Why Margot Robbie's Stunning Oscars Hairstyle Is Causing Such A Stir

Margot Robbie appeared on the 2021 Oscars red carpet with her hair pulled back in a loose ponytail. She had long bangs that framed her face, and at their longest, fell to her shoulders. The look was polarizing for fans. 

Some fans believed Robbie looked stunning. "Margot Robbie's hair/bangs combo is going to live rent-free in my head for the foreseeable future," one Twitter user wrote. "So unfair that Margot Robbie can look good with any hair color. Top 10 most gorgeous humans ever. #Oscars," another added.

Other fans feel like this look is outdated and did the actress no favors. "Margot Robbie's entire glam team — hair, makeup, stylist — need to be fired STAT! It's been flop after flop for years and it is painful to see someone so gorgeous look so bad!!!!" another Twitter user noted.

The hairstyle was paired with a metallic-lace mermaid dress, giving her look an effortless feel. That was the draw, as she shared with Vogue. "I chose this dress because it has all the craftsmanship and luxury of Chanel but feels easy and not too fussy," she said (via PopSugar).
