The heart-shaped necklace Margot Robbie wore to the Wuthering Heights premiere has a very romantic history

Richard Burton gifted it to Elizabeth Taylor for her 40th birthday

Emerald Fennell's version of Wuthering Heights premiered in LA last night, and Margot Robbie completely stole the show.

She plays the role of Cathy in the film, and much like she did for the 2023 film Barbie, Margot and her stylist, Andrew Mukamal, are going all out with themed styling for the premieres and press events in the run-up to its release.

It's the Cartier Taj Mahal necklace, made from gold, rubies, jade and diamonds, and featuring a heart-shaped pendant. It was gifted to none other than Elizabeth Taylor for her 40th birthday by Richard Burton.

The real necklace is worth millions (around $8 million to be precise), but if you're keen to add a statement necklace to your jewellery box, I've found some much more affordable options. They'd all make excellent Valentine's Day gifts, too, if anyone's looking (hint, hint).

She wears a white crepe chiffon Grecian dress designed by Edith Head with seven white orchids in her hair designed by Alexandre of Paris. Around her neck she wears a present from her husband Richard Burton the "Taj Mahal", a heart-shaped, lemon diamond pendant inscribed with Indian love poetry suspended on a gold and ruby chain by Cartier.

Burton portrayed Heathcliff in a TV adaptation of the Emily Brontë novel in 1958, plus his romance with Taylor is considered one of the most passionate romances of all time - much like Heathcliff and Cathy.

When Elizabeth Taylor wore the necklace, she styled it as a pendant, whereas Margot wore hers with a drop down the back to give it a modern feel.

I can't wait to see what Margot will wear for the London premiere of the film, which is due to take place on 5th February.

In addition to this show-stopping look, Margot has been wearing designs by the likes of Alexander McQueen and Victoria Beckham whilst doing the rounds to promote the film alongside her co-star Jacob Elordi, adding diamond jewellery by Jessica McCormack.
