So desperate is culture to see a pregnant famous person in the wild, that most of the photos taken of Margot Robbie over the past couple of weeks seem to have been taken on a heliograph. The actress has been enjoying one last super-yacht in Sardinia before welcoming her little one and the blurred images that have emerged online have made Robbie look as though she was on a most-wanted list.
But the actress last night returned to Los Angeles–where citizens are never more than six feet from a step-and-repeat–to promote the new film she and husband Tom Ackerley have produced. My Old Ass is a coming-of-age movie starring Maisy Stella and Aubrey Plaza, and centers on a teenage girl who takes mushrooms and meets an older version of herself, who has been left embittered by a string of failed romances. Robbie posed on the red carpet in a draped jersey dress and some strappy stilettos.

Plaza did not make an appearance, but Stella managed to conjure a sisterhood of her own. She wore a Simone Rocha dress that first debuted in the designer’s spring 2024 collection–where fresh flowers were bunched between layers of sheer tulle to evoke the idea of bouquets being thrown to ballerinas—and has since taken on an intense presence on the red carpet and in magazine editorials. See: Carrie Bradshaw, Chioma Nnadi, Rosamund Pike, Kristine Froseth, and Bel Powley, who have all worn some iteration of that fragrant frock. Consider it this season’s equivalent to the threadbare Miu Miu skirt…or the dreaded Zara polka dot dress of 2019.
