If I were a celebrity, I’d probably get carried away with access to a super-talented glam team and go fully over the top for every occasion. Running out to get coffee? Full updo. Red carpet moment? Pull out all the stops. But that’s where Margot Robbie and I differ—and why she’s the pro, not me. For the Parisian premiere of Wuthering Heights, Robbie pulled off a masterclass in mixing eras by pairing an ornate, Victorian-inspired red couture gown with laid-back, modern hair, makeup, and nails.
Thus far, the Wuthering Heights press tour has been full of delightful, surprising beauty details: crimper waves one day, scattered hair ribbons the next. In Paris, Robbie slipped into a custom Chanel couture gown made of luxurious red velvet, with a corseted bodice, bustle, and flowing train—a piece that looks right off the set of the forthcoming film. But instead of wearing it with an era-appropriate updo piled with curls, Robbie’s hairstylist Bryce Scarlett mixed things up in an unexpected way, styling the ultra-fancy gown with laid-back, beachy, barely there bends and waves flowing down to mid-back.
