While Emerald Fennel’s Wuthering Heights proved itself a lightning rod for controversy from the jump, Margot Robbie has the stamp of approval from Emily Brontë herself—or, as close as one can get, anyway.
For the London premiere, Robbie wore a bracelet made of the writer’s own hair. A piece of Victorian mourning jewelry, it was owned by Brontë’s sister, Charlotte. An amethyst dangled from a bracelet woven from Emily and Anne Brontë’s hair.
Victorian mourning jewelry, which often included intricate hair braiding, comes through in Robbie’s custom Dilara Findikoglu look: a nude corseted gown trimmed in ornate blonde braids to match the actor’s own hair.
Complementing Brontë’s bracelet, jeweler Jessica McCormack, whose signature button-back settings have found fans amongst Zendaya, Zoë Kravitz, and Dakota Johnson, fashioned a bespoke ring and earrings for Robbie’s premiere look. Inspired by Brontë’s bracelet, McCormack—whose work is influenced by the Victorian and Georgian eras—created a pair of drop earrings made of garnets, diamonds, and pearls. On her finger, Robbie also wore a custom four-carat ruby ring, set east-west in McCormack’s signature blackened gold.
