Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ll know about Emerald Fennell’s upcoming adaptation of Wuthering Heights. With its Charli XCX soundtrack and historically inaccurate latex costumes, Emily Brontë purists might want to skip this one for Valentine’s Day weekend.
But for those who aren’t clutching their pearls over Fennell’s take on the classic, Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi’s steamy version promises to deliver a whole series of method-dressing press tour looks for audiences to obsess over. Kicking things off yesterday, Margot appeared in a baroque-meets-Instagram-baddie version of the naked dress: a lacy McQueen design from spring 2026 that would have left 18th-century ladies reaching for their smelling salts.
Paired with don’t-talk-to-me celebrity sunglasses and strappy sandals (similar to the spring 2003 McQueen rosary heels recently worn by Rosalía), the look was a far cry from Kate Bush’s wailing Cathy banging at the window in weather-beaten rags. Confirming that Robbie’s Brontë heroine will lean more toward Bridgerton-style drama, the actress also stepped out in a tiny Roberto Cavalli minidress paired with Louboutins—the obvious choice of footwear for navigating the Yorkshire moors.
