Margot Robbie stepped out in a gothic-inspired look, proving once again why she remains one of Hollywood’s most iconic style figures. The Australian actor stepped out in a completely sheer black Alexander McQueen dress, styled by her longtime collaborator Andrew Mukamal.

The dress featured an all-over sheer construction with dense, textured appliqué layered across the bodice and skirt. Black floral motifs appeared scattered throughout the fabric, creating a sense of movement as Robbie walked. The long sleeves and high neckline balanced the transparency of the design, while the skirt flared subtly at the hem, looking romantic yet slightly undone. The sheer fabric revealed her legs underneath, reinforcing the bold nature of the styling.
Robbie paired the dress with black, open-toe stiletto heels featuring slim ankle straps, keeping the footwear minimal so the dress remained the focal point. She completed the look with oversized black sunglasses and delicate drop earrings. Her blonde hair was styled in loose, natural waves, adding softness to the otherwise dark, gothic palette.
The styling appeared to nod to classic gothic heroines, with clear references to Catherine Earnshaw from Wuthering Heights. A connection reinforced by the dramatic lacework and windswept feel of the look. Robbie’s appearance aligns with her upcoming role in a new film adaptation of Wuthering Heights, further grounding the fashion moment in narrative context. The dress’s dark, sheer construction and dramatic lace detailing echoed the character’s defining traits, intensity, and emotional depth. Qualities that have made the character both captivating and unsettling.
As an actor known for fully committing to character both on and off screen, Robbie’s Alexander McQueen look felt intentional rather than performative. The appearance underscored how fashion, storytelling, and character building often intersect in her style choices.
