Watch: Margot Robbie Steps Out for First Red Carpet Since Giving Birth

Margot Robbie is back in movie star Barbie mode.

The Oscar-nominated actress made her return to the red carpet nearly a year after she and husband Tom Ackerley welcomed a baby boy, whose name has not yet been shared. 

Margot posed alongside her A Big Bold Beautiful Journey costar Colin Farrell as the two celebrated their upcoming romantic fantasy at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills Aug. 20. 

The 35-year-old cut a stunning figure in a black, fitted mini-dress, paired with strappy black heels and her iconic blonde hair. Colin went for a more casual look, donning blue jeans and a white t-shirt with a black cardigan. 

Not only does the outing mark Margot’s first such event since becoming a mom, but A Big Bold Beautiful Journey is also her first time back on the big screen since 2023’s Barbie

And the Wolf of Wall Street actress appears to be jumping right back into work following the birth of her son, as she was spotted filming Emerald Fennell’s upcoming adaptation of Wuthering Heights back in March.

But even when she’s out and about, Margot has ways of keeping her baby boy close by. In fact, the new mom showed off a sweet piece of jewelry while enjoying a swim in Australia in April: a gold necklace that said “mama.”

And like the subtle references to their son, Margot and Tom—who are not only married, but are also producing partners through their company LuckyChap—have rarely been subtle when it comes to gushing about their own love story

“We were friends for so long,” she confessed to Vogue in 2016, the year they got married. “I was always in love with him, but I thought, 'Oh, he would never love me back. Don't make it weird, Margot. Don't be stupid and tell him that you like him.'"

But as she explained, “It happened and I was like, 'Of course we're together. This makes so much sense, the way nothing has ever made sense before.'"

“I was the ultimate single gal. The idea of relationships made me want to vomit," she told Vogue.  "And then this crept up on me. We were friends for so long. I was always in love with him, but I thought, 'Oh, he would never love me back. Don’t make it weird, Margot. Don’t be stupid and tell him that you like him.'
