Margot Robbie embraced a “bigger is better” mentality for her latest look, except when it came down to footwear.
On October 17, the 35-year-old actor and constant source of denim inspo was spotted meeting up with her Wuthering Heights costar Jacob Elordi at The Bird Streets Club in West Hollywood, California. In new photos shared by DeuxMoi, both actors wore blue jackets with light-wash baggy denim and large bags, though Robbie truly maximized the impact of her look with XL jeans, an oversized navy leather trench coat, and truly capacious brown woven carryall. Even Robbie’s silk and lace top added extra volume with ruffles spilling over her loose-fitting jeans.
She couldn’t have strayed further from the popular “big pants, tiny top” styling technique, opting for oversized proportions at every opportunity until it was time to choose a pair of shoes. Instead of finishing off the look with a chunky fall boot, she stepped out in a pair of dainty ballet flats. And when I say ballet flats, I mean the pink satin kind that actually look like they were made for the stage. You can see the photos here.
MiuMiu practically declared the satin ballet flat the it-fall shoe back in 2022, sending models down the runway in various color combos of their dainty flats with warm chunky socks. This fall, however, similar styles are only increasing in popularity, popping up all over street-style photos and being sold in many variations, from more traditional designs to athletic sneaker hybrids like the ones beloved by Bella Hadid.
So, what’s the worst thing that can happen if you pair your baggiest denim with some dainty satin flats this fall? Perhaps the hem of your jeans fray against the rough city pavement. Honestly, that’s a cool look in and of itself. Go on and give it a try. Margot Robbie dares you.
