Margot Robbie made a dazzling comeback to the red carpet on August 20 in Los Angeles, captivating fans with her bold style. This appearance marked her first public outing since welcoming her son last year with husband and producing partner Tom Ackerley, showcasing the actress’s vibrant return to Hollywood events.
The 35-year-old star, known for her role in The Wolf of Wall Street, attended a premiere event at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills to promote her upcoming romantic fantasy film A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, alongside her co-star Colin Farrell.
A Modern Twist on a Timeless Classic Outfit
Robbie did more than just walk the red carpet; she commanded attention in a sleek, semi-sheer Stella McCartney mini dress styled like a corset. The black dress accentuated her sculpted hips and statuesque figure, reinforcing her reputation for elegant yet daring fashion choices. She paired the outfit with minimalist, strappy black heels and wore her blonde hair in a smooth, straight style to complete the look.
The actress, who first gained widespread acclaim in Suicide Squad, has a well-known affinity for chic little black dresses, and her return to the spotlight proved that motherhood has not diminished her impeccable style. Meanwhile, Farrell complemented her look with a casual ensemble of jeans, a white T-shirt, and a black cardigan, creating a charming contrast fitting for their film’s theme of unexpectedly intertwined lives.
Embracing Motherhood While Continuing Her Career
Since giving birth to their first child in late 2024, Robbie and Ackerley have chosen to keep their baby boy’s name private, maintaining a respectful boundary around their family life. However, Robbie has shared tender glimpses into her new role as a mother, such as when she was seen wearing a gold necklace spelling out “mama” during a swimming trip in Australia earlier this year.
Motherhood has not slowed Robbie’s career momentum. She is currently starring in A Big Bold Beautiful Journey and is involved in Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights adaptation. Both projects are produced through LuckyChap Entertainment, the company she co-founded with her husband, blending their personal and professional lives seamlessly.
We were friends for so long,
Robbie reflected in a 2016 Vogue interview.
I was always in love with him, but I thought, ‘Oh, he would never love me back. Don’t make it weird, Margot.’ And then it happened, and I was like, ‘Of course we’re together. This makes so much sense, the way nothing has ever made sense before.’

Upcoming Projects and What Lies Ahead
A Big Bold Beautiful Journey tells the story of Sarah (Robbie) and David (Farrell), two strangers who embark on a magical adventure that allows them to revisit their most important life moments. The film, also featuring Phoebe Waller-Bridge from Fleabag and Jacob Elordi from Euphoria, is scheduled for release on September 19.
This film marks Robbie’s first leading role since her blockbuster hit Barbie in 2023. Despite hinting at taking a break from acting, Robbie recently joked about her presence in the industry.
I also think everyone’s probably sick of the sight of me for now,
she told Deadline.
I should probably disappear from screens for a while.

Her swift return suggests otherwise, as her red carpet appearance radiated the same confidence and glamour that made her a beloved Hollywood figure. Whether dressed in signature pink or a daring black mini, Robbie continues to make a powerful impression as she balances motherhood and her flourishing career.
