Margot Robbie Wore John Galliano To The ‘Wuthering Heights’ London Photocall

Margot Robbie pulling a John Galliano Spring 1992 look for the London photocall is not just an archival flex; it is precisely aligned with the emotional mood of Wuthering Heights through clear thematic intent.

Galliano’s early-90s work is obsessed with romantic ruin: clothes that feel lived-in, emotionally charged, and slightly indecent, much like Emily Brontë’s characters. This look, in particular, channels a heroine who exists outside polite society, which is exactly where Wuthering Heights lives.

What makes the look compelling is the contrast between formality and fragility. The coat’s aristocratic structure is disrupted by the softness of the feathered trims and the fluidity of the fabric, creating a sense of something unravelling as you look closer. That push-pull mirrors Catherine Earnshaw’s split identity: the woman she is versus the woman society demands she be. Galliano excels at this exact duality.

The red stockings are key to the narrative. They are not to be read as playful or coquettish. Instead, they signal fixation and emotional intensity. Red here reads as insistence rather than romance, aligning more closely with obsession than with allure.

As a British romantic radical, Galliano’s work speaks directly to a moment when British fashion was interrogating class, desire, and rebellion, the same tensions that define Wuthering Heights. This is a reminder that it is not a soft-focus love story; it is a brutal, obsessive one rooted in English soil.

This look captures Catherine at her most exposed and unresolved. In that sense, it is one of the most narratively precise choices of the press tour so far.

Galliano delivers that final note better than a contemporary piece ever could.

I’m going to need to catch my breath after this one, because I know the premiere, which is thankfully tomorrow, will be another masterstroke.

Custom Manolo Blahnik Carolyne pumps and Jessica McCormack diamond and pearl cut-down hoop earrings completed her look.
