Margot Robbie is hot on the Wuthering Heights promo trail right now, which means she is treating fans to one sartorial hit after another.

Although she (or her stylist, rather!) has been slammed for one or two questionable looks over the past few months, most of her outfits have been super-winners with her fans. But the outfit she wore to the BBC studios in London has been dividing the internet, with some fans thinking she looks incredible, and others fearing that her look means that one of the most controversial items of clothing from 20 years ago is coming back…

Margot Robbie Wears Low-Rise Leather Pants And A Teeny Tiny Corset Top In London

On February 4th, the 35-year-old Big Bold Beautiful Journey star appeared on BBC Radio 1 in a Y2K-inspired outfit consisting of low-rise leather trousers, a teeny tiny floral corset top, and an oversized leather jacket. Check it out here.

She accessorized with some small sunglasses – another staple from the early 2000s – and wore her hair in a center-parted down do.

The Barbie alum’s fans couldn’t deny how incredible she looked, and how toned and sculpted her abs were. But many others were filled with concern about low-rise jeans and low-rise pants in general that were loved by so many A-listers in the early 00’s making a comeback, as we all know they are not for the faint hearted, and nowhere near as flattering and forgiving as the beloved high-waisted, baggy, or cigarette pants. 

Social Media Thinks Margot Robbie Looks Incredible, But Fears For The Return Of Low-Rise Pants

"This Barbie is on another level," gushed one fan on Instagram, followed by five heart eyes emojis. "The vibes from this press tour are giving me life," echoed a second, followed by the red heart emoji.

"Oh my goodness she looks so good," raved a third, followed by the heart eyes emoji, as a fourth said they "love the outfit" and a fifth called her a "beautiful woman."

"It's giving Britney Spears 'I'm not a girl, not yet a woman' vibes," noted a sixth, as a seventh asked: "Low rise? What year is it?" Many others loved the nostalgic low-rise pants look on the mom-of-one, but reiterated that they wouldn't wear it themselves…

"Love Margot Robbie... but we are not going back to low rise pants for women," declared an eighth, as a ninth suggested: "Stock up on high rise jeans while you can. It's an epidemic."

"All very well If you are Margot Robbie," added a tenth, as an eleventh added: "She could wear a paper bag and look fantastic. If I wore this, I'd look like I was having a breakdown."
