Margot Robbie Stuns in Ghostly Corset at ‘Wuthering Heights’ Sydney Premiere
The stormy romance of Wuthering Heights has officially rolled into Sydney, and Margot Robbie made sure she was dressed for the atmospheric occasion. The buzzy film held its red carpet premiere down under on Thursday, February 12, marking a triumphant homecoming for its two Australian leads. Robbie, 35, stunned the crowd in a custom Ashi Studio Couture gown in pale écru, featuring sheer tulle off-the-shoulder sleeves and a dramatically shredded skirt.
The gown’s bodice was created in collaboration with the legendary corsetmaker Mr. Pearl to evoke a sense of 18th-century structure. The fabric was meticulously hand-painted to resemble a weathered antique, leaning into the film’s haunting gothic aesthetic. She completed the look with a Lorraine Schwartz yellow and blackened gold diamond choker and custom Manolo Blahnik shoes.

Co-star Jacob Elordi, who plays the brooding Heathcliff opposite Robbie’s Catherine Earnshaw, was equally striking in a blue double-breasted suit. He added a rugged touch with a gold tooth cap similar to the one he wears throughout the movie. For the Sydney premiere, he added a bit of extra sparkle to the look with a tiny diamond set next to an engraved H on the cap.
The Wuthering Heights press tour has become a fashion event in its own right since kicking off in late January. Robbie has worked closely with stylist Andrew Mukamal, the same mastermind behind her iconic 2023 Barbie press run, to channel the brooding energy of her heroine. This new adaptation, directed by Emerald Fennell, is described as a bold and illicit reimagining of the Emily Brontë classic.

Fennell, who previously directed Robbie and Elordi in various capacities through her films Saltburn and Promising Young Woman, has moved away from a direct book-to-screen adaptation. She noted that she wanted to create something that captured the raw emotional chaos of the original text rather than a polite period piece. The film features a contemporary pulse, including a soundtrack with original contributions from Charli XCX.
Margot Robbie’s return to the big screen comes after a busy year for her production company, LuckyChap Entertainment. While she faced a minor box office hurdle with last year’s A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, early tracking for Wuthering Heights suggests it will be the first major hit of 2026. She has several upcoming projects in development, including a live-action Sims movie and the much-anticipated Ocean’s Eleven prequel alongside Ryan Gosling.
Jacob Elordi has also maintained an incredibly high profile following his acclaimed turn in Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein. In addition to his role as Heathcliff, he is set to return as Nate Jacobs in the long-awaited third season of Euphoria, which is scheduled to premiere this spring. He will also star in the post-apocalyptic thriller The Dog Stars, directed by Ridley Scott, where he will play a civilian pilot navigating a world destroyed by a pandemic.
The film’s ensemble cast is rounded out by talent such as Hong Chau as Nelly Dean, Shazad Latif as Edgar Linton, and Alison Oliver. The production was filmed on location in the North Yorkshire countryside, utilizing minimalist and surrealist set designs to emphasize the psychological weight of the story. Robbie has described the project as a deeply personal endeavor, stating, I knew that if somebody else made this film, I’d be furious.
With its worldwide release set for February 13, the film is perfectly positioned for a Valentine’s Day weekend debut. It marks another successful collaboration between Robbie’s production label and Warner Bros., following their record-breaking success with Barbie. As the press tour concludes, the chemistry between the two leads and the film’s stylized visuals remain the talk of the industry.
