Prepare to &#8220;fall in love again and again&#8221; with each one.<\/p>\n<p>For her first official Wuthering Heights event, Charli joined Robbie, Jacob Elordi, and Fennell at a Beverly Hills junket. She posed for photographers wearing a vintage knit cardigan and camisole from John Galliano Fall 2003. Sheer lace sleeves and floral embroidery attached her two-piece to the film&#8217;s gothic Victorian glamour, while the black color combination made it just brat-core enough.<\/p>\n<p>Stylist Chris Horan paired it with a black Saint Laurent midi skirt. The entire calf-grazing pencil skirt was crafted from loose Pointelle viscose, making it partially transparent.
