Margot Robbie's Met Gala 2026 Gold Dress Took 761 Hours to Craft
Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither was Margot Robbie's Met Gala 2026 dress.
The Wuthering Heights star wore a gold gown while gracing the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 4. But despite the seemingly minimalist design, the dress took 761 hours to make, per Vogue.
The strapless metallic look by Chanel required 1,100 embroidery embellishments. That's mostly thanks to the rows of lamé feathers adorning the back of Margot's dramatic train.
Though Margot's attendance at the Met isn't a given—her last appearance was in 2023—fans have come to understand that Chanel is a safe bet for Margot's designer of choice as a brand ambassador.
Being styled by the French fashion house is always an "honor," the Barbie actress previously told Vogue at the "Karl Lagerfeld: A Line Of Beauty”-themed Met. At the time, Margot rocked a 1993 gown first worn by Cindy Crawford, sharing, "It’s incredible. Obviously, the Met’s always an exciting night, but I had the great privilege of getting to know Karl to a certain extent."
For this year’s “Costume Art” evening, Margot's minimalistic golden ensemble marked a change of pace after her over-the-top Wuthering Heights press tour earlier in 2026. To promote the Emerald Fennell film—co-starring fellow Australian fan favorite Jacob Elordi—Margot wore several show-stopping pieces.
Not the least of which was Elizabeth Taylor's 17th-century Taj Mahal diamond, which Margot gave new life to at the Jan. 28 movie premiere. "It has a pretty incredible history, so we thought it would be nice," Margot told E! News, noting, "Cartier put it on a chain."

That history was, of course, Elizabeth's infamous romance with her on-again-off-again husband of 11 years, Richard Burton.
So while Margot certainly knows her way around iconic jewelry, she also isn't afraid to keep it simple. Margot opted for a clean decolletage when planning for Anna Wintour's "Fashion Is Art" dress code and timeless chandelier diamond earrings.
