Margot Robbie adopted a low-key look over the weekend, arriving at New York’s JFK Airport in a baseball cap and jeans as she continued promotional appearances for her new film, A Big Bold Beautiful Journey.
The 35-year-old actor was photographed touching down on Friday alongside her younger brother, Cameron, and carried two suitcases as she left the terminal. Robbie wore a cropped black top, a khaki-green overshirt and chunky vintage Celine boots, with a navy New York Yankees cap partly concealing her hair. She was later seen leaving a taxi and stopping at a burger restaurant in the city.
The casual appearance followed a series of more revealing red-carpet outfits Robbie has worn while promoting the film. On Thursday she attended a screening in a sheer Armani Privé couture gown from the SS25 collection that was heavily embellished with crystals and sequins and featured an open back. Photographs from the event showed the dress revealed a minimal undergarment and exposed significant skin at the sides and back.
Robbie’s daring wardrobe choices have drawn mixed reactions online. On Reddit’s r/popculture, some users criticized the prevalence of sheer gowns, with one poster calling them “lazy shock design.” Other commenters questioned whether the revealing look detracted from the dress’s detailing, and several wrote that Robbie appeared uncomfortable. At the same time, supporters praised her appearance, with some observers applauding her figure and confidence after returning to the public eye following the birth of her son.
The sheer-gown moment was part of a broader trend at recent premieres; actress Dakota Johnson also appeared at events in a revealing lace gown that exposed undergarments, prompting comparisons between the two actors’ red-carpet styling. Robbie has alternated such statements with other vintage and lingerie-inspired looks, including a Mugler outfit worn at a London photocall and a plunging neckline for a BBC Radio One appearance during a brief promotional tour in the U.K.
Robbie’s return to red carpets comes as A Big Bold Beautiful Journey prepares to premiere in cinemas this week. Publicity for the film has included screenings, photocalls and interviews across multiple cities, and the actor has balanced those commitments with off-duty moments in New York. Cameron Robbie, 30, accompanied her at the airport and kept a similarly casual profile.
Photographers and fashion observers have noted the contrast between Robbie’s off-duty streetwear and her more theatrical red-carpet ensembles. Industry commentators say such contrasts are a longtime element of celebrity promotion, where relaxed travel attire coexists with carefully styled evening looks for premieres and press events. Robbie’s recent choices have reignited conversations about the role of sheer and revealing garments in contemporary red-carpet fashion, with responses reflecting a range of tastes and comfort levels among viewers.
As the film opens, Robbie is expected to continue appearances in support of the release. Her promotional schedule and choice of outfits are likely to remain a focus for fashion media and fans watching the rollout.
