Margot Robbie Trades a 2026 Oscars Dress for a "Controversial" Color Combination
She went to the movies in a wallet-friendly find.
Margot Robbie was noticeably absent from the 2026 Oscars, despite her Wuthering Heights co-star, Jacob Elordi, clinching a Best Supporting Actor nomination for Frankenstein. She didn't desert L.A.'s street style scene, though. On March 16, Robbie traded the Dolby Theatre for The Grove's AMC. Her plus-one? A "controversial" color combination for Spring 2026.
The Oscar nominee caught a late-night showing of Ready Or Not 2 just five miles South of the Academy Awards red carpet. She dressed for the city's heatwave in a strapless, thigh-grazing mini from With Jéan. The Australian label's best-seller was easy-breezy in every sense of the phrase, from an elasticized neckline to a bubble-hem skirt and grommeted belt. She paired it with Khaite's $1,580 Western-inspired, ankle boots in black, lived-in leather.
An oversize leather bomber jacket from Petar Petrov, however, introduced a new shade to Robbie's color story: warm-toned, chestnut brown. Last week, Marie Claire reported seeing similar duos on Spring 2026 runways from Versace, Kallmeyer, and Coach.

Margot Robbie traded the 2026 Oscars red carpet for a LBD and a movie.
You may recognize the Luca Dress's silver belt motif from other celebrity waists, including Charli xcx. Perhaps the brat singer put With Jéan on her radar after they worked together on Wuthering Heights: Last summer, Charli walked an I Love L.A. red carpet in the label's similar, $239 Magnol Dress.
Charli xcx is also a fan of With Jéan's grommet-embellished dresses.
A few months earlier, Dua Lipa shared an Instagram Stories snap of her $189 With Jéan Gabriella Dress. Its asymmetrical hem is slightly longer than Robbie and Charli's, but the slouchy eyelet belt and buckle remained.
With Jéan's celebrity takeover even reached Dua Lipa's closet.
Not only did Robbie just board the With Jéan bandwagon, but she's the latest star to pull off black and brown together. The unlikely color combination started picking up steam during early February's award season circuit. At a pre-Academy Awards luncheon, Oscar nominee Rose Byrne tucked a cool-toned chocolate top into high-rise black trousers. A few days later, Myha'la tested it at an Industry screening with an off-the-shoulder stole and lacy midi skirt.
Rose Byrne pulled off black-and-brown with ease.
A few days later, Myha'la followed suit.
Keke Palmer picked up where Byrne left off at the Hermès Fall 2026 fashion show. She layered a sepia-colored button-down underneath a cropped black leather jacket. Even her pointy pumps got the chocolate memo. Most recently on March 13, Victoria Pedretti promoted Forbidden Fruits in a velvet, off-the-shoulder noir top and a chocolate, drop-waist tulle skirt.
Keke Palmer gave the color combination a proper Fashion Month close-up.
It fit into Victoria Pedretti's press tour style perfectly.
