Margot Robbie is the kind of celebrity whose presence we enjoy in bursts. Rather than treating us to a daily outing, Robbie’s excursions comes in clusters, typically bookending major events in her calendar. Luckily for us—and our inspiration boards, last night Robbie attended the Gotham Independent Film Awards in New York, and subsequently treated us to several chic off-duty looks in between.
Before her evening appearance, Robbie stepped out in a look that garnered even more attention within the Who What Wear UK office than her red carpet outfit did. Ahead of the curve, the actress was spotted styling one of the major denim trends that we’ve identified for 2024: Floor-length puddle jeans. Concealing her black shoes, Robbie’s mid-wash puddle jeans added a casual tinge to her wool-blazer outfit, allowing her look to toe-the-line of smart casual for an elevated take on weekday styling.
For a brisk New York afternoon, Robbie styled several light layers that kept her outfit looking both fresh and cosy. Beginning with a white T-shirt, the actress layered over a white cotton button-down shirt, which she styled underneath a longline wool blazer. Topping it off, Robbie styled her outfit with Bottega Veneta’s woven shoulder bag and narrow tortoise shell sunglasses. Following its release, Bottega Veneta’s woven shoulder bag quickly rose to cult status, garnering love from fashion editors and celebrities alike. Several seasons on, and many of our favourite high-street brands have perfected their iterations, offering the in-demand silhouette at a range of price points. Whilst we’re taken by so many of the styles, we keep coming back to a particularly compelling version from high-street hero Anthropologie.
This perfectly slouchy shoulder bag comes in five different colours.
For it’s supple, sinuous silhouette, the small shoulder bag sits on the wish lists of so many style-insiders and has commanding a cult following of its own. While I always advocate buying the original in any design that you can afford to, I do appreciate that your budget may not stretch to Bottega proportions. This is where Anthropologie’s style comes in to play.
