She’s the Hollywood star who has become known for her impeccable taste in clothes.
And now Margot Robbie’s long-time stylist Kate Young has revealed how she was able to turn the Australian actress from a rising fashionista into a full-blown style icon.
Working together for the first time in 2016, New York-based Young dressed Robbie in a glittering Tom Ford dress for the Academy Awards.
‘We met a month or two before then and worked on that dress, and have worked together even since,’ Kate, 45, told The Sunday Telegraph.
‘She’s a beach girl from Australia who is naturally beautiful. That dress, to me, was a really fancy dress – the whole dress was these pieces of gold leather sewn into it but the shape of it is really unfussy, minimal.
‘We wanted it to look like she’d been surfing and came in, blow dried her hair, and put on some lip gloss and this dress, and went to the party.’
The glittering gown earned Robbie a place at the top of the best-dressed lists, and soon after came a string of jaw-dropping ensembles that firmly crowned the former Home and Away star as a fashion queen.
This year, the pair decided on a custom Chanel Haute Couture gown, a slinky black mermaid silhouette bedecked in silver-foiled floral for the prestigious awards.
Dubbed one ‘Hollywood’s most powerful stylist’ by The Hollywood Reporter, Kate’s other clients including Selena Gomez, Dakota Johnson and Sienna Miller.
Young told the publication that she is a big fan of Australian designers always looks at ways to be ‘as supportive as possible’.
She said that Sir The Label, Anna Quan, Camilla and Marc, Dion Lee and Michael Lo Sordo were a few of her favourites.
Young is an ambassador for Australian-owned buy now, pay later service, Afterpay.
