Margot Robbie Shows How to Make Thigh-High Stockings Fashionable Today
Margot Robbie made a striking fashion statement at a photo call for Wuthering Heights in London on February 4, showcasing her penchant for method dressing with a lingerie-inspired outfit. The ensemble featured a long, patterned green velvet jacket adorned with corseting details and pink furry epaulettes, artfully worn open, reminiscent of a dressing gown.
Under the jacket, Robbie donned a revealing black miniskirt and eye-catching red thigh-high stockings with pink bows tied like garters. She completed her look with silver silk pumps and pearl drop earrings, perfectly aligning with the Victorian boudoir aesthetic.

Interestingly, the thigh-high stockings trend extends beyond period piece promotions. In recent years, thigh-highs, knee socks, and tights worn under shorts have surged in popularity, marking a revival of indie sleaze fashion from the mid-2010s. Highlights from that era include Cara Delevingne, known for her iconic 2014 look featuring knee-high socks.
The resurgence of styles like tights paired with sandals, alongside colorful tights, indicates a shift in fashion sensibilities as we approach 2026. Notably, model Kaia Gerber was seen donning a similar look with thigh-highs and a blazer in all black, aligning with current trends.
Robbie’s outfits for Wuthering Heights consistently draw from the Victorian gothic theme of the film, while also hinting at forward-looking fashion statements that resonate with upcoming trends.
