Margot Robbie donned an elaborate wedding dress while filming Emerald Fennell’s adaptation of Wuthering Heights, but the costume drew mixed reactions from fans of the 1847 novel.
Margot Robbie’s latest trip down the aisle has already led to a split.
While filming a scene for her upcoming romance adaptation Wuthering Heights—based on the 1847 novel by Emily Brontë—March 21 in Yorkshire, England, the actress donned a waist-cinching wedding dress with a ball gown silhouette and a colorful bouquet of flowers, completing the costume with a long veil that flowed dramatically in the wind.
But the over-the-top ensemble has polarized some fans of the classic literary work, who took issue with the creative liberties taken by the film’s wardrobe department.
“The cut is modern,” one user wrote on X (formerly Twitter), adding, “It’s a dedicated wedding dress instead of a finery dress to be worn again.”
Another bookworm also took issue with the 34-year-old—who recently welcomed her first baby with husband Tom Ackerley—taking on the role of Catherine, who is a teenager in the novel.
“Love her, but the age is going to be distracting,” they wrote on Instagram. “Isn’t Cathy like 18?”
The response wasn’t all negative, though. One fan gave kudos to Robbie’s hairstylist, writing, “I’m so obsessed with the hair!!”
The project, costarring Jacob Elordi as Catherine’s love interest Heathcliff and directed by Emerald Fennell, previously drew mixed responses when news of Robbie and Elordi’s casting was first reported. In fact, one comment focused on the actors’ supposedly modern-looking facial structure—commonly described as “iPhone Face”—which would conflict with the book’s 19th-century setting.
“While I feel that both Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie have severe cases of iPhone face I will be seated for Wuthering Heights regardless,” an observer posted at the time, “because to me being hot is the most important thing an actor can be.”
As filming continues on Wuthering Heights, keep scrolling for a look at other new and upcoming movies.
