She plays a psychotic super-villain in her latest film Suicide Squad.

But Australian actress Margot Robbie was looking perfectly angelic as she left her hotel to promote the action movie in New York City on Monday.

Dressed in a Bardot-style black and white top, and matching handkerchief skirt, the 26-year-old was off to talk about her role in the film on the Today Show.

With black ankle-strapped stiletto sandals to amp up the glamour, the Antipodean beauty wore her golden hair loosely tied back, and added a real pop of colour with pillar box red lipstick.

In her new film, based on the DC Comics characters, Margot plays the kooky but dangerous loyal protegee of The Joker – Harley Quinn.

‘They have a dysfunctional relationship, but she loves him anyway,’ the star told Shortlist.

Margot didn’t hold back when it came to describing Jared ‘The Joker’ Leto and the effect he had on her during filming.

She actually ‘loved’ working on set with the method actor, who sent her a token of his affection in the form of a live rat.

‘I was… surprised,’ Margot revealed, ‘I was surprised. There’s an understatement.

‘I loved that stuff. Jared was doing half my work for me. Harley is very much a part of a relationship.
