Margot Robbie looked happy to be back on home soil as she touched down in Australia on Thursday morning with her co-star Jacob Elordi ahead of the Aussie premiere of their new film Wuthering Heights.
Margot, 35, flashed her kilowatt smile as the pair touched down at Sydney Airport.
She dressed casually for her flight from in a white T-shirt, baggy jeans and chic ballet flats.
The Barbie beauty carried a designer handbag and shielded her eyes with a pair of Chanel sunglasses as she was ushered to an awaiting car.
Meanwhile, Jacob appeared less than thrilled as he strolled through the airport with his head down and earphones in.
He covered his face with a baseball cap and a pair of large sunglasses.

The Saltburn star looked dapper in a beige trenchcoat and a pair of black trousers.
Jacob, who is known for his love of very expensive designer bags, carried a baby pink Bottega Veneta duffle bag.
The new version of Wuthering Heights will see Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi star as the tragic lovers Heathcliff and Catherine, and it’s set to hit cinemas on February 13, just in time for Valentine’s Day.
During the film’s press tour, the stars haven’t shied away from showing off their chemistry on the red carpet.
In fact, it has led to some complaints from fans that the duo have taken inspiration from Sydney Sweeney’s ‘PR playbook,’ after she put on a similarly cosy display with co-star Glen Powell in 2023 to promote their film Anyone But You.
Jacob himself recently raised eyebrows during a press interview when he declared the pair had a ‘mutual obsession’ while filming.
Speaking to Fandango, with Margot sitting nearby, he said he made sure he was never more than 10 metres away from the Barbie actress on set.
If you have the opportunity to share a film set with Margot Robbie, you’re going to make sure you’re within five to ten metres at all times,’ he said.
‘Watching how she drinks tea, how she eats her food. When is it going to slip? And it never comes undone.’
The mutual ‘obsession’ helped with getting into character, as Jacob added: ‘There’d be a moment where we’d be running hand-in-hand through the moors, maybe not even in the scene, just setting it up, where I’d look across at her and she’d be looking at me and you really realized you are looking at Catherine and she was looking at Heathcliff.
‘And in that moment, we really were a part of their love, for real.’
Meanwhile Margot claimed that she became ‘co-dependent’ on Jacob.
She said: ‘I’m so codependent with people I work with and I love everyone so much and I’m always that person who’s so devastated when a job’s over and I never want it to end. I think I developed that quite quickly with Jacob too.’
Margot went on to add that she became so accustomed to the Saltburn star’s presence that when he wasn’t around, she felt ‘really unnerved and unmoored’, adding: ‘I felt quite lost, like a kid without their blanket or something.’
The Barbie star also revealed the touching gesture Jacob made when they filmed over Valentine’s Day last year.
She recalled: ‘We were shooting on Valentine’s Day. You made my day and, as Heathcliff, filled my room with roses.
‘I remember thinking on Valentine’s Day, oh he’s probably a very good boyfriend, ’cause there’s a lot of thoughtfulness in this. You did a lot of very thoughtful things.’
On Wednesday, it was revealed Margot and Jacob had matching signet rings made to commemorate their time together.
Each of the beautiful rings features an image of two skeletons embracing, and the words ‘Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.’
Several commenters have accused the pair of copying the now-infamous press tour playbook used by Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell during the promotion of Anyone But You.
‘They are going way too hard with this film promotion. This is exactly like Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell. It’s all marketing,’ one said.
‘Overdoing it to sell their chemistry,’ a third agreed.
‘This shouldn’t be necessary if the film is actually good.’
Others questioned the optics altogether, with one bluntly writing: ‘Super creepy to say when you’re married.’
Robbie recently claimed to relish the movie’s emotional ‘swings’ and said her character cries almost relentlessly in every scene she’s in.
Asked if she prepares differently for romantic scenes, she told PEOPLE: ‘No different to all the other scenes that we do. The movie kind of demands a lot of all of us.
