Margot Robbie proved she can make even the most casual look runway-ready as she took to the streets during Wednesday’s SAG-AFTRA rally. The Barbie star, 33, was a vision in an oversized white tee, putting her own stylish spin on the protest uniform. With her signature blonde locks flowing freely and chic sunnies shielding her eyes, Margot commanded attention as she proudly held her poster high during the march from Netflix to Paramount Studios.
The Australian beauty was joined by fellow Aussie actress and friend Samara Weaving, who sported a similarly laidback look of green shorts and a white cap. But all eyes were on Margot as she led the pack of protestors through West Hollywood in her effortlessly cool white kicks.
Margot and her fellow actors are currently united with the Writers Guild in the first “double strike” the entertainment industry has seen in over 60 years. The united front is aiming to get more equitable pay and protect workers from being replaced by AI, among other important issues. Read more...
Geez, people. Feminine magazines have always been like this. Everyone knows that we women are incapable of caring about or understanding anything except clothes, diets, and home decor, so we must appeal to these interests rather than talking about this difficult boring stuff like writers' strike. What exactly do these writers do anyway? Why are they striking rather than writing? It sounds boring. Please tell me more about Margot's outfit, which I will wear after losing 50lb.
Well you see what happened was she was given the exact same t-shirt that everyone else has on, and then she put it on. I'm not sure we'll be able to successfully recreate such magic.
Yeah, if anything we should be praising a fashion blog for talking about the strike rather than criticizing an article about the strike for talking about fashion.
You can tell because it's all shallow bullshit. Who reads this stuff?
If a journalist from an actual outlet decided for some reason that they were going to write about what she was wearing they would at least include some news context, but this fashion article seems to assume that everything that happens in the world basically is only there to be a backdrop to what people are wearing. It's really weird.
I haven't been particularly following the strikes but just scrolling on here I had seen you mention your support for it somewhere.
It's weird reading this person praising what I assume to be a free t-shirt on par with the ones they give away for running a 5k as a fashion statement.
Hi, local blonde woman pictured wearing a T-shirt here. Since everyone's still here right now, a reminder again to loudly and proudly show your support to unions, strikes, and worker's right in every industry. Every little bit counts.
This is a time for real change, it's a matter of fighting for our survival. Do not fall into despair, because we can win, and despair is the enemy of progress.
After checking your account I'm thoroughly confused. Either this is a novelty account that takes itself really, really seriously, or you're the actual actress, but that just doesn't compute.
Reminds me of years ago I joined the Counter-Strike server and ended up playing against Seth Rogen. Like, it was actually the dude... There was just no way that you could fake that laugh. And then he started talking about doing the ads for the Vancouver Metro which was really strange...
For a while I didn't really believe it was him, but I added him as a friend anyway and later it turned out it was him so... That's kind of funny.
I came to this thread to see if you were here. ;-)
Reminder that you can buy tshirts from union groups to help support their members. Some of them have kickass art designs. I have three, so far. Starbucks, Rail, and Trucks. UPS placard in the window, too.
There hasn't been a moment like this in our lifetimes (unless you are literally 100yo). This is super exciting. Support unions on strike. Whether that's buying a shirt, honking your horn, displaying a placard, standing or marching with them, honking your horn, donating money or food or coffee or water, etc. There's a power dynamic shift taking place. Let's see it through!
I had it put into perspective by a friend who has been impacted by streaming (lack of) residuals. They were seeing something like 98% reduction in income from a project, despite wider reach. Absolutely crazy how much you folks are being robbed. And that's before use of AI/ML to try to replace people with plagiarized pieces of past works.
I supported the strikes before but the understanding of the magnitude of impact that is already being felt is shocking and makes me support it doubly so. Keep rocking and fighting for your rights and those of your fellow workers!
I’m tempted to say that if I was a wealthy actor I could take a year off too.
But I actually think this is a pretty significant move for her. She is at the top of her game right now and female actors don’t have a very long window of time where they can stay there. This strike is eating directly into her career prime after she won the 1-in-a-zillion lottery to even make it to that point. And she’s potentially pissing off the studio bosses by doing this, so even if the strike ends she may not be able to resume where she left off.
That all means Margot Robbie is potentially sacrificing one of the sweetest, most lucrative careers in the world to support the Labor movement and show solidarity to her coworkers.
I think mad is the wrong word. Disappointed is probably more accurate. She clearly isn't dressed in a way to draw attention to herself, let alone for a fashion piece about it. It's about the strike, and they barely mentioned it.
Yes, but you know what I mean. That the way article used it implied a different meaning, similar as if I (not involved in film or TV), picked up a sign and marched with them.
In depth article there. Concentrating on the thorny issue of workers rights by leading off with a painstaking description of what Margot Robbie is dressed in and how pretty she is.
