In my opinion, Margot Robbie is one of actually very few celebrities who rarely puts a foot wrong when it comes to, well, everything, but particularly her style. Over the last few years, the actress has wowed us with many a red-carpet look, as well as chic off-duty outfits and press trip ensembles that quite frankly, stopped me in my tracks. From an Oscar De La Renta gown at the Once Upon A Time In Hollywood premier that nodded to the 70s, to that barely-there green Bottega Veneta dress worn this week, not to mention countless of dreamy Chanel looks, Robbie and her stylist Kate Young are a fashion force to be reconned with. And this week they’re at it again, with Robbie recently stepping out in the timeless jacket trend loved by French girls: A tweed jacket.
At part of the BAFTA Life in Pictures event, Robbie and Briony Hanson, Director of Film at the British Council, hosted an in-depth discussion of the actress’ career, looking back at her varied filmography to date as well as what’s coming up next for the star. And while I was gripped by the conversation between these two amazing women, I have to admit that it was Robbies’ sensationally good suit that my eye kept wondering back to; For the occasion Robbie wore a black Chanel two-piece comprising of a longline tweed jacket and wide-leg trousers.
Luckily for us, this is a trend we can easily replicate at home. Having already become a firm favourite in myriad of French fashion girls’ wardrobes, tweed jackets have started to filter through to the masses, and are now available in plenty of cuts, colours and price points. Hurray!
One brand which is nailing the look right now is Mango. Take a look at their site and you’ll find an impressive collection of tweed blazers, cropped styles and bright, fun iterations as well as plenty of inspo on how to style the trend. I’ll be wearing mine with a t-shirt and jeans, swapping my heeled-ankle boots for heels come evening, but you could also wear your tweed of choice with wide-leg trousers à la Robbie, with a slip skirt or dress, and with leather trousers for a cool mix of textures.
