I Thought Platform Shoes Were Over, But Margot Robbie Just Proved They Always Work With This Trouser Style
Margot Robbie just convinced me to reconsider platform heels—but only when they’re paired with these sleek trousers.

With a well-earned spot at the epicentre of the entertainment industry, Margot Robbie is uniquely privy to the ebbs and flows of trends and It items, with designers practically pitting themselves against one another to dress her.
Still, after following her style journey for some time now, I can confirm that she's not one to fall blindly for a flash-in-the-pan new-season trend or flaunt a freebie; instead, Robbie has cultivated a considered and elegant capsule wardrobe rotation that relies on timeless staples, whilst making room for the odd element of play.
Stepping out in an ensemble that speaks fluently to her refined styling habits, I spotted her this week in a quietly elevated take on trousers and a tank top. A simple silhouette made chic by a few thoughtful swaps, Robbie played with proportions, selecting a voluminous pair of wide-leg trousers instead of a typical straight-leg pair, which welcomed movement and drama into her outfit.
Now, let’s talk about the shoes. Complementing her trousers perfectly, Robbie opted for a platform heel to quite literally elevate her evening ensemble. Not long pushed aside in favour of sleek kitten heels and pointed-toe styles, platform heels have taken a backseat in recent seasons. But whilst platforms can sometimes feel bulky with certain outfits, they work brilliantly with wide-leg trousers to balance the exaggerated proportions. Between the ribcage trousers and ultra-tall heels, Robbie added inches to her frame, all the while keeping her styling polished and uncomplicated, inspiring me to revisit my forgotten platform heels in the process.
If this shot of her has had the same effect on you, read on to discover the wide-leg trousers and platform heels I recommend you look into this season.
