Margot Robbie ditches Barbie for grunge style makeover at Chateau Marmont
The Australian 34-year-old was spotted heading inside the Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood on Monday looking leggy in a black sweater and matching mini-skirt.
Margot - who relies on stylist Andrew Mukamal - accessorized her all-black attire with a $1,250 Acne Studios 'Leather Buckle' boots and a $2,950 Alaïa 'Le Teckel' goatskin bag.
Robbie was also dressed in all-black last Saturday while taking the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, a private luxury train service from London to Venice.
And one week ago, the three-time Oscar nominee modeled an all-black Chanel skirt set during a photo shoot in Malibu.
Speaking of Barbie, Margot and her husband Tom Ackerley reupholstered a few $3,195 Saarinen pink armchairs from the set in order to decorate the LA office of their production company LuckyChap Entertainment.
'The chairs are actually in the Barbie movie when you're in the Mattel CEO office and all the Mattel guys are sitting around on the pink chairs,' Robbie told Architectural Digest on Tuesday.
'We just had them reupholstered, because at the end of the movie — I mean, they were quite expensive, actually — I was like, "Wait, what's going to happen to these chairs?"'
The inseparable married couple of eight years co-founded LuckyChap with their friends Josey McNamara and Sophia Kerr in 2014 - the same year they began dating.
Margot and the 34-year-old Englishman welcomed their first child - a son - on October 17.
The Papa Salt co-founders originally met in 2013 when he was working as third AD on the Belgium set of her Lifetime movie Suite Française, which wasn't released until 2017.
Last month, Robbie wrapped her role as Catherine Earnshaw in Emerald Fennell's big-screen adaptation of Emily Brontë's 1847 novel Wuthering Heights, which is already scheduled to hit US/UK theaters February 13.
Fans of the book were angered over the casting of the Chanel No. 5 stunner as the blushing bride, who was originally written as being 19-20 years old and dark haired.
Others were angered about Catherine's white glittery wedding gown, which would not exist in 1801 when the Gothic psychological drama is set.

But even more Wuthering Heights traditionalists were outraged over the white-wash casting of Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff, a 'dark-skinned' orphan found in Liverpool who was supposed to have Romani, African, or South Asian origins.
Casting director Kharmel Cochrane raised even more eyebrows casting Shazad Latif as aristocrat Edgar Linton and Hong Chau as housekeeper Nelly, prejudiced characters who discriminate against Heathcliff.
'There was one Instagram comment that said the casting director should be shot,' Kharmel told Deadline last month.
'But just wait till you see it, and then you can decide whether you want to shoot me or not. But you really don't need to be accurate. It's just a book. That is not based on real life. It's all art.'
Cochrane added: 'Wait until you see the set design because that is even more shocking. And there may or may not be a dog collar in it.'
But first, audiences can next catch Margot as Sarah in Kogonada's drama A Big Bold Beautiful Journey - hitting US/UK theaters September 19 - alongside Colin Farrell, Lily Rabe, Jodie Turner-Smith, and Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

Brad Pitt reveals ONLY two women have left him starstruck (and it wasn't Jennifer Aniston or Angelina Jolie)
Brad Pitt revealed that only two women have ever left him starstruck. While appearing on Wednesday's episode of the New Heights podcast with Jason and Travis Kelce, the F1 actor, 61, divulged the names of the two actresses that truly took his breath away. 'When I first met Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon, I was. Yeah,' the two-time Oscar winner admitted of feeling initially starstruck around his former Thelma & Louise costars. He continued: 'I got over it quickly, though.' Pitt's role in the 1991 film, Thelma & Louise, propelled him to stardom as the charming and charismatic hitchhiker, J.D., who sleeps with Thelma (Davis), before stealing her money and vanishing. Previously, the father-of-six praised Davis for being 'so sweet and kind and delicate' during their sex scene during an interview with W Magazine in 2023. 'That love scene, I think, went on for two days of shooting. She took care of me,' he told the publication. Despite still establishing his name in Hollywood, at the time, Sarandon said the then-rising star 'really impressed' her with 'his sense of humor' in addition to 'his good looks and great body.' 'I thought, "Ah, this guy's interesting, you know, he's not just a really gorgeous face,"' she told Extra in 2021. The Dead Man Walking went on to note that Pitt has 'continued to push the envelope' throughout his career. During his interview with the Kelce brothers, Pitt shared his love for Travis' team, the Kansas City Chiefs. This prompted Taylor Swift's boyfriend, Travis, 35, to apologize for their Super Bowl loss. 'We got you this year. I let you down,' the tight end told the actor. Pitt replied that hardships were 'what makes sports movies so special.' 'That's what I mean about life. Life throws struggles your way. Sometimes everything goes quiet, it's perfection, it's sublime. Other periods, life throws these struggles at you and it's how you deal with those and how you come back from those,' Pitt explained. On the same episode of the New Heights podcast, Travis confessed to his brother and listeners that he was too starstruck to 'figure out how to ask questions.' Although Pitt refrained from going into any specifics about his personal life, the star recently opened up about needing to 'wake the f**k up' and getting sober while appearing on Dax Shepard's Armchair Expert podcast, last week. During their chat, Pitt spoke about attending AA meetings and 'trying anything and everything' to turn his life around following his split from Jolie, 50. ''It was a difficult time. I needed rebooting,' he shared. While attending AA, Pitt said he felt nervous about speaking and was inspired by 'everyone [being] so open' about their experiences. 'It gives you permission to go, "OK, I'm gonna step out on this edge and see what happens,"' he explained. 'And then I really grew to love it.' Pitt went on to praise Shepard, who was sober for 16 years before relapsing in 2020, for always being 'so f**king honest.' 'I just thought it was incredible, men sharing their experiences with their foibles, their missteps, their wants, their aches and a lot of humor with it,' Pitt said. As someone born in Oklahoma and raised in Missouri, the actor explained he was raised around men that always insisted 'everything is great' and didn't complain.

