Margot Robbie officially kicked off her Wuthering Heights press tour yesterday, and she and stylist Andrew Mukamal are channeling the film’s dark, romantic aesthetic into her looks. Robbie appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! wearing two little black dresses. The first look is a Roberto Cavalli look featuring a striking red and gold pendant necklace.
The second dress she wore on air was a completely sheer black Alexander McQueen dress.
During an appearance on the talk show, Robbie talked about his experience watching a movie with his friends for the first time. “I’m a producer on this film, so I’ve seen it many times, and last week I saw it with some kind of audience,” she began. “Last week, my amazing friends gave Kathy the Bachelorette. Kathy is my character, and at first I thought it was a joke. They were like, ‘Kathy’s Bach, Kathy’s Bach.’ And I was like, ‘Wait, are you really going to give a fake Bachelorette to a fictional character?'” They were like, ‘Yes, absolutely.’ ”
Robbie told Kimmel that she couldn’t say much about what happened because of the “girl code,” but she did reveal that the movie was shown at the gathering. “I thought, ‘If I show it to the girls, they’ll love it.'” And that was the most distraught experience of my life. ”
She called it “the most fun Wednesday night of my life” and “the craziest night ever.”
“The screening itself, to put it in context, was like 20 women foaming at the mouth,” she said. “They were like rabid dogs. They had already had a few drinks, but when the movie started they were screaming. I thought, ‘They’re not really going to do that, they’re missing a big part of the movie.'” But that wasn’t really watching the movie. It was like a call and response situation. There was constant commentary, screams throughout, and even sobs at some points. ”
The party was held in a private room at Los Angeles’ Byrd Street Club and “we had a mood board,” she added. “I was wearing white corsets and lace, and they were all dressed like mob wives with black lace and corsets, and I think the theme was Victorian sluttiness. Do whatever you want with it.”
She quipped, “There was nothing quite right about the night, especially the lack of commentary throughout the movie.”
