Margot Robbie paid an unusual and historically specific tribute to the Brontë sisters at the UK premiere of Wuthering Heights on Thursday, appearing in London wearing a replica bracelet modeled after a 175-year-old mourning piece made from the sisters’ hair, as reported by Page Six.
The actress walked the wildflower-lined red carpet wearing a Dilara Findikoglu corset gown featuring faux blond braids and paired the look with Manolo Blahnik heels.
While the gown drew attention, it was the bracelet on Robbie’s left wrist that became the focal point of the evening.

The bracelet is a replica of a mourning bracelet originally commissioned by Charlotte Brontë after the deaths of her sisters, Emily and Anne Brontë. Emily Brontë, the author of Wuthering Heights, died in December 1848, and Anne Brontë followed five months later in May 1849.
After their deaths, Charlotte Brontë arranged for their hair to be woven together into a bracelet as a memorial.

Mourning jewelry dates back to the 16th century but became especially widespread during the Victorian era. Such items — including rings, bracelets, pendants, and brooches — were often made to commemorate deceased loved ones and frequently incorporated hair.
Charlotte Brontë is believed to have worn the original bracelet daily.
The piece is finished with a gold clasp set with garnets and has been owned by the Brontë Parsonage Museum since 1923.

Robbie’s replica bracelet was produced by Wyedean Weaving, a fourth-generation, family-owned manufacturer based in West Yorkshire. The company operates out of Haworth, the village where the Brontë sisters lived.
Rebecca Yorke, director of the Brontë Parsonage Museum, addressed the collaboration in a press release.
“The [Brontë Parsonage Museum] holds the world’s largest collections of Brontë manuscripts, clothing, and personal possessions, and we take our responsibility as custodians extremely seriously,” Yorke said.
“This event has offered us an unprecedented opportunity to share an item from our collection and tell its story with a global and contemporary audience, and we are delighted that, thanks to director Emerald Fennell, Margot Robbie and everyone involved with the film, Emily Brontë and her masterpiece continue to be part of popular culture almost 200 years after her death.”
Robbie’s outfit extended the historical reference beyond the bracelet.
The gown was constructed from sheer silk chiffon and featured a fully boned corset bodice. Golden braids ran throughout the design, echoing the woven hair of the mourning jewelry.
The synthetic hair used in the dress was hand-dyed to match the Brontë sisters’ hair as closely as possible.

Around her neck, Robbie wore a braided choker that mirrored the structure of the bracelet.
Additional jewelry was selected in coordination with stylist Andrew Mukamal, with pieces from Jessica McCormack, including garnet, diamond, and pearl earrings, along with a four-carat ruby ring.
Robbie also wore two archival Boucheron brooches — one from 1900 and another from 1920 — each set with red stones, completing the ensemble.
The appearance tied the film’s literary roots directly into the premiere’s visual presentation, linking 19th-century history with a modern red-carpet event.
