raised eyebrows during a press interview when he declared the pair had a 'mutual obsession' while filming.
Speaking to Fandango, with Margot sitting nearby, he said he made sure he was never more than 10 metres away from the Barbie actress on set. 'If you have the opportunity to share a film set with Margot, you're going to make sure you're within five to ten metres at all times,' he said. 'Watching how she drinks tea, how she eats her food. When is it going to slip? It never comes undone.'
