Margot Robbie is something of a time traveller. Following the teaser trailer for Emerald Fennell’s very steamy Wuthering Heights, eagle-eyed fans remarked on the (somewhat inaccurate) historical dress, which ranged from Oktoberfest dirndl-core to Vivienne Westwood-esque wedding gowns. Now, adding to her era-bending approach, the actress is throwing it back to the ’70s in flared denim and a halterneck for a visit to BBC Radio 1.
Paired with a slouchy (albeit Chanel) camel jacket and matching bag, the outfit felt like a deliberate steer away from the period-drama looks of late, a reminder that, despite the bodice-ripping fan edits, Robbie is very much the modern woman. Of course, this was an A-lister’s take on jeans-and-a-jacket (we can’t all be wearing resort wear), but it was undeniably more low-key than the lingerie-inspired glitzy Armani Privé gown she wore just last night to the London premiere of A Big Bold Beautiful Journey.
Following a brief hiatus, Margot Robbie’s return to the spotlight has seen the star double down on her underwear-as-outerwear streak, recently going “bra-first” in vintage Mugler. Off the press circuit, Margot’s jeans and a tank top London girl style has landed her among the Zoë Kravitzes and Dakota Johnsons of the world for her relatable street-style inspo. Era-defying wardrobe aside, we can always get on board with a little throwback spirit.
