"As is her MO, Robbie has been taking inspiration from the dark romance Brontë's work is known for, marrying the old-timey style with today's trends. A prime example is Robbie's McQueen LBD, which she wore on Monday, Jan. 26. While out in Los Angeles, Robbie wore a "naked dress" from the British label's Spring/Summer 2026 collection. In true McQueen fashion, it evoked a haunting effect with its decadent lace, mock neck, and baroque-inspired bell sleeves."
"During her Barbie promo tour in 2023, Robbie recreated the Mattel doll's iconic box set outfits with the help of her stylist, Andrew Mukamal. The well-referenced pink-on-pink ensembles not only popularized method dressing, a styling technique several celebs now employ on the red carpet, but Robbie's series of 'fits also unwittingly started Barbiecore, an enduring Barbie Pink takeover. Ahead of her new project's Feb. 13 release, Robbie has been leaning into the same character-inspired ethos for her outings,"
Margot Robbie has leaned into character-inspired method dressing, evolving the Barbie-driven pink-on-pink trend into a gothic, Brontë-influenced aesthetic dubbed Brontë-core. Her Wuthering Heights press looks combine period romance motifs with contemporary silhouettes and fabrics. A McQueen "naked dress" from Spring/Summer 2026 featured decadent lace, a mock neck, baroque bell sleeves and sheer panels revealing underwear, paired with archival McQueen heels, shield sunglasses, pearl earrings and messy half-up, half-down curls. A second LBD adopted a square neckline, micro-mini hem and flouncy bell sleeves, continuing the dark-romance meets modern fashion theme.
