Margot Robbie Dazzles In Elizabeth Taylor'S Iconic Necklace At 'Wuthering Heights' Premiere

Margot Robbie's Red Carpet Tribute

Diamonds are forever – and so are some epic love stories. At the star-studded premiere of her latest project, Margot Robbie sparkled in tribute to Hollywood royalty by wearing Elizabeth Taylor's famed Cartier Taj Mahal necklace. This stunning piece, gifted to Taylor by her then-husband Richard Burton on her 40th birthday in 1972, has a history as dazzling as its diamonds.

Margot, the Australian actress, shared her thoughts with Access Hollywood, drawing a parallel between Burton and Taylor's tumultuous relationship and the intense dynamics between her character and Jacob Elordi's in the film. "There's something kind of Cathy and Heathcliff about Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor in my mind, so it felt appropriate," she explained.

“It's crazy," she said of being able to wear the necklace. "I remember when I talked with Andrew, my stylist, about what I was going to wear tonight, he was like, 'I feel like you need to be wearing the equivalent of the [Titanic necklace] Heart of the Ocean, so anyways, I feel like this is the real-life equivalent of the Heart of the Ocean. And the history of the necklace is amazing."

The Necklace with a Legendary Past

The necklace is more than just a piece of jewelry; it's a piece of history. According to a release from Taylor's estate, the pendant's surface bears an inscription in Parsee that reads, "Love is Everlasting," along with the name of Nur Jahan, the first woman to receive the jewel from her husband, Mughal Emperor, Shah Jahangir. This diamond's journey from the Mughal empire to Elizabeth Taylor's collection is steeped in centuries-old symbolism, making it one of the most historically significant pieces in her legendary collection.

Completing her red carpet look, Robbie adorned herself with custom 38-carat Lorraine Schwartz diamond earrings made of vintage old-cut stones set in blackened bronze and gold, a Fred Leighton ring, and a dramatic, form-fitting Schiaparelli gown.

Wuthering Heights: A Fresh Take

The film, a reimagining of Emily Brontë's classic Gothic novel, dives into the doomed romance of Catherine and Heathcliff. Director Emerald Fennell has put her unique spin on the story, cautioning fans not to expect a faithful adaptation. "The thing is that it's my favorite book in the world," she told The Hollywood Reporter. "All I could do was make a movie that made me feel the way the book made me feel, and therefore it just felt right to say it's Wuthering Heights, and it isn't."

The film is set to hit theaters on Valentine's Day, February 14, promising a fresh take on a timeless tale, adding yet another layer of drama to the already iconic storyline.
