Margot Robbie is an Australian actress and producer. Already a Chanel brand ambassador, Robbie’s lead role in the blockbuster “Barbie” movie, and her fashion choices during the promotional tour ahead of the film’s release, cemented her status as a pop-culture and style icon.
An Australian native, Robbie began acting in high school, getting her break as Donna Freedman on the television soap “Neighbours.” After three years on the show, she moved to the US in 2011, getting her big break as part of Martin Scorsese’s “Wolf of Wall Street” in 2013. A short but memorable appearance as herself in “The Big Short” – explaining the concept of subprime mortgages from a bubble bath – showed off her comedic chops.
Robbie’s take on Harley Quinn in DC Comic’s 2016 “Suicide Squad” film ratcheted her fame to new heights. In 2017, she was named by Time as one of the 100 most influential people in the world. Performances in films “I, Tonya” (2017) and “Bombshell” (2019) garnered Academy Award nominations.
In 2018, Robbie was named as Chanel’s latest ambassador, the last to be chosen by Karl Lagerfeld before his death in February 2019, appearing in custom and vintage Chanel at the Academy Awards, the Met Gala and other high-profile events.
But Robbie’s unmistakable influence on pop culture reached fever pitch in the summer of 2023 with the “Barbie” movie, which she both starred in and co-produced. The Greta Gerwig-directed film grossed over $1 billion worldwide, making it Robbie’s biggest box office hit to date.
