Margot Robbie, Jacob Elordi, Wuthering Heights 2026: The Costumes Redefining a Classic

Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie's new Wuthering Heights movie is already dividing audiences and its modern costume design is at the centre of the conversation.

Emerald Fennell’s bold new adaptation of the literary classic takes a radically different visual approach, with costume designer Jacqueline Durran crafting a world that blends historical silhouettes, Old Hollywood glamour, and contemporary fashion language.

In this video, we explore how the film’s costumes reshape our understanding of Cathy and Heathcliff — from high-shine fabrics and sculptural gowns to Gothic jewellery, dramatic hats, and carefully chosen colour symbolism. Drawing inspiration from 19th-century dress, 1950s melodrama, and modern couture, these costumes transform Wuthering Heights into something closer to a stylised fever dream than a traditional period drama.

We’ll also look at the online debate surrounding the film’s aesthetic, and why this reinterpretation may be more intentional — and more faithful in spirit — than it first appears.

This is not a breakdown of accuracy.
It’s a look at storytelling through costume.
