Ever since the first trailers dropped, the world has been captivated by the “Cathy” aesthetic. With the official press tour in full swing, it is clear that Margot Robbie Wuthering Heights look is clearly sort after. People are looking for ways to capture that moody, romantic energy and Margot Robbie and her stylist, Andrew Mukamal, have turned every red carpet into a fashion history lesson, proving that 19th-century drama can be the ultimate 2026 vibe.
Stepping into the shoes of Catherine Earnshaw requires a specific kind of wardrobe. It needs to be wild, slightly trapped, and deeply passionate. From archival Galliano to custom Schiaparelli, the fashion choices we are seeing are nothing short of legendary. Let’s look at the top five ways you can embrace this hauntingly beautiful style.
1. The Sculptural Corset
If there is one piece that defines this entire era, it is the corset. In the film, these pieces are used as a visual metaphor for Cathy’s feelings of being trapped by society. On the red carpet, Margot has modernized this by wearing structured bustiers that feel both ancient and avant-garde.
2. Billowing Peasant Blouses
We are calling this “The Heathcliff Effect.” There is something so romantic about a full, puffy sleeve catching the wind on a Yorkshire moor. These blouses are the fashion equivalent they make the heart skip a beat with their soft, effortless volume.
- Milkmaid Chic: Opt for high-neck cotton tops with pintuck details.
- Layering: Try wearing a sheer, ruffly blouse under a sleeveless dress or a vest to create that “period drama” silhouette without looking like you are in a costume.
3. The “Dipped in Red” Palette
The film uses a deep, blood-red color to represent the intense heartbeat shared between Cathy and Heathcliff. This has translated into some of Margot’s most famous press looks, including a custom Schiaparelli gown with a red-to-black ombré skirt and a stunning red velveteen Chanel gown.
4. Victorian Volume and Ruffles
Cathy is a character of high emotions, and her clothes reflect that through sheer volume. We are seeing a huge return to crinoline-inspired skirts and tiered ruffles that add a sense of drama to every movement.
5. Heirloom Jewelry and Mourning Pieces
The details are what truly bring this look to life. During the London premiere, Margot wore a replica of a “mourning bracelet” made from braided hair, a traditional Victorian practice. While you don’t have to go that far, “heirloom” style jewelry is a major trend.
- Velvet Chokers: A simple black velvet ribbon with a ruby or pearl pendant is the easiest way to get the look.
- Decorative Brooches: Pin a vintage-style brooch onto a blazer or a high-neck blouse for an instant Victorian upgrade.
