She spent the best part of two years dressed as a plastic doll and a tortured Victorian heroine for the cameras — so when Margot Robbie finally gets a day off, you'd better believe she makes it count. From the cobblestone streets of Naples to a legendary Saint-Tropez beach club, the Australian actress has quietly become one of the most-watched off-duty style icons on the planet. And it all starts with the hair.
The Holiday Wardrobe That Has Fashion Editors Swooning
Robbie's off-duty looks have been sending fashion desks into a collective frenzy, and it's not hard to see why. Spotted at Sydney airport in February 2026, she looked impeccably polished in elevated black separates and Alaïa mesh ballet flats — the kind of departure lounge outfit most of us can only dream of pulling off at 6am. Those same flats reappeared on an Ibiza beach in June 2025, this time paired with a gothic black dress and an oversized Jacquemus Spiaggia raffia bag that was, brilliantly, filled with almost nothing.
La Dolce Vita: Margot Goes Italian
For a July 2025 break in Naples with husband Tom Ackerley, Robbie opted for a show-stopping tapestry dress by designer Kristin Mallison, crafted from a 1970s elephant-print fabric. The couple were photographed soaking up views of Capri and Ischia from the balcony of the Grand Hotel Parker's — a former haunt of Virginia Woolf, no less. Meanwhile, a low-key denim-on-denim moment at the legendary Club 55 in Saint-Tropez earlier in April, complete with a bucket hat and loafers alongside actress pal Phoebe Tonkin, proved she's just as stylish when she's keeping things casual. Reports suggest Robbie has also purchased a home in Braemar, Scotland — conveniently close to the Royal Family's Balmoral Estate.
The Blonde That Wasn't Always the Plan
It might be her most recognisable feature, but Margot Robbie's sun-kissed balayage was never actually her idea. The star, a natural brunette, revealed that the industry pushed her towards lighter locks early in her career. And while she wasn't exactly thrilled at first, time — and a genius colourist — changed everything.
"I was devastated when I [first] had to go blonde. [But] once I was blonde for a couple of years, I ended up loving it." — Margot Robbie, Elle, 2014
The Colourist Behind the Magic
The mastermind responsible for Robbie's enviable shade is celebrity colourist Jacob Schwartz, who revealed to Who What Wear in 2025 that his process involves a meticulous balayage technique followed by a gloss treatment. "At the end, I'll do a gloss treatment, which will blend any greys and soften the root while harmonising everything and tying together the whole look," he explained. The result? A beachy, organic blonde that looks as though she was simply born under a better sun than the rest of us. Whether she's channelling Barbie, Catherine Earnshaw, or just herself on a Naples balcony — Margot Robbie, it's fair to say, has absolutely cracked it.
