Margot Robbie turned her appearance at the London premiere ofWuthering Heightsinto a moment of literary homage by wearing a historically inspired mourning bracelet linked to Emily Brontë. The premiere, held on February 6, saw Robbie step onto the red carpet adorned with a replica of a 19th-century bracelet originally owned by Charlotte Brontë and crafted using the hair of her sisters Emily and Anne — a Victorian-era tradition used to memorialise loved ones.
The bracelet replica was created by a studio based in Haworth, the Yorkshire village synonymous with the Brontë family, lending the accessory remarkable historical authenticity. By choosing such a piece, Robbie transformed a fashion statement into a meaningful connection with the author whose work she is bringing to life on screen.
Robbie’s outfit further reflected the sombre romance ofWuthering Heights. Her custom gown, designed by Dilara Findikoglu, featured a nude corseted silhouette with intricate braided detailing inspired by Victorian hair-braiding techniques. The braids were hand-dyed to mirror the tones of the mourning bracelet, subtly reinforcing the themes of memory, loss and passion that define Brontë’s novel.
Unlike her vibrant and playfulBarbiepress tour, Robbie’sWuthering Heightswardrobe has leaned heavily into symbolism and historical research. Styled by Andrew Mukamal, the press looks have been carefully curated to reflect the emotional weight and gothic undertones of Emily Brontë’s world. Mukamal reportedly immersed himself deeply in research, even collaborating closely with the film’s costume department to ensure visual continuity between the film and its promotion.
WithWuthering Heightsset for release on February 14 and filmed in landscapes that inspired Brontë’s writing, Robbie’s mourning bracelet stood out as more than a fashion accessory. It served as a quiet yet powerful reminder that the story is not just a romantic classic, but a cultural legacy — one Robbie is clearly committed to honouring with care and respect.
