Australian actress Margot Robbie has confirmed her dramatic new hairstyle is indeed real, not a wig, as she stepped out in Los Angeles this week still sporting the chic chin-length bob. The 35-year-old star, who first revealed the chop at the Chanel show during Paris Fashion Week last week, turned heads at the Ready Or Not 2: Here I Come 2 screening held at AMC The Grove 14 on Tuesday.
Stylish Premiere Appearance
Margot looked incredible in a 90s-inspired black strapless minidress that perfectly complemented her fresh new look. She accessorised with a brown leather bomber jacket slung casually over one shoulder and completed her ensemble with sleek black heeled boots. Her makeup appeared flawless, demonstrating her signature polished red-carpet style.
Posing With Pregnant Co-Star
For photographs, Margot slipped her jacket on and posed alongside her heavily pregnant friend and fellow Australian actress Samara Weaving. The 34-year-old, who is expecting her first child, showed off her baby bump in a stylish green dress featuring a strategic cut-out section on the tummy. The two actresses previously starred together in the 2022 film Babylon, and their similar appearances have often caused people to struggle telling them apart.
Film Details and Connections
The movie premiere featured Ready Or Not 2, which tells the story of Grace MacCaullay (played by Samara Weaving) who, after surviving one deadly game, must now outrun four rival families competing for a powerful throne alongside her sister Faith. The high-stakes premise promises "the winner takes all" in this anticipated sequel.
Recent Professional Success
Margot's appearance comes fresh from her extensive promotional tour for Wuthering Heights, the gothic romance film in which she stars opposite Jacob Elordi. The film has proven to be a significant box office surprise, surging past $150 million worldwide within just two weekends of its release.
According to industry reports from Deadline, the Warner Bros. and MRC release added $14.2 million domestically during its latest weekend, while Sony Pictures Animation's GOAT narrowly edged out the top North American spot with $17 million. However, Wuthering Heights dominated overseas markets, pulling in an impressive $26.3 million from 76 international territories.
Box Office Achievement
With a reported production budget of $80 million, the R-rated romantic drama has now grossed $151.7 million globally, substantially outperforming expectations and establishing itself as one of the year's rare adult-skewing theatrical hits. Like the classic Emily Brontë novel that inspired it, the film is "set against the backdrop of the Yorkshire moors" and follows the "intense and destructive relationship between Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw," according to official descriptions.
Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi portray the iconic lovers Catherine and Heathcliff in this highly-anticipated romance drama, which was produced by Robbie herself through her production company LuckyChap Entertainment. The film's success marks another professional triumph for the Australian actress, who continues to balance acting roles with her growing behind-the-scenes production work.
