Actress Margot Robbie, aged 36, has been seen wearing a striking white silk wedding gown during the filming of a new adaptation of Emily Brontë’s classic novel, Wuthering Heights. Robbie portrays Catherine Earnshaw, with Jacob Elordi playing Heathcliff. The film, directed by Emerald Fennell, is scheduled for release on February 13, 2026.
Recent photos from the set show Robbie in a wedding dress featuring a bustier top with puff sleeves and a full, princess-style skirt, complemented by a flowing veil and a bouquet of roses. These images have ignited discussions online, with some fans questioning the historical accuracy of the attire and the casting choices.
Critics have pointed out that in Brontë’s novel, Catherine is a teenager, while Robbie is in her mid-thirties. Similarly, concerns have been raised about Elordi’s portrayal of Heathcliff, a character often interpreted as having a darker complexion, which is significant to the story’s themes of social and racial tension.
Despite the controversy, Robbie’s production company, LuckyChap Entertainment, is backing the film, continuing their collaboration with Fennell after projects like Promising Young Woman and Saltburn.
As filming progresses, audiences remain divided, with some expressing excitement for the adaptation and others voicing skepticism about the creative choices.
