Margot Robbie’s Windswept Waves Whisper “Dark Romance”

Please bear with me while I search for the right word. Is it yearning? Swooning? Obsessing? Whatever it is, it’s not enough to encapsulate the extent of what I feel when I look at Margot Robbie‘s recent Wuthering Heights-inspired hairstyle. The actor-producer recently made an appearance at Jimmy Kimmel Live to promote her new film ahead of its February 14 release. Her gothic-looking Alexander McQueen dress was stunning, but as a beauty editor, I couldn’t take my eyes off her long, windswept waves.

As the queen of the press-tour theme (we mustn’t forget her iconic string of vintage Barbie looks in the summer of 2023), I shouldn’t be surprised that Robbie is adopting a romantic, gothic-inspired aesthetic. Still, her tousled, pinned-up waves look like they’d be right at home on Emily Brontë’s beloved Yorkshire moors, and I absolutely love it. Ahead, see the unexpected hair tool I’m using to re-create this darkly romantic look.

Here’s a better look at Robbie’s long, windswept waves, created by celebrity hairstylist Bryce Scarlett. Her hair is normally shiny, sleek, and cropped at her collarbone, yet it seems she’s embracing a more romantic look for the Wuthering Heights press tour. I think this new era suits her, and I’m dying to re-create the look on Valentine’s Day and beyond.

I snapped this picture after using Amika’s High Tide Deep Wave Hair Crimper for the first time a couple of years ago. I was instantly obsessed, and I’ve continued to use it semi-consistently ever since. Now that I’ve seen Robbie’s “Wuthering Heights” look, I’ll be using it all the time.
