Wuthering Heights has brought together Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie, but posing together still seems to be a feat for them. Despite being seemingly inseparable on set, the actors might have their reservations when it comes to pictures.

Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie play Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw, respectively, in Emerald Fennell's upcoming Wuthering Heights. The film graced carpets for a world premiere on January 28, 2026, with the dress code being the impeccably assumed Gothic theme. On cue, Margot Robbie donned a voluminously tailed Schiaparelli gown, around which Elordi seemed to have trouble standing.

As the duo posed for the event's photographs, the skirt of Robbie's dress posed a puzzle for the younger actor atop the stage. Seeing the exchange, fans are humored by the awkwardness that was not yet spotted between them.

The world premiere commenced in the TCL Chinese Theatre at Hollywood. The rest of the film's cast, Alison Oliver, Hong Chau, and Shazad Latif, as well as Charli xcx, had attended the premiere alongside Elordi and Robbie.

The interaction has left fans reeling over Elordi's puzzlement over a skirt.

Fans' wuthering laughter for Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie

The onlookers have spotted everything from the subtle signs of brand maintenance to Jacob Elordi's confusion caused by Margot Robbie's dress. Fans also seem to believe Elordi is weary, either of being on the premiere stage or of the role.

The awkwardness also forms a contrast with the attachment and co-dependence that the pair had claimed to and from each other, earlier this month.

Wuthering Heights is set to adapt the tumultuous tale that has echoed across generations as the greatest love story. The actors have absorbed the very essence of the pernicious characters, save for when they are taking pictures.
