Dark, Dramatic, and Dangerous – Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi Turn the “Wuthering Heights” Premiere Into Pure Gothic Chaos

by

The premiere of “Wuthering Heights” in Los Angeles felt perfectly gothic, as Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi embraced a dark and romantic vibe on the red carpet. Although the movie, a fresh adaptation of Emily Brontë’s famous novel, won’t be out for several months, its stars are already creating the right atmosphere.

The movie premiered on Wednesday, January 28th, at the TCL Chinese Theatre. Reports from the red carpet event indicate the atmosphere matched the film’s dark and intense mood. Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi arrived in matching outfits that really stood out against the white background, instantly drawing everyone’s attention.

Robbie, age 35, turned heads in a striking Schiaparelli gown featuring a sheer lace bodice and a long, flowing black and red train. While the dress itself was eye-catching, the real showstopper was her jewelry: the iconic Cartier Taj Mahal necklace, famously owned by Elizabeth Taylor.

As a movie lover, I was so fascinated to learn the story behind Margot Robbie’s stunning necklace at the premiere! Apparently, it was originally given to Elizabeth Taylor by Richard Burton for her 40th birthday in 1972. Margot and her stylist, Andrew Mukamal, specifically chose it because they wanted her look to feel really special and connected to the film. She felt the necklace’s history made it the perfect, intentional choice for the movie’s dark, gothic vibe. She completed the look with custom diamond earrings and a statement ring from Lorraine Schwartz, and honestly, it all just worked.

Jacob Elordi, 28, chose a strikingly different look, but still made a statement. He wore a completely black suit with black shoes, creating a bold contrast that fit the evening’s mood.

The film stars the actors in the roles of Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, bringing to life one of the most passionate and complicated love stories ever written. Emerald Fennell, who also directed Elordi in Saltburn, is at the helm. She’s called the movie both sensual and full of energy, suggesting a fresh and daring take on the classic 1847 novel.

The film was shot on location in Yorkshire, the same setting as the original story. The actors appeared to have become very close while working together. In a recent interview with Vogue Australia, Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi discussed their connection and revealed a surprising Valentine’s Day experience they shared.

Robbie shared that Jacob Elordi went all out on Valentine’s Day while they were filming. He surprised her with roses and a note, both delivered as if he were his ‘Wuthering Heights’ character, Heathcliff. He even playfully included a tiny fake tombstone with the gift!

Robbie confessed she hadn’t done anything as grand for him. Elordi playfully said he felt like he’d outdone her. Robbie agreed, admitting his gesture was much more impressive. She recalled thinking on Valentine’s Day that he seemed like a really considerate boyfriend because of how thoughtful it was.

Wuthering Heights will be released in cinemas on February 13th, right before Valentine’s Day. The film stars Hong Chau, Shazad Latif, and Alison Oliver, and features an original soundtrack by Charli XCX, giving a contemporary feel to this beloved story.

Both actors have other projects keeping them busy. Margot Robbie is producing several films through her production company, LuckyChap Entertainment, including adaptations of The Sims and Monopoly. Meanwhile, Jacob Elordi is filming Ridley Scott’s The Dog Stars and preparing for the next season of Euphoria.

Emerald Fennell’s latest film, her third as a director, is a reimagining of Wuthering Heights that she describes as both forbidden and deeply meaningful to her. Since its debut, the movie has quickly become a topic of online discussion and disagreement.

Regardless of whether viewers think Robbie and Elordi make a convincing Catherine and Heathcliff, it’s obvious this adaptation of Wuthering Heights isn’t afraid to take risks, and it’s already generating buzz.
