Margot Robbie spent much of 2023 and 2024 Method dressing for the press tour of her pink-hued blockbuster Barbie, but she's clearly settled back into her darker, personal style.
The Australian 34-year-old was spotted heading inside the Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood on Monday looking leggy in a black sweater and matching mini-skirt.
Margot - who relies on stylist Andrew Mukamal - accessorized her all-black attire with a $1,250 Acne Studios 'Leather Buckle' boots and a $2,950 Alaïa 'Le Teckel' goatskin bag.
Robbie was also dressed in all-black last Saturday while taking the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, a private luxury train service from London to Venice.
And one week ago, the three-time Oscar nominee modeled an all-black Chanel skirt set during a photo shoot in Malibu.
Speaking of Barbie, Margot and her husband Tom Ackerley reupholstered a few $3,195 Saarinen pink armchairs from the set in order to decorate the LA office of their production company LuckyChap Entertainment.
'The chairs are actually in the Barbie movie when you're in the Mattel CEO office and all the Mattel guys are sitting around on the pink chairs,' Robbie told Architectural Digest on Tuesday.
'We just had them reupholstered, because at the end of the movie — I mean, they were quite expensive, actually — I was like, "Wait, what's going to happen to these chairs?"'
The inseparable married couple of eight years co-founded LuckyChap with their friends Josey McNamara and Sophia Kerr in 2014 - the same year they began dating.
Margot and the 34-year-old Englishman welcomed their first child - a son - on October 17.
The Papa Salt co-founders originally met in 2013 when he was working as third AD on the Belgium set of her Lifetime movie Suite Française, which wasn't released until 2017.
Last month, Robbie wrapped her role as Catherine Earnshaw in Emerald Fennell's big-screen adaptation of Emily Brontë's 1847 novel Wuthering Heights, which is already scheduled to hit US/UK theaters February 13.
Fans of the book were angered over the casting of the Chanel No. 5 stunner as the blushing bride, who was originally written as being 19-20 years old and dark haired.
Others were angered about Catherine's white glittery wedding gown, which would not exist in 1801 when the Gothic psychological drama is set.

But even more Wuthering Heights traditionalists were outraged over the white-wash casting of Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff, a 'dark-skinned' orphan found in Liverpool who was supposed to have Romani, African, or South Asian origins.
Casting director Kharmel Cochrane raised even more eyebrows casting Shazad Latif as aristocrat Edgar Linton and Hong Chau as housekeeper Nelly, prejudiced characters who discriminate against Heathcliff.
'There was one Instagram comment that said the casting director should be shot,' Kharmel told Deadline last month.
'But just wait till you see it, and then you can decide whether you want to shoot me or not. But you really don't need to be accurate. It's just a book. That is not based on real life. It's all art.'
Cochrane added: 'Wait until you see the set design because that is even more shocking. And there may or may not be a dog collar in it.'
But first, audiences can next catch Margot as Sarah in Kogonada's drama A Big Bold Beautiful Journey - hitting US/UK theaters September 19 - alongside Colin Farrell, Lily Rabe, Jodie Turner-Smith, and Phoebe Waller-Bridge.
