Margot Robbie’s status as one of Hollywood’s most fashionable leading ladies has been as meteoric as her rise to film fame. Though the actress got her start in the Australian soap opera Neighbours in 2008, she was largely unknown in the United States until 2013, when she starred alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in Martin Scorsese’s Academy Award-nominated film, The Wolf of Wall Street. More leading roles quickly followed, as did standout red carpet looks as well as a few fashion partnerships.
After first signing with Calvin Klein as the face of their Deep Euphoria fragrance in 2016, Robbie landed her first major fashion contract in 2018, when she was named a Chanel ambassador. Her relationship with the French fashion house has continued through the years, and remains a rather contentious subject among style watchers, some of whom love her Chanel looks, and others who are, well, less convinced.
Still, Robbie was the last Chanel ambassador to be personally chosen by longtime creative director Karl Lagerfeld, prior to the German designer’s death in 2019. Ever since Robbie’s Chanel contract was announced, many of her major red carpet looks have been courtesy of the French fashion house, though she has occasionally strayed to other big name brands.
Ahead of the release of her highly-anticipated starring role in Barbie, we’re taking a look at Robbie’s style evolution, from her early days in Australia, to her Hollywood takeover in custom creations from the likes of Gucci, Prada, Saint Laurent and Tom Ford—and yes, lots of Chanel.

3. 2013, About Time World Premiere
For the world premiere of About Time in London, Robbie opted for a more grown-up aesthetic, with a white lace look from Ermanno Scervino’s Spring 2013 collection. She kept a few youthful elements, as she paired the floor-length dress with neon platforms and a gold clutch, and kept her hair and makeup simple for the summertime premiere, with a loose braid and glossy lips.
4. 2013, The Wolf of Wall Street Premiere
For the film premiere of her breakout role, Robbie also had a breakout style moment, wearing a custom gown by Armani Privé.

Robbie channeled her The Wolf of Wall Street alter ego when it came to her beauty look, opting for smokey eye makeup and tousled waves.
5. 2014, Golden Globe Awards
Robbie was all about grown-up sophisticated as she once again chose to wear white—this time, it was a custom, crystal-embellished Gucci gown—for the Golden Globe Awards in January 2014.
6. 2014, Academy Awards
Even though The Wolf of Wall Street didn’t come away with a win at the 2014 Oscars, Robbie scored a spot on the best dressed list, thanks to her chic, minimalist strapless black gown by Saint Laurent’s then-creative director, Hedi Slimane. Robbie also debuted a fresh hair color on the red carpet, showing off brunette locks that had been newly dyed for her role in Z for Zachariah. She styled her new tresses in retro waves, and added a plum lip.
7. 2014, Met Gala
Robbie had one more major fashion moment in 2014, as she attended her very first Met Gala, “Charles James: Beyond Fashion.” For fashion’s biggest night, Robbie wore a custom Prada gown, with daring sheer paneling over a satin bralette.

9. 2015, Givenchy Spring 2016 Fashion Show

It seems Robbie took a cue from the golden Oscar statues when it came to getting dressed for the 88th Academy Awards.

The event also marked the start of Robbie’s longtime working relationship with Young.
11. May 2016, Met Gala
Mere days before Robbie was announced as the face of Calvin Klein’s women’s fragrance, Deep Euphoria, she attended the Met Gala in a dress by the designer.

Robbie took a cue from her Suicide Squad character, Harley Quinn, when it came to dressing for the film’s world premiere, with an Alexander McQueen dress that combined edginess with a touch of fantasy. From the sheer dotted sleeves to the gold sequin unicorn, this was a total standout, and showed Robbie’s ongoing fondness for sheer paneling.
14. 2016, Suicide Squad European Premiere
A few days later, Robbie kept up her fashionable stretch in London, at the European premiere of Suicide Squad.

22. 2018, Mary Queen of Scots European Premiere
At the European premiere of Mary Queen of Scots in London, Robbie chose a romantic polka dot gown from Rodarte’s Spring 2019 collection, and matched her makeup, including her red lip and shimmering red eyeshadow, to the sequined red roses on her dress.
23. 2019, BAFTAs
This dress from Chanel’s Spring 2019 Couture collection is surely one of Robbie’s more daring—and perhaps controversial—looks from the designer; the embellished tulle frock divided critics, but it was undoubtedly a bold choice, as Robbie proved she’s not afraid to take risks.
24. 2019, Cannes Film Festival
Instead of the traditional evening gown, Robbie went for a sequined top and pants at the Cannes Film Festival premiere of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. The Chanel look, from the Spring 2011 Couture collection, was a unique choice for the glamorous event, and ensured she stood out in the crowd. When paired with cut-crease eyeshadow and a bouncy blowout, Robbie seemed to be paying homage to the late actress Sharon Tate, whom she portrayed in the film.
25. 2019, Chanel Fall 2020 Couture Show
Robbie sat alongside Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour at Chanel’s Fall 2020 Couture show in Paris, and naturally, dressed in head-to-toe Chanel, sporting a suit from the 2020 Resort collection and accessorizing with ankle boots and a Chanel 19 handbag.
26. 2019, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood Los Angeles Premiere

29. 2020, Birds of Prey World Premiere
Love it or hate it, this black Dries Van Noten gown, complete with an asymmetrical feathered sash, was certainly one of Robbie’s most memorable red carpet moments, largely thanks to the hot pink opera gloves and neon glitter eyeshadow.
30. 2020, Academy Awards
It was back to Chanel at the 2020 Academy Awards, for which Robbie went into the designer’s archives with a vintage look; the frock was actually a custom take on a look from the Chanel Spring 1994 Couture collection. In addition to a matte red lip, the circular lapis, adorned with gold and pearls, at the bustier of the dress made the real statement.
21. 2021, Academy Awards
Robbie continued her Chanel streak in a shining gown from the Fall 2019 Couture collection. The classic, slim-fitting silhouette was a more straightforward and simple design, but the silver-foiled floral pattern promised Robbie stood out. Still, it was Robbie’s new bangs that really stole the show.

Robbie took a dramatic sartorial turn at the premiere of Amsterdam in London, in a Celine gown with a matching cape.

34. 2022, Governors Awards
This ab-baring green Bottega Veneta dress is what led so many to speculate (and celebrate, in some cases) that Robbie’s Chanel contract had finally come to an end. Robbie let the slinky dress take center stage, and accessorized with simple gold bracelets and earrings, a sleek blowout and a wash of shimmering gold eyeshadow.
35. 2022, Babylon World Premiere

36. 2023, Golden Globe Awards
Robbie’s performance as Nellie LaRoy in Babylon earned her a Best Actress nomination at the Golden Globes, and the actress returned to Chanel for the occasion. This custom pink lace and tulle gown was inspired by a look from the French fashion house’s Fall 2022 Couture collection, and reportedly took more than 750 hours to make, thanks to the sequin, bugle bead and feather embroidery. The bubblegum pink hue was also perfect for Robbie’s upcoming role in a rather anticipated film.
37. 2023, Babylon U.K. Premiere
Robbie really brought the drama on the Babylon press tour, including this sweeping Valentino gown from the Spring 2023 collection. Featuring a modest front, the dress left a major impression with its open-back design and reverse cape effect.
38. 2023, Academy Awards
Robbie was a presenter at the 2023 Academy Awards, and looked the Hollywood part in an off-the-shoulder gown from Armani Privé’s Spring 2019 Couture collection.

40. 2023, Met Gala
The 2023 Met Gala, “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty,” honored Karl Lagerfeld, who served as Chanel creative director from 1983 until his death in 2019.
