Margot Robbie has become well known for her red carpet looks, especially how she and her styling team adhere to the theme of whatever she’s promoting.

Amid her highly-anticipated red carpet premieres for Wuthering Heights, she stepped out in what might be her most dramatic look yet, a sheer corset dress with details made to look like braided hair and other natural elements. Although the dress had subtle and meaningful tributes to the story and its author, many internet users felt it wasn’t flattering on her, and even looked “poorly constructed.” Read more about the debated red carpet look below.

Margot Robbie Steps Out For The UK 'Wuthering Heights Premiere' In A Sheer Corset Dress

Romance and pop culture fans have been buzzing over the last few weeks, as there are only days left before the premiere of Wuthering Heights, the latest film adaptation of the famous Emily Brontë romance novel.

Fans have been keeping a close eye on the two lead stars, Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, especially as they step out in red carpet looks that give off the same romantic yet gothic vibes. For the recent UK premiere of the film in London, the Barbie star wore a dress that certainly turned heads.

She stood in a sheer, flesh-colored dress with a structured corset bodice and thin, tulle skirt. Along the dress was a braided, forest green material that almost looked like green braided hair lining it. This makes sense, as she reportedly wore a replica of a 'mourning bracelet' once owned by Emily Brontë's sister, Charlotte, that was made with her and her late sister, Anne's hair.

Margot had her famous blonde locks worn up and back, and had on minimal accessories to let the complex, figure-hugging corset dress and bracelet do all the talking.

Fans React To Margot's Dress On Social Media

After high-quality photos of the mom-of-one at the premier were shared on social media platforms, fans and fashion enthusiasts immediately began weighing in. Although there were some who loved the dress and nod to the story's writer with the bracelet, others felt it was not her best look.

"I don't love it, but I appreciate it," wrote a Reddit user. "As a wearable red carpet look, I don’t really like it."

"She looks like a macrame plant holder," added another.

"I will say, I hope that after this, she goes home and puts on the fluffiest, most comfiest, most coziest jammies and slippers and just relaxes with her favorite beverage," commented a fan. "Because frankly, my dear, that looks uncomfortable as hell."

"The dresses always look like the wearer can’t move a single limb and just generally very poorly constructed and uncomfortable," added another, referring to the dress's designer.
