Margot Robbie Dazzles in $8.8M Necklace That Once Belonged to Elizabeth Taylor
Margot Robbie made a dramatic switch from the bright, playful vibes of Barbie to the dark and stormy world of Wuthering Heights at the Los Angeles premiere of her new film. The actress appeared on the red carpet at the TCL Chinese Theatre in a look that perfectly matched the gothic romance of the movie. Fans and reporters immediately noticed that her wardrobe was as carefully chosen as ever, but this time, it carried a far more intense and moody energy.

Robbie wore a custom Schiaparelli couture gown inspired by Victorian fashion. The strapless, laced bodice flowed into a striking petal-shaped skirt in shades of black and deep red. The colors were a clear nod to the passionate and destructive love story between her character, Cathy, and Jacob Elordi’s Heathcliff. The dress itself came from Schiaparelli’s spring 2026 collection, reimagined specifically for Robbie.

The real conversation starter, however, was her jewelry. Robbie wore Elizabeth Taylor’s heart-shaped Taj Mahal diamond, a legendary piece once given to the Hollywood icon by Richard Burton. The diamond is inscribed in Parsee with Love is Everlasting and has a rich history dating back to Mughal India, eventually becoming a Cartier treasure before selling for $8.8 million in 2011. According to sources, choosing this historic piece was a meaningful way to reflect the intense romance at the heart of Wuthering Heights.
Beyond the red carpet, Robbie has been keeping busy in Hollywood. She continues to produce projects through her company, LuckyChap Entertainment, and is also set to serve as a jury member at Australia’s Tropfest short film festival later this month. After the global success of Barbie, she has focused on darker, more complex stories like this one.
Wuthering Heights is directed by Emerald Fennell, who previously worked with Robbie on Promising Young Woman and Saltburn. This adaptation is described as a highly stylized and modern take on Emily Brontë’s classic novel, blending fantasy with a feverish, dreamlike quality. The cast includes Hong Chau as Nelly Dean and Shazad Latif as Edgar Linton, with original songs by Charli XCX setting the tone for the film.
Jacob Elordi stars opposite Robbie as Heathcliff, and the pair’s on-screen energy has already sparked buzz. At the premiere, Robbie joked about how intense the filming process was, hinting at the powerful chemistry between them. The film is set to hit theaters on February 13, making it an unconventional choice for Valentine’s Day entertainment, especially for those who enjoy dark, passionate stories.
