AceShowbiz - Margot Robbie, pregnant with her first child, recently showcased her cozy maternity style in Brentwood, Los Angeles. Dressed in a sheer black off-shoulder top and oversized sweatpants, she accessorized with Prada sunglasses and chunky black sandals.
Robbie has also been seen in other public appearances. She was spotted in a chic outfit in Santa Monica, Calif., and at The Bird Streets Club in West Hollywood.
Robbie's upcoming projects include Kogonada's "A Big Bold Beautiful Journey" and a film adaptation of the video game "The Sims", which she is producing through LuckyChap.
That aside, the actress is currently hit with controversy surrounding her and Jacob Elordi's casting in a new adaptation of Emily Bronte's 'Wuthering Heights". The casting has sparked backlash among fans who argue that the actors do not align with the physical descriptions of the characters in the novel.
In the book, Heathcliff is described as dark-skinned and of Roma or Gypsy heritage, which has led to criticism that the casting "whitewashes" the role. Fans have also questioned the age gap between the actors and the characters.
Despite the controversy, Robbie's company, LuckyChap, is producing the film, which is currently in pre-production and is set to shoot in the United Kingdom next year.
