With a well-earned spot at the epicentre of the entertainment industry, Margot Robbie is uniquely privy to the ebbs and flows of trends and It items, with designers practically pitting themselves against one another to dress her.
Still, after following her style journey for some time now, I can confirm that she's not one to fall blindly for a flash-in-the-pan new-season trend or flaunt a freebie; instead, Robbie has cultivated a considered and elegant capsule wardrobe rotation that relies on timeless staples, whilst making room for the odd element of play.
Stepping out in an ensemble that speaks fluently to her refined styling habits, I spotted her this week in a quietly elevated take on trousers and a tank top. A simple silhouette made chic by a few thoughtful swaps, Robbie played with proportions, selecting a voluminous pair of wide-leg trousers instead of a typical straight-leg pair, which welcomed movement and drama into her outfit.
Now, let’s talk about the shoes. Complementing her trousers perfectly, Robbie opted for a platform heel to quite literally elevate her evening ensemble. Not long pushed aside in favour of sleek kitten heels and pointed-toe styles, platform heels have taken a backseat in recent seasons. But whilst platforms can sometimes feel bulky with certain outfits, they work brilliantly with wide-leg trousers to balance the exaggerated proportions. Between the ribcage trousers and ultra-tall heels, Robbie added inches to her frame, all the while keeping her styling polished and uncomplicated, inspiring me to revisit my forgotten platform heels in the process.
If this shot of her has had the same effect on you, read on to discover the wide-leg trousers and platform heels I recommend you look into this season.
Shop Wide-Leg Trousers and Platform Heels:
Honestly, these look more expensive than they actually are.
One of my favourite pairs of platform heels on the market right now.
The ultra-high-waisted cut gives these such a sleek and polished edge.
The platform detail adds extra height without sacrificing comfort.
The linen composition ensures a breezy, comfortable finish.
Style with long trousers or wear these with a swishy skirt.
With Nothing Underneath's Rampling Trousers are a new favourite of mine.
If you prefer lower heels, this is the pair for you.
I'm banking these ahead of the cooler months.
Whilst I love these in black, they also come in three other shades.
