She has become one of the most recognisable faces in Hollywood and often tops lists of the most beautiful women in the world.
But Margot Robbie‘s red carpet looks are missing the mark, according to online fashion snobs.
Her latest look, a custom Chanel gown worn to the Golden Globes on Tuesday, has been described as ‘boring and bland’, with keyboard warriors claiming her stylist must ‘hate her’ due to a string of red carpet flops.
Despite topping best-dressed lists, many thought the soft pink crystal-embellished dress featuring a ruffled hem was ‘boring and stale’.
Margot’s choice of pink appears to be an homage to her upcoming role as Barbie in the upcoming Greta Gerwig-directed comedy, while the flapper style is likely a nod to her role in Babylon, which is set in the 1920s.
Despite the clear references to her projects, trolls were quick to criticise the look, with one writing: ‘Imagine being Margot Robbie’s stylist. Managing to make a woman as beautiful as her look bad. Wow. I’m sure it takes a lot of hard work and dedication’.
‘Millennial pink chevron with a funfetti skirt? Margot Robbie just give me the stylist’s number, I wanna talk,’ wrote another.
‘Nothing scares Margot Robbie fans more than the sentence “Margot Robbie is wearing Chanel,”‘ said one fashionista, referencing the actress’s long-term collaboration with the French luxury fashion house.
The 32-year-old was named as a brand ambassador for Chanel in 2018, and has almost exclusively worn it on the red carpet since.
In the last five years, critics have heckled her outfits online, with many calling on her stylist Kate Young to ‘free her’ from the contract.
While no details of a formal contract have ever been made public, some speculated her deal with the brand had come to an end after she wore an emerald green Bottega Veneta dress to the Governors Awards in November, which was described as her ‘best look ever‘.
Days later, she was papped leaving a New York City hotel in a Proenza Schouler power suit and an oversized Bottega blazer.
She also wore a flowing charcoal Celine dress to the European premiere of Amsterdam in London in September, with fans taking to TikTok at the time to celebrate the ‘end of her Chanel era’.
However, the I, Tonya star returned with a Chanel look at the Golden Globes this week, which disappointed some amateur fashionistas.
‘Margot Robbie’s stylist knows she would break the internet and everyone would be jealous of her as the most stunning woman in the world, so she lets her wear ugly outfits to protect us,’ one fan joked.
‘Margot Robbie’s stylist deserves jail time,’ said another.
‘I see Margot Robbie’s stylist hates her again,’ commented one.
‘It is my own fault for believing the rumours that Margot Robbie was out of her Chanel contract, but imagine my disappointment when I thought she was free, only to see her turn up to the globes in THIS,’ said another.
According to British Vogue, the dress involved more than 750 hours of work with Chanel artisans creating the flared custom-made look inspired by Chanel’s autumn 2022 haute couture collection, designed by creative director Virginie Viard.
‘It was exciting working with Chanel to make this custom look,’ Kate Young, Margot’s stylist, told the fashion bible.
She explained the knockout dress was months-in-the-making process, with discussions about the ensemble starting last autumn.
‘We met in September in Paris while we were all at a photo shoot.’
In 2020, celebrity stylist Elliot Garnaut named Margot as his ‘worst-dressed’ Australian star in Hollywood.
The sartorial expert took part in an episode of The Lady Bunch, hosted by Rozalia Russian, where he dramatically asked the former Neighbours star to ‘call him’.
‘Your stylist is literally f**king torturing you. You look like an old wench!’ he said.
‘Somebody at Chanel obviously hates her,’ Elliot joked. ‘She has the entire archive at her disposal and she’s walking out in these old rags. B***h, no!’
Elliot is a Melbourne-based stylist with a number of high-profile clients.
They include Rebecca Harding, Phoebe Burgess and Elyse Knowles, Nadia Fairfax Kate Waterhouse, Karl Stefanovic and Shanina Shaik.
