Margot Robbie, 35, drew attention in a tiny strapless little black dress as she visited New York hotspots on Monday while continuing promotion for her new film, A Big Bold Beautiful Journey.
The actress arrived at The Mulberry in Manhattan in a corset-style strapless dress paired with strappy heels and an envelope clutch, her hair pulled into a neat updo. Photographs taken during the outing show Robbie stopping for food at The Corner Store before moving on to the cocktail bar.
Robbie has been in New York promoting the film with co-star Colin Farrell. A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, which opens Sept. 19, marks Robbie’s first major project since 2023’s Barbie, which she both starred in and produced through her LuckyChap company. Barbie topped domestic box office receipts with $636.2 million and worldwide with $1.445 billion.
The film follows Sarah (Robbie) and David (Farrell), who meet at a mutual friend’s wedding and discover a mysterious door in the woods that serves as a portal to their pasts. As they pass through, they relive central memories, including David’s unrequited love and Sarah’s recollection of her mother’s death. Sony Pictures released the first trailer for the film in June.
A Big Bold Beautiful Journey also features Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Hamish Linklater, Lily Rabe, Billy Magnussen and Jodie Turner-Smith. Robbie has described the script as "exquisite" and said it felt "very original, magical and romantic," adding that she wanted to make a love story and joking that she would "obviously love to do a love story with Colin Farrell."
Robbie returned to the red carpet last week in a corset-style black-and-white dress for the film’s premiere in New York. The outing this week follows a period of time away from public events; she took time off last year and has since returned to work after the birth of her son. Speaking previously about motherhood, Robbie said it can be difficult to explain the experience to someone who has not had children and described it simply as "the best."
Footage released in June drew early praise from some viewers, with portions of the internet calling the movie a potential contender for the year’s best. The film’s promotion in New York has included press appearances and red-carpet events featuring both Robbie and Farrell as they prepare for the wide release.
Robbie’s continued visibility in fashion and film promotion underscores her profile as both an actor and a producer. A Big Bold Beautiful Journey will be widely released Sept. 19, when audiences will see whether the buzz generated by trailer reactions and festival appearances translates into broader reception at the box office and among critics.
