Margot Robbie Wears Taj Mahal Diamond Necklace at 'Wuthering Heights' LA Premiere

Actor Margot Robbie wore the Taj Mahal diamond necklace at the Los Angeles premiere of Wuthering Heights on January 28, 2026. The premiere was held at the TCL Chinese Theatre and marked the start of global promotions for the film, directed by Emerald Fennell.

Robbie, who plays Catherine Earnshaw in the new adaptation of Emily Brontë’s classic novel, paired the historic necklace with a Schiaparelli couture gown. The necklace is a heart-shaped, table-cut diamond mounted on a gold-and-ruby Cartier chain.

The Taj Mahal diamond is believed to date back to the Mughal era. Jewellery historians associate the diamond with Emperor Shah Jahan and his wife Mumtaz Mahal, for whom the Taj Mahal was built. The diamond bears a Parsi inscription reading “Love is Everlasting” and has long been linked to Mughal royalty. It later entered modern history through French luxury house Cartier.

Cartier acquired the diamond in 1971 and remounted it into its present necklace design. In 1972, the piece was purchased by actor Richard Burton as a gift for Elizabeth Taylor, becoming closely associated with her jewellery collection. The necklace has since been valued at approximately $8 million.

Speaking briefly on the red carpet, Robbie said the necklace carried “a lot of romantic history” and felt appropriate for the occasion. Since the film is based on one of the most popular romance dramas, the connection was obvious. The appearance marked one of Robbie’s first major red carpet outings for the film and drew attention due to the historical and cultural significance of the jewellery worn.

Wuthering Heights is the latest screen adaptation of Brontë’s only novel, initially published in 1847. It tells the tragic, passionate story of Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, an orphaned young boy taken in by Catherine's family. The film stars Robbie alongside Jacob Elordi. The film is scheduled for theatrical release in India on February 13.
