She’s one of the hottest new stars in Hollywood, who found herself firmly in the ‘best dressed’ Oscar lists after her appearance in a Saint Laurent dress and bold scarlet lips on the red carpet.

Now Margot Robbie, 24, who wowed on Sunday with her new on-trend long, has admitted that trying ‘on a whole lot of nice clothes’ is one of the best parts of her job.

In Focus, the Australian-born beauty wears a dazzling array of designer names including Gucci, Saint Laurent, Michael Kors and Givenchy and she describes the film as ‘like playing dress up’.

She said: ‘The costume choices are always pretty instrumental in creating your character so I was lucky that they were very open to any suggestions.

‘Most of the time I just try to stay out of it or you end up dressing yourself and looking like yourself so it’s better letting the people hired to do the job, do their job.’

Playing Jess, a pickpocket who joins up with seasoned conman Will Smith for a huge heist, the Australian actress had to portray a thief pretending to be a wealthy woman.

While many cinema-goers will catch the film to see if the chemistry between Margot and her co-star is as sizzling as rumoured, others will be captivated by her chic on-screen wardrobe, which is worth thousands.

In one pool scene, she dons a 𝑠e𝑥y Herve Leger halter neck black strappy bikini, teamed with Prada platform sandals.

A body-con floral-print white dress by Trina Turk is in one scene shot in Argentina, while the over-sized shades are Gucci.

Margot also shows off her slim, toned physique in a red one-shoulder jersey dress by Roland Mouret along with Alexander Wang pumps.

She said: ‘The costume fittings for this were really fun because I got to wear cool clothes.

‘The only input I had to my costuming was that I wanted there to be a difference between the first half and the second half of the movie looks for Jess.

At the start of the film, Jess’s look is ‘street, a little more edgy’, said Margot, adding that she wears a ‘leather jacket, nail polish that’s kind of chipped, dark roots in her hair.

‘In the second half, she’s acquired more funds and wearing designer clothes. A little more form-fitted, geometric, sort of architecturally cool stylised looks.’

Along with a couple of Dolce & Gabbana items, she singled out ‘some very fancy shoes’ as memorable on-screen style moments.

Even in one early scene, when she’s a scrappy thief, she’s still dressed in expensive threads including a Helmut Lange white goat fur coat, Jimmy Choo ankle boots and a Givenchy knee-length skirt.

The actress showed off a cool new hairdo and a stunning Van Cleef & Arpels necklace, a plunge-front Saint Laurent, Seventies-style black gown and the final touch – stunning statement red lipstick
