Margot Robbie’s second stop on this London press tour took her to the BBC Radio Studios, where she continued promoting Wuthering Heights this afternoon.

You might have expected this to be the moment she eased off. After all, she has been moving at full speed since the tour began. Instead, the Catherine Earnshaw arc continues without pause.
Wearing her second Dilara Fındıkoğlu look of the tour, Margot wore a corset from the Spring 2023 collection. As we have come to realise, this is not simple decorative styling. The tapestry style fabric directly references period interiors, manor house upholstery and drawing room drapery, but it is reworked into something deliberately modern.
Pairing the corset with Dilara Fındıkoğlu’s Rushing Hour buckled jeans is where the look fully locks into the film’s emotional message. If the corset represents Catherine’s social constraint, the jeans lean toward defiance, pulling the look out of nostalgia and into conflict. This push pull effect has remained consistent throughout the press tour.
Jessica McCormack heart shaped ruby Gypset hoop earrings added a note of passion, while another pair of snakeskin pumps from this press tour, this time Paris Texas Vera pumps, tilted the look toward seduction or transformation, perhaps the latter on this occasion.
A leather coat and Gentle Monster sunglasses completed the look, keeping the narrative intact without softening its edge.
I love how, even on a London pavement, the press tour refuses to break character.
We wait with bated breath for tomorrow’s premiere.
Stylist: Andrew Mukamal.
