Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi dazzled at the Los Angeles premiere of the highly-anticipated film adaptation of Emily Brontë’s classic novel, “Wuthering Heights,” held on January 28. The premiere highlighted both their fashionable flair and the deep connection they formed while portraying the iconic characters of Catherine and Heathcliff.
Robbie, a three-time Oscar nominee, made a stunning entrance in a form-fitting Schiaparelli gown. The dress featured a nude lace bodice that seamlessly transitioned into a dramatic black-and-red train, evoking the beauty of flower petals. Accessorizing thoughtfully, she wore the Cartier Taj Mahal necklace, a piece with a rich history that originally belonged to the late Elizabeth Taylor. Taylor received this exquisite jewel from Richard Burton for her 40th birthday in 1972. Robbie expressed in a red carpet interview that she and her stylist, Andrew Mukamal, aimed for intentionality in her fashion choices, making the necklace a fitting complement to her dress. She further adorned herself with custom 38-carat diamond earrings from Lorraine Schwartz, showcasing the interplay of vintage stones set in blackened bronze and gold, along with other jewels from Fred Leighton.
Elordi, standing in striking contrast to the premiere’s all-white background, opted for a classic all-black suit, perfectly matching Robbie’s elegant look. The duo shared insights into their roles, describing the complex childhood friendship of Catherine and Heathcliff, whose love is fraught with challenges stemming from their social differences.
Reflecting on their time filming, both actors recalled special moments, particularly a grand gesture Elordi orchestrated for Robbie on Valentine’s Day. He surprised her by filling her room with roses, aligning with the romantic themes of their characters. Robbie noted the thoughtfulness of Elordi’s gesture, leading her to conclude he would make a “very good boyfriend.” In light-hearted exchange, Elordi mentioned he felt he had outdone Robbie in their Valentine’s Day celebrations, to which she agreed, praising the effort he put into the thoughtful surprise.
In a previous interview, Elordi described moments during filming when they truly felt the connection between their characters. He shared instances of running hand-in-hand across the moors where the essence of Catherine and Heathcliff’s love emerged authentically, strengthening the bond they developed throughout the production.
As the release of “Wuthering Heights” approaches, anticipation continues to build, not only around the film’s powerful narrative but also around the compelling chemistry between its lead actors, promising to bring Brontë’s timeless story to a new generation.
