Margot Robbie Brings Crimped Waves Back to the Spotlight

When it comes to setting trends, Margot Robbie is no stranger to the top of the list. During her recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on January 26, Robbie stunned the audience, not just with her talent, but with a hairstyle that's become the talk of Los Angeles. The actor, who was there to promote her upcoming film, Wuthering Heights, sported a look that screamed dark romance – a perfect match for the classic novel’s vibe.

A Bold Departure from Classic Hollywood Waves

Robbie’s choice was a refreshing break from the usual polished Hollywood waves, often seen on red carpets these days. Decked out in a sheer black lace Alexander McQueen dress, Robbie’s hairstyle was the real show-stealer. With extra-long, crimped waves styled half-up and face-framing pieces, she channeled the windswept aura of the Yorkshire moors. "This look is all about embracing imperfections," one stylist from Beverly Hills shared, "and it’s more relatable to SoCal’s laid-back vibe."

Creating the Perfect Windswept Look

Her trusted stylist, Bryce Scarlett, gave fans a closer peek on Instagram, showcasing the intricate details of Robbie's waist-length waves paired with a striking ruby choker. Close-ups reveal an S-curl pattern reminiscent of traditional Hollywood waves, but with a distinct, unblended definition. The casual, yet chic look is all about enhancing the hair's natural texture – something any LA local can appreciate, especially during those Malibu beach days.

Get the Look

For those inspired to recreate Robbie's crimped waves, it’s easier than it looks. Embrace your inner 90s child by letting your hair air-dry in braids before adding definition with a curling iron or a three-barrel waver. To nail that seaside texture, a good spritz of sea salt spray is a must. And if you're aiming for that fairytale finish, try a half-up twist secured with no-show bobby pins.

Grace McCarty, the associate beauty editor at Glamour, originally shared these styling tips, offering an approachable way for anyone to try out Robbie’s iconic look. While the waves themselves may be a look from the past, Margot Robbie’s take is all about bringing a fresh twist into the limelight.
