Margot Robbie attended the London premiere of Wuthering Heights on Thursday wearing a semi-sheer, nude-toned, corseted gown by British-Turkish designer Dilara Findikoglu.
The look featured braided human hair worked into the dress as Victorian-era-style trim.
The British-Turkish designer dressed Robbie in a semi-sheer, nude-toned, corseted gown whose most arresting detail was its trim: braided human hair worked into the construction like ornate, Victorian-era embellishment.
From the front, the silhouette reads as classic Findikoglu: body-hugging, corsetry-forward, and romantic in a slightly unsettling way, a perfect match for the emotional intensity associated with Bronte’s world.
The hair braids function almost like filigree or jewelry-like detailing, echoing the visual language of Victorian mourning jewelry, where woven hair was commonly used as a keepsake material.
Vogue reported that the hair-braiding references the Brontes directly, connecting to a historic hair bracelet associated with the Bronte sisters.
Allure noted that Robbie’s team worked to match the concept with surprising precision, turning the gown into a fashion translation of literary memorabilia.
Reuters reported that Findikoglu’s design landed as a form of method dressing aligned with a film built on obsession, class, and emotional extremity, core elements of Emily Bronte’s 1847 novel.
Robbie stars opposite Jacob Elordi in Emerald Fennell’s new adaptation, which is scheduled to hit theaters in mid-February 2026, according to Reuters’ reporting on the film and its release plans.
With "Wuthering Heights" nearing release, Robbie’s press-tour wardrobe has increasingly functioned like a visual thesis, using historical reference, provocative material choices, and gothic-romance silhouettes to echo the story’s intensity.
