A Fairytale in Black: Margot Robbie Dazzles in Chanel at the 2024 Pre-Bafta Party
The 2024 Bafta film awards will take place on Sunday, hosted by Doctor Who star David Tennant. The 33-year-old Australian actress wore a glitzy black mini dress to the event and paired the look with a Chanel bag, a bold lip and open toe heels.
As Hollywood royalty gathered for the annual Charles Finch and Chanel pre-Bafta party, all eyes were on Margot Robbie as she captivated in a glittering Chanel LBD and peep-toe heels. Channeling a modern-day Cinderella, the Australian actress and producer floated through the soiree in the French fashion house’s signature quilted mini paired with an ebony sequin trench. With her golden tresses styled in soft Veronica Lake waves and her gaze lined in kohl, Robbie was the belle of the ball.
Margot wore her blonde tresses styled in effortless waves and a bold red lip as the center piece of her makeup. At times, the Australian star was seen wearing a black sequined trench coat. Margot was joined by her producer husband Tom Ackerley.
Making a dramatic entrance with husband and fellow producer Tom Ackerley on her arm, Robbie commanded attention in the thigh-skimming cocktail frock that showcased her lithe frame. Its jet sequins caught the light with her every move, the shimmering tassels at the hem adding a flapper-esque flair. A delicate yet substantial gold cross on a long chain served as her necklace, while a quilted Chanel shoulder bag anchored the look. The perfect final touch came in the form of the open-toed pumps, the stiletto heels elongating her legs for days.
As Robbie held court, the assembled A-list stars faded into the background. Fellow nominees like Brendan Fraser and Ana de Armas paled in comparison to Margot’s high-wattage glamour. While the Barbie movie may have been controversially shut out of the major Oscar categories, Robbie is still one of the most compelling ingenues in the game. In her Chanel LBD, she looked every inch the next Hollywood “It Girl” following in the footsteps of Blake Lively and Keira Knightley.
The 2023 awards season may belong to ingénues like Michelle Yeoh and Cate Blanchett, but Robbie is poised to rule the red carpet with her refined yet fashion-forward style. With Greta Gerwig’s highly anticipated Barbie movie premiering later this year, we expect many more show-stopping Chanel looks to come. On the heels of her scene-stealing turn on the BAFTA red carpet, all we can say is – move over Barbie, Margot is the real doll.
