If you're anything like me, you've been excitedly watching the outfits roll in from the Wuthering Heights press tour. Both Margot Robbie and Charli XCX have been providing look after look for us to gush over, from big gowns to teeny corsets.

This press tour follows the general trend for “method dressing” on the red carpet, which is when actors dress on theme for movie premieres and other promotional appearances. While it's garnered criticism for everything from distracting from the movie itself to just being a little… corny, the fact of the matter is that people keep tuning in.

You might be wanting to take some notes from Margot's style. She works with stylist Andrew Mukamal, who also did her famous press tour for Barbie. But most of us aren't exactly in a position to wear sheer dresses braided with hair or gowns with red velvet bustles. Luckily, there are some slightly more wearable options among the daring fashion moments.

One such example is the low-rise jeans look she wore a couple days ago on her London leg of the press tour. Some people are claiming Margot has brought back the low-rise style. That's not exactly true, since Gen Zs have been salivating over '00s style staples like low waists and blinged out tracksuits for years now. But perhaps she is the spokesperson the general public needs for these divisive trousers.

The jeans she wore are by London designer Dilara Findikoglu, embellished with leather straps and coated with a tar-like substance for maximum edginess. If you can't drop £1250 on a pair of jeans (and we don't blame you) here are some alternative options.

Romantic corset

The corset is an important element, as it's the only romantic part of the look and will act as a focal point among all the tough black denim and leather. Opt for pretty patterns like florals and blushy colours like red and pink.

Leather duster

There is something very biker about the black jeans, with their straps and slightly relaxed legs. So, what better style partner than a black leather jacket? You can opt for any style, but a duster provides the drama and movement to really make a statement.

Croc-embossed, pointy heels

Pointy toes peeking out of bootcut jeans is a foolproof formula for a cool silhouette. To look like Margot, opt for a black, croc-embossed pair. They will look equally effective with a low heel, or something slightly higher.

Matrix sunglasses

Matrix-style glasses kind of make sense, considering the leather duster. Opt for oval-shaped, dark lenses with a silver or black rim – this look calls for silver jewellery, not gold, so try to match your hardware where possible.

Gothic bag

The exact bag worn by Margot is the Hysteria Bag, also by Dilara. The original is an eye-watering £3100, so if you can't drop 2-3 months of rent money on a bag, we've got you.
