Margot Robbie’s hybrid pants break all the rules

BACKGROUND GRID

This summer seems to be one of redefining the possibilities of simple trousers: from the return of capris and original cargos to the sudden arrival of “skants,” the only faux pas is going out in standard attire. Last night in Los Angeles, Margot Robbie got the message and wore a piece that mixed masculine tuxedo trousers with a kimono-style wrap skirt.

Robbie attended model Cara Delevingne’s 33rd birthday celebration at the Chateau Marmont, alongside Kaia Gerber, her Wuthering Heights co-star Jacob Elordi, and Julia Fox. The Barbie actress kicked off her look with a high-necked tank top that hit just above her waist. Robbie paired her crop top with tapered black pants, which featured a belt-inspired closure and dramatic pleats along the legs. Considering that Delevingne herself wore a black suit with a corset for the party, Robbie’s modern tuxedo pants were perfectly

From there, Robbie kept her accessories simple and refined. She opted for black open-toe heels, a structured crossbody bag, and tousled blonde hair. Perhaps a refined ode to Delevingne’s laid-back style?

Robbie, who welcomed her first child with husband Tom Ackerley late last year, arrived in Los Angeles after a stylish European summer. In early July, she kicked off her tour in Ibiza, sporting a selection of resort-worthy outfits, including a sheer sarong and a chocolate brown wrap dress—the latter she wore to her 35th birthday dinner. She then traveled to Naples, Italy, where she had a “Dolce Vita” moment in a reimagined vintage tapestry dress. Throughout her travels, she’s worn only one shoe: Alaïa’s fishnet ballet flats. From her birthday outfit to her guests’ looks at Delevingne’s party, Robbie has proven she has the elegance to suit the theme and the moment. After all, she’s the one who made method dressing an art.
