Few jeans are as flattering as flared jeans, as Margot Robbie’s latest look confirms.
The imminent arrival of autumn marks the desire to reconnect with an aesthetic that evokes warmth, freedom, and a touch of nostalgia: that of the 1970s. Temperatures drop, layers arrive, and almost without realizing it, we reach for loose silhouettes, textured fabrics, and that bohemian feel so characteristic of the decade.
It’s no coincidence that key pieces from that era resurface with force each season. This year, with the omnipresence of boho, flared jeans—also known as bell-bottoms— are positioned as the star of the autumn wardrobe. Steeped in nostalgia, bell-bottom jeans are most associated with the 1970s, so wearing them today requires a good outfit that doesn’t look like a costume.
Margot Robbie did just that on September 12. The 35-year-old actor is currently on a tour to present her upcoming film, A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, which also stars Colin Farrell. During a visit to BBC Radio One, Robbie was spotted wearing one of those perfect autumn looks that feature these jeans as their protagonists—and even the most classic dressers are going to save this one in their fall inspiration folders.

Robbie wore a fitted, butter-yellow suede top with jeweled trim and buttons, which she paired with a matching jacket. She completed the look with Chanel flared jeans and a smart choice of footwear. Robbie’s gold heeled sandals are especially perfect for days when the temperature is neither too cold nor too hot, making them a clear wardrobe staple.
