It’s landed her an Oscar nomination for her role as disgraced figure skater Tonya Harding.
And star of I, Tonya, Margot Robbie, positively shone as she walked the red carpet for the film’s UK premiere at the Curzon Mayfair Cinema in London on Thursday evening.
The blonde actress, 27, looked every inch the movie star as she stepped out in a floor-length gown, dripping in silver, black and white sequins – clearly a nod to her skater character – a role she told MailOnline she’d never have been able to play if she hadn’t taken matters into her own hands.
She’s got sparkle! Margot Robbie glistened in a floor-length gown of black, white and silver sequins as she attended the London premiere of I, Tonya
The Wolf Of Wall Street star, who produced the movie herself, said: ‘I definitely don’t think anybody would have given me this role if I hadn’t gone after it and I just wasn’t prepared to wait another 10 years for someone to happen to offer me a role like this.’
She admitted: ‘It was a difficult script to make from a producerial point of view, it had a lot of challenges and you were never going to get a tonne of money for something so unconventional.
‘It’s the Olympics, it spans over four decades and there’s a lot of things that make it expensive, it was a period script. It was a huge undertaking as new producers. It was amazing and I think taking a gamble like that can pay off.’
A dramatic look: The Australian blonde looked the epitome of sleek in the dress, which covered her lithe arms and long pins, falling dramatically to the pink floor
Zebra-like: The dress featured stripes, strips and paneling of black, silver and white, which shimmered in the premiere lights
Sleek: She swept her golden tresses into a dead-straight side bob and smiled lightly for the cameras

She told MailOnline: ‘Every time I win something, I’m sure I’m going to lose the next one. I’m very nervous and I feel a lot of pressure, I don’t want to disappoint people.
‘It’s almost as if you want to win for them rather than yourself because it means so much to them, and me too.’

‘She was like, “Oh, there’s Meryl. I’m gonna go say hi.”‘ Margo added.
