Margot Robbie Wore Dilara Fındıkoğlu To The ‘Wuthering Heights’ London Premiere
Every time I wonder if there is another level to this Wuthering Heights press tour, Margot Robbie steps onto the red carpet and I get my answer: yes. And this London premiere look is where the fashion symbolism clicks fully into place.
This custom Dilara Fındıkoğlu dress feels distilled to its most dangerous essence: desire, punishment, devotion and defiance braided together.
The corsetry is the first tell. Dilara Fındıkoğlu’s work often interrogates how women’s bodies have been disciplined, moralised and mythologised, and here the boning reads less as support than constraint.
Then there’s the ropework, wrapping and crossing the torso and hips like ritual binding. It evokes Heathcliff and Catherine’s mutual obsession, not romantic freedom, but attachment so fierce it becomes a form of captivity. This is love as entanglement, not ornament.
The sheer fabric is crucial. Catherine is emotionally exposed throughout the novel, impulsive, volatile and unprotected, yet constantly judged and reshaped by others. The transparency suggests vulnerability, but also defiance. Nothing here is hidden or apologetic.
Even the palette matters. Bone, moss and muted gold echo the moors themselves, earthy, ancient and untamed, placing Catherine back in her natural habitat rather than the drawing rooms she never truly belonged to. The trailing hem feels damp, dragged through grass and soil, as though the dress has already lived a life outdoors, a feeling underscored by the rain falling throughout the premiere tonight.
Where the Paris looks explored Catherine’s psychological fracture, this London moment feels more primal. It is no longer society versus self. As Dilara Fındıkoğlu does not dress heroines, she dresses women who refuse containment.
In other words, this is not Catherine as tragic romantic. It is Catherine, via Margot, as a force of nature.
She completed the look with a bracelet that belonged to Charlotte Brontë, bespoke Jessica McCormack garnet, diamond and pearl earrings, paired with a four-carat ruby button-back ring, alongside archival Boucheron brooches from the early 20th century. The historic pieces were selected to echo the romantic and gothic tension at the heart of Emily Brontë’s novel.
I would say I am speechless, but clearly I am not. My mind is well and truly blown.
