The actress makes a stunning comeback, wearing a vintage Mugler dress with a corset bodice and high slit for the New York premiere of her new film.
NEW YORK – Margot Robbie turned heads and sparked conversation at the New York premiere of her new film, A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, showcasing her impeccable style in a vintage Thierry Mugler gown. The actress, 35, chose a striking black dress from the fashion house’s 1998 Spring Haute Couture collection, a choice that has been celebrated by fashion critics and fans alike.
The custom gown featured a daring thigh-high split and a corset bodice, a testament to the iconic design of the late Thierry Mugler. Robbie, known for her sophisticated and bold fashion choices, paired the ensemble with elegant black strappy heels and silver statement earrings from Lorraine Schwartz. Her hair was styled in a chic bun, completing a look that exuded old Hollywood glamour with a modern, edgy twist.
This red carpet appearance marks a return to the public eye for Robbie, who welcomed her first child less than a year ago. Following her massive success in Barbie, the multi-talented star had previously announced her intention to take a break from acting.
“I think everyone’s probably sick of the sight of me for now,” Robbie shared in an interview with Deadline last year, adding that she wanted to “disappear from screens for a while” to focus on behind-the-scenes work. Her return to the spotlight for A Big Bold Beautiful Journey has been met with excitement from fans eager to see her on screen again.
In the romantic fantasy film, Margot Robbie stars alongside Colin Farrell as two strangers who embark on an “otherworldly adventure.” The film, which has already received positive early feedback, follows their characters, Sarah and David, as they discover a mysterious portal that allows them to re-live significant moments from their pasts.
The movie also features a star-studded cast, including Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Hamish Linklater, and Jodie Turner-Smith. Scheduled for release in Australian cinemas on September 18 and in the US and UK on September 19, the film has been hailed by some early viewers as the “movie of the year.”
The trailer, released by Sony Pictures in June, teases the emotional and fantastical journey the characters take. It shows them navigating poignant moments from their lives, including David’s high school heartbreak and Sarah’s past grief. The film’s central theme is captured in a powerful line from David: “No matter who you are in your life, you just need someone to share it with.”