Foo Fighters release first new song since Dave Grohl infidelity scandal and firing of drummer
Foo Fighters have released their first brand new music after a difficult period for the band during which frontman Dave Grohl announced he had fathered a child outside his marriage, and drummer Josh Freese was let go from the group. Today's Song, which features artwork by Grohl's daughter Harper, is a typically anthemic Foo Fighters track with Grohl full of existential angst: 'I woke today screaming for change / I knew that I must / So, here lies a shadow / Ashes to ashes / Dust into dust.' Grohl wrote a lengthy letter alongside the release, retelling the story of the band and acknowledging former band members, including Freese: 'It should go without saying that without the boundless energy of William Goldsmith, the seasoned wisdom of Franz Stahl, and the thunderous wizardry of Josh Freese, this story would be incomplete, so we extend our heartfelt gratitude for the time, music, and memories that we shared with each of them over the years. Thank you, gentlemen.' Freese said in May that he was 'not angry – just a bit shocked and disappointed' when he was told that Foo Fighters wanted 'to go in a different direction with their drummer'. Foo Fighters did not comment on Freese's departure. Freese was the replacement for Taylor Hawkins, who died in 2022 aged 50. Grohl paid tribute to Hawkins in his letter, saying: 'Your name is spoken every day, sometimes with tears, sometimes with a smile, but you are still in everything we do, everywhere we go, forever.' A new drummer has not been announced; a statement alongside Today's Song says: 'Foo Fighters are Dave Grohl, Nate Mendel, Pat Smear, Chris Shiflett and Rami Jaffee.' Grohl is married to Jordyn Blum, the mother of three of his daughters. In September 2024 he said in a statement: 'I've recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage. I plan to be a loving and supportive parent to her. I love my wife and my children, and I am doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness.' In his announcement of Today's Song, Grohl perhaps made an oblique reference to these widely publicised struggles, using the metaphor of a lobster shedding its shell. 'The point being that life's challenges have a way of signalling the need for change and growth, so when that time comes, you retreat, rebuild, and resurface stronger than before.' The admission of infidelity somewhat tarnished the image of a man who was often described as 'the nicest man in rock'. Foo Fighters cancelled a headline festival performance and retreated from the public eye for a time, though Grohl reunited with Nirvana bandmate Krist Novoselic in January for a benefit concert after the LA wildfires. Foo Fighters will return to live music in October, playing four concerts across east Asia and another in Mexico City in November. Their most recent album is 2023's But Here We Are. Earlier this week they released I Don't Wanna Hear It, a cover of a song by punk band Minor Threat, with instrumentals recorded in 1995 but vocals recorded earlier this year.

Trump insider reveals the heaven-sent reason he was able to justify his 2020 election loss
Donald Trump thinks his 2020 election loss is all part of a divine plan, according to a top national security adviser. The president apparently now views his crushing loss to former President Joe Biden during COVID as a 'providential' outcome so he could be in office for America's 250th birthday. Monica Crowley, who worked at the Treasury Department during Trump's first term and now serves as the Chief of Protocol of the U.S., said Trump thinks it was his destiny to preside over the upcoming celebration on July 4, 2026. 'Now [Trump] says, 'You know what? 2020 had to happen that way. It was providential,' Crowley told Pod Force One host Miranda Devine in the latest episode of the podcast published on Wednesday. 'It was because now he's back, and he will preside over these incredible events,' she detailed. Crowley said that Trump assumed he wouldn't be in office again after the 2020 loss, but now thinks it was some sort of divine intervention that led to his 2024 victory so he could be part of some massive landmarks for the U.S. This includes the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, North America hosting the 2026 FIFA World Cup and the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles just months before the end of his second term. She said Trump 'figured, well, after 2020's election, he wasn't going to be in office to see those events.' This is a sharp u-turn from the public perception Trump has exuded about his 2020 election loss, claiming it was a fraudulent outcome and that it was 'stolen' by Democrats trying to keep him out of office for a second term. After his loss to Biden in 2020, he came back for a rematch. And once the former president was forced to drop out of the race, Trump definitively defeated former Vice President Kamala Harris by a record-breaking margin in November. Trump is known for his love of fanfare. On his birthday on June 14 this year, which is also the birthday of the U.S. Army, Trump held a massive military parade in Washington, D.C. – complete with tanks rolling down the street of the nation's capital and military aircraft conducting flyovers of the city. It's unclear yet what he has in store of July 4, 2026, but it's sure to be filled with celebrations. This year for Independence Day, Trump is, per usual, celebrating at the White House. He'll then depart earlier than usual to spend the rest of the weekend at his Bedminster, New Jersey, golf club. In her job as U.S. Chief of Protocol, Crowley is an adviser to Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio when it comes to matters of national security and international diplomatic protocol. The position holds the rank of ambassador and assistant secretary of state. She took this position on May 30, 2025. During Trump's first term, Crowley was the Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Public Affairs.
