Margot Robbie Wore Chanel To The ‘Wuthering Heights’ Paris Premiere

Margot Robbie attended the Paris premiere of Wuthering Heights held at Le Grand Rex this evening.

Remember last week when I questioned whether Chanel could offer enough range to sustain this thematic press tour? I am happy to be proved wrong. This custom look leans fully into a mid-Victorian silhouette, rooted in corsetry and bustle-era moral rigidity, and it is her strongest outing on the tour so far.

The corseted bodice is firm in structure and mood, holding the torso with a discipline that echoes Catherine Earnshaw’s self-imposed containment once she chooses respectability over instinct. Red has already emerged as a recurring colour story, but this is not romantic red. It is closer to burgundy, a shade that reads as passion that has aged into resentment or curdled into something more dangerous.

The red velvet does not sit politely on the white silk skirt. It overwhelms it, spilling forward and downward, which makes the contrast feel pointed. Innocence is present, but it is being consumed in real time. The visual tension is effective here.

At the back, the bustle is amplified with feathers, a detail we have already seen explored in her Victoria Beckham looks, where feathers suggested fragility and emotional rupture, but here they feel more theatrical and more narratively precise.

The custom Lorraine Schwartz choker might appear ornamental at first glance, but in the context of this look it reads as restrictive, almost claustrophobic. Placed at the throat, it concentrates the entire red narrative at the body’s most vulnerable point, breath, voice, restraint. It finishes the story with a sense of control and confinement, rather than romance.

Stylist: Andrew Mukamal.
