During the press tour for Wuthering Heights, Margot Robbie showcased her styling prowess with a striking Margot Robbie Thom Browne dress that embraced the novel’s dark, romantic themes. At the Paris promotional event, the actress paired her look with a Victorian-inspired yet modern approach, expertly delivering an intense and versatile fashion statement.
From Victorian Corset to Sleek Minidress: A Two-in-One Fashion Transformation
The centerpiece of Robbie’s Paris outfit was an elaborate, custom-made Thom Browne piece that masterfully combined historical design with contemporary style. Initially, the dress presented as a complex corset ensemble for the afternoon photo session, featuring black silk moiré with off-the-shoulder detailing. The dress included a rigid, bone-structured bodice trimmed with delicate black floral lace and a pleated peplum, capturing gothic elegance inspired by Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights.
In a surprising twist, Robbie unveiled the outfit’s adaptability by detaching the outer skirt layer for the evening event, revealing a tight-fitting micro-minidress underneath. This seamless change allowed her to shift effortlessly from a dramatic Victorian silhouette into a chic, party-ready look, underscoring the designer’s innovative concept and her stylist Andrew Mukamal’s sharp vision.

The meticulous design was evident in the monochromatic lacing that ran down the center of the corset, heightening the piece’s gothic allure. Complementing the dress, Robbie wore patent leather heels alongside a wide black velvet choker adorned with a diamond cross pendant by Jessica McCormack. Her hair swept up in a curled mid-bun and softly glowing makeup completed an appearance that evoked the spirit of Catherine Earnshaw, brought into a modern context.
