Margot Robbie proved she can make even the most casual look runway-ready as she took to the streets during Wednesday’s SAG-AFTRA rally. The Barbie star, 33, was a vision in an oversized white tee, putting her own stylish spin on the protest uniform. With her signature blonde locks flowing freely and chic sunnies shielding her eyes, Margot commanded attention as she proudly held her poster high during the march from Netflix to Paramount Studios.

The Australian beauty was joined by fellow Aussie actress and friend Samara Weaving, who sported a similarly laidback look of green shorts and a white cap. But all eyes were on Margot as she led the pack of protestors through West Hollywood in her effortlessly cool white kicks.

Margot and her fellow actors are currently united with the Writers Guild in the first “double strike” the entertainment industry has seen in over 60 years. The united front is aiming to get more equitable pay and protect workers from being replaced by AI, among other important issues. Read more…

    I’m tempted to say that if I was a wealthy actor I could take a year off too.

    But I actually think this is a pretty significant move for her. She is at the top of her game right now and female actors don’t have a very long window of time where they can stay there. This strike is eating directly into her career prime after she won the 1-in-a-zillion lottery to even make it to that point. And she’s potentially pissing off the studio bosses by doing this, so even if the strike ends she may not be able to resume where she left off.

    That all means Margot Robbie is potentially sacrificing one of the sweetest, most lucrative careers in the world to support the Labor movement and show solidarity to her coworkers.

    Good for her.

      Hey, I’m betting on Lemmy getting big and be the first one to get in, so I can do like a podcast or something for my backup plan.

      It’ll all work out. Hopefully.

          Pretty similar to pretending to be Margot Robbie on TV talk shows to promote a movie, I guess.

              Guess who’s not getting a sponsorship deal from Asus any time soon.

                  Read some Infinite Jest for more info on New Sincerity. It’s a pretty difficult read, but it’s rewarding. Funny, too.

                  I thought there is at least someone here who would connect the dots realize that the movie isn’t mainly about feminism, it’s about New Sincerity, and so are many of the comments and posts from here before. A bit disappointed.

                  Maybe I just like talking to Internet weirdos. I try to be nice here. Usually.

                  Jokes aren’t as funny if you explain them. It’s not the right time for the punchline yet.
