Celebrity Beauty
The actor pulls off every color and length.
When it comes to Margot Robbie’s hair, she is largely recognized as a tried and true blonde, matching her low-key, lived-in, and beachy hair hue to her softly bronzed complexion and stormy, ocean blue eyes.
Though throughout her vibrant career as one of the most decorated young actors of our time — since her early breakout role in the Leonardo DiCaprio-fronted film The Wolf of Wall Street, to her most recent highly-anticipated role as the beloved title character in Barbie — the award-winning actor and passionate producer has surprisingly been quite experimental with her hair color and hair length in the past.
From golden honey hues to stunning platinum blonde tresses, she’s spent much of her career in just about every single shade of the sun-kissed color. Some may be unaware, however, that Robbie is actually a natural brunette. What’s more, the Australian star revealed to Elle back in 2014 that she “always dyed [her hair] dark in high school,” and was “devastated” when she had to go back to blonde in an effort to score more Hollywood roles (successfully, for what it’s worth).
Below, take a closer look at some of Margot Robbie’s most iconic hair moments throughout the years.
The Breakout Blonde
Attending the UK premiere of The Wolf of Wall Street in January 2014, Robbie was seen with a soft, chamomile blonde color (that was similar to her character’s hair hue in the film).
The Sultry Brunette
For her role in Z for Zachariah, Robbie debuted a much darker hair hue on the red carpet back in March 2014.
The Old Hollywood Espresso Lob
Going a bit deeper and shorter while attending a film award ceremony in London back in March 2014, Robbie’s look was reminiscent of a ’50s-era silver screen starlet.
The Strawberry Blonde
During the summer of 2014 — years before copper hair hues became a major trend — the Aussie-born actor explored warm tones of strawberry blonde while embodying the role of Jane in the live-action film Legend Of Tarzan.
The Long Fishtail Braid
Going back to her signature golden blonde color in early 2015, Robbie rocked a sleek fishtail braid that featured a bright shade of platinum at the ends.
The Mid-Length Honey
Chopping off the vibrant platinum ends, Robbie’s strands were refreshed to a pretty mid-length in February 2015.

Going shorter and lighter not long after her mid-length cut, the Focus actor matched her fresh angled bob to her chiseled jawline for Vanity Fair’s 2015 Oscars party.
The Grown-Out Golden Bronde
Attending the 88th Annual Academy Awards in 2016, Robbie’s strands were back at a mid-length cut with a lived-in shade of chamomile bronde.

Going lighter and shorter once more for the 2018 Academy Awards, Robbie’s hair was transformed into a root-y power bob above her shoulders.

The Rooty Platinum
Going back to her Harley Quinn-esque, bleach blonde roots in early 2020, the actor got a healthy trim with some textured ends.
