This custom Schiaparelli Haute Couture look feels like the clearest expression of the idea behind the entire press-tour wardrobe.
Daniel Roseberry’s corseted bustier gown immediately speaks to constraint and desire, with Cathy’s body both literally and socially bound. The nude jersey beneath the black Chantilly lace reads as exposure, mirroring the character’s emotional nakedness masked by social codes.

The necklace choice adds a deeper layer. Elizabeth Taylor’s Taj Mahal diamond necklace brings a history of grand, ruinous love into the frame, which sits squarely within the emotional territory of Wuthering Heights. Originally given as a love token, the necklace is heavy with devotion and loss, and Taylor herself became a symbol of passion lived publicly, repeatedly, and without apology. Here, the jewel reframes Cathy’s love not as youthful romance, but as legendary obsession. It also creates a direct lineage between cinematic heroines, linking Taylor’s era of operatic, emotionally maximal women to Margot’s modern interpretation of the same archetype. It is inheritance, obsession, and tragedy carried in a single piece. Lorraine Schwartz created diamond earrings to complement the necklace.
The strongest reference lies in the skirt. The cascading tiers move from black into blood red, which Schiaparelli described as a fumato effect on Instagram. Here, it feels more narrative than decorative, with love curdling into violence and romance bleeding into destruction. It echoes the novel’s emotional arc, where passion darkens and ultimately consumes.
Schiaparelli’s surreal romanticism is a fitting match for the operatic scale of Wuthering Heights. This lands as tragic grandeur, with the love story rendered not as romance, but as inevitable catastrophe.
If this were the final look of the press tour, which it is not, the story would already feel complete after the five looks we have seen so far. Roseberry has delivered yet another masterful statement. I’m excited to see what more is to come.
