Margot Robbie has completely redefined “method dressing” for the Wuthering Heights press tour. For her latest photo call in London, she reached deep into fashion history to find a look that matches the raw intensity of her character, Catherine Earnshaw. This appearance marks a shift from traditional romance to a more rebellious, archival aesthetic. By choosing a 1992 runway piece, Robbie and her stylist, Andrew Mukamal, have created a viral moment that blends historical drama with 1990s edge.
Margot Robbie dons only miniskirt and sheer tights under bold open-front John Galliano coat
The star of this look is a full-length, light green silk brocade bold coat from John Galliano’s Spring 1992 collection. At its core, the coat features a corseted bodice that only four hook-and-eye closures hold together. Because it fastens only under the bust, the coat remains wide open, exposing her bare midriff and the layers underneath. Meanwhile, pale pink feathery plumes dramatically decorate the neckline and cuffs, giving the piece a regal yet “punk-empress” feel.
Underneath this massive statement piece, Robbie wore a low-rise black micro-miniskirt. She paired the skirt with vibrant red thigh-high garter stockings. Delicate pink ribbons fasten the sheer stockings, matching the feathers on her coat. This daring combination of a heavy, floor-length coat with “lingerie-as-outerwear” creates a striking visual contrast. It feels bold, bare, and intentionally “unfinished.”
To complete the look, she chose satin Manolo Blahnik pumps in an icy blue-gray shade. She also wore diamond and pearl hoop earrings and a pair of thin ’90s-style sunglasses. Her blonde hair fell into a messy low bun, with loose strands softly framing her face. Meanwhile, her makeup stayed soft and romantic, featuring “rouge-tinted” cheeks that mirrored the red of her stockings. Together, the elements created a masterclass in fashion storytelling. As a result, Robbie looked absolutely powerful while channeling the obsessive spirit of the English moors.
