Margot Robbie Channels Cathy Earnshaw in Ethereal Gossamer Gown at Sydney Premiere of Wuthering Heights

Emerald Fennell’s reimagining of Emily Brontë’s classic Wuthering Heights hits theatres today, bringing gothic drama and windswept romance to the big screen.

The Australian premiere at Sydney’s iconic State Theatre last night drew a star-studded crowd, with Margot Robbie delivering a hauntingly romantic moment in a custom Ashi Studio Couture gown, styled by Andrew Mukamal.

Robbie was joined by co-star Jacob Elordi, who wore a sharp double-breasted grey suit and caught attention with a glinting gold tooth, a nod to Heathcliff’s distinctive look in the film. Other notable attendees included Hailey Bieber, Taron Egerton, Sarah Snook, Sarah Ellen, and supermodel Gemma Ward, making it a glamorous celebration of gothic romance and cinema.

Margot Robbie’s Ensemble: A Gothic Masterpiece

Robbie embodied Cathy Earnshaw in a rusted ecru gown by Ashi Studio Couture, merging 18th-century corsetry influences with contemporary couture elegance. The fitted bodice, hand-painted to appear centuries old, featured delicate shading and exposed boning that gave the gown the aura of a treasured heirloom. Ethereal, feather-light sleeves floated off the shoulders, while a layered gossamer tulle skirt trailed behind her, subtly distressed to evoke windswept, lovelorn romance.

Styling and Makeup

Robbie completed the look with softly sculpted Old Hollywood waves and a vintage-inspired choker, perfectly echoing the gothic elegance of her gown. Minimalist makeup—flushed cheeks, softly defined eyes, and a muted rose lip—allowed the craftsmanship of the dress to remain the focus while enhancing its ethereal, cinematic mood.

The overall effect was cinematic and immersive, as though Catherine Earnshaw had stepped straight from the pages of Brontë’s novel: timeless, theatrical, and hauntingly beautiful.
