"After countless Barbie-themed looks while promoting Greta Gerwig's billion-dollar-grossing film, star Margot Robbie has pivoted to gothic-inspired fashion for her Wuthering Heights promotional engagements (think sheer lace, chokers and plenty of tousled hair). And in a move that feels in line with the marketing for Wicked and Marty Supreme, Robbie and her co-star Jacob Elordi - who are controversially playing destructive lovers Cathy and Heathcliff - are so far drumming up interest in their film by blurring the lines between fiction and reality."
"Robbie's wrap gift for the Euphoria star has been revealed, and while the pair stopped short of getting matching tattoos à la the Wicked girlies (as far as we know), the former Neighbours actor had signet rings custom-made for herself and Elordi. The bespoke jewellery features two skeletons entwined with each other - in the same pose as the film's posters - and the Emily Brontë quote: "Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.""
"This came just days after the release of a Vogue Australia interview, which saw the two Queenslanders trade anecdotes about their time filming the movie. Robbie - who also served as a producer - recalled how Elordi, "as Heathcliff", filled her dressing room with red roses on Valentine's Day. "It wasn't just the gesture of the roses, it was the thing written from Heathcliff, and that little tombstone thing," she said. "I was like, ah, crafts! Love that. It was crafty, it was meaningful, it was dramatic.""
Emerald Fennell's Wuthering Heights is due in cinemas in just over two weeks, and its stars have begun a stylized press tour. Margot Robbie has shifted from Barbie-themed looks to gothic-inspired outfits featuring sheer lace, chokers and tousled hair. Robbie and Jacob Elordi are promoting the film by blurring fiction and reality, embracing method-dressing and theatrical gestures. Robbie commissioned custom signet rings for herself and Elordi depicting two entwined skeletons and an Emily Brontë quote. Robbie also recalled Elordi, in character as Heathcliff, filling her dressing room with red roses and a handwritten note.
