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…
Geez, they couldn’t write an article about the strike and the issues rather than how “runway-ready” she looks in a t-shirt?
Right? What a ridiculous article. We are all a little more stupid now.
Right? Margot Robbie is a fucking stunner, not like we didn’t all already know that. It’s not like she played Barbie or anything.
We’re the only known example of intelligent life in the universe, and we’re squandering it on these kinds of head-ass takes…
“Ohai, did you know, hot people can be workers too!”
The real question is, are hot people allowed to shitpost on an obscure tech forum?
Well we seem to be getting away with it, so …

I do it as a service. The more chronically online I am, the fewer people are hurt by being distracted by my irresistible in-person allure. I’m sure you relate.
Yes, because I’ve seen your posts elsewhere and you are definitely intelligent enough to hold your own.
No objection to you being hot (not sure how to say that without being creepy, but oh well). My objection is only that they could reference the strike first rather than what you are wearing.
Woah, I had no idea you were on Lemmy, that’s fucking awesome!
Are people actually thinking you’re the real Margot Robbie?
She obviously is. She’s said so dozens of times! And really, who would just go on the internet and lie like that? ;)
Not esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Elise Robbie, that’s for sure.

Is the woman to her right the actress that plays Nynaeve on Wheel of Time?
It’s an article on a fashion site. And it does inform the average person all they really need to know about the strike in two sentences.
If anything, they wrote the article specifically to draw attention to the strike. She’s wearing an oversized T-shirt ffs.
Geez, people. Feminine magazines have always been like this. Everyone knows that we women are incapable of caring about or understanding anything except clothes, diets, and home decor, so we must appeal to these interests rather than talking about this difficult boring stuff like writers’ strike. What exactly do these writers do anyway? Why are they striking rather than writing? It sounds boring. Please tell me more about Margot’s outfit, which I will wear after losing 50lb.
Well you see what happened was she was given the exact same t-shirt that everyone else has on, and then she put it on. I’m not sure we’ll be able to successfully recreate such magic.
Gloria Steinem is rolling in her grave and she’s not even dead.
Well, the real writers are on strike so…
Yeah I know, not the same type of writers.
Brawndo’s got what plants crave
Modern day journalism.
Ah yes let’s talk about what Margot is wearing as the lead in for this garbage article.
I mean, a bunch of us responded so it seems like not the worst choice…
Probably says more about us than the writers.
I mean, a bunch of us responded
Responded to say how stupid the article is
“i was only in there to get directions on how to get away from there!”
The linked article is from a fashion blog soooooooooooo…
Yeah, if anything we should be praising a fashion blog for talking about the strike rather than criticizing an article about the strike for talking about fashion.
You can tell because it’s all shallow bullshit. Who reads this stuff?
If a journalist from an actual outlet decided for some reason that they were going to write about what she was wearing they would at least include some news context, but this fashion article seems to assume that everything that happens in the world basically is only there to be a backdrop to what people are wearing. It’s really weird.
Wearing a baggy t-shirt like everyone else on the strike is news now?
Also, have I not been vocal enough about my support of the strike here?
Where is my front page post on Lemmy about being “the opposite of a scab”?
You’re a vision in a t-shirt! Your sunnies are so chic! What a stylish spin on… appropriate clothes for a warm sunny day. How do you do it!?
Wait till they see my home outfit of a hoodie, sweatpants and a tub of ice cream.
Don’t forget to accessorize with a no-nonsense scrunchie for an effortless spin on that “lazy days” look!
Scandalous! Content should be marked as NSFW!
@MargotRobbie - B-b-but “you” have… “signature blonde locks”, unlike anyone else in Hollywood.
I think @Mantis_Toboggan is right, this has to have been written by an AI.
She has such beautiful blueish brownish greenish eyes!
Well, I think you’re doing a good job modding the android instance.
Thought I’d give Jared Leto’s method acting nonsense of “a reddit moderator” a try.
Turns out to be pretty easy, all things considered.
Thank you for your service. o7
I haven’t been particularly following the strikes but just scrolling on here I had seen you mention your support for it somewhere.
It’s weird reading this person praising what I assume to be a free t-shirt on par with the ones they give away for running a 5k as a fashion statement.
I hope there are strikes going for games too. I am looking forward to develop a Gta Chinatown Wars like game on Godot engine.
Game developers don’t have unions. Besides, this is a B2B conflict. Workers don’t care if it’s more expensive to publish a game.
Game developers don’t have unions.
They should though. They get screwed harder than nearly any other subset of the tech industry. Tech workers, overall, and need unions too. They’re getting such a miniscule cut of the revenues that it’s shocking.
Besides, this is a B2B conflict. Workers don’t care if it’s more expensive to publish a game.
The biggest impact is on indies that may have very few devs. If you’re not making AAA or even AA games, it could mean closing down.

Yes, but striking doesn’t help small devs at all.
Hi, local blonde woman pictured wearing a T-shirt here. Since everyone’s still here right now, a reminder again to loudly and proudly show your support to unions, strikes, and worker’s right in every industry. Every little bit counts.
This is a time for real change, it’s a matter of fighting for our survival. Do not fall into despair, because we can win, and despair is the enemy of progress.
This is not the end for us.
Also, want to steal this look? Buy a shirt here.

After checking your account I’m thoroughly confused. Either this is a novelty account that takes itself really, really seriously, or you’re the actual actress, but that just doesn’t compute.
I guess the world isn’t quite ready for it yet.
I want to believe
She’s playing the longest con.
Reminds me of years ago I joined the Counter-Strike server and ended up playing against Seth Rogen. Like, it was actually the dude… There was just no way that you could fake that laugh. And then he started talking about doing the ads for the Vancouver Metro which was really strange…
For a while I didn’t really believe it was him, but I added him as a friend anyway and later it turned out it was him so… That’s kind of funny.

I had it put into perspective by a friend who has been impacted by streaming (lack of) residuals. They were seeing something like 98% reduction in income from a project, despite wider reach. Absolutely crazy how much you folks are being robbed. And that’s before use of AI/ML to try to replace people with plagiarized pieces of past works.
I supported the strikes before but the understanding of the magnitude of impact that is already being felt is shocking and makes me support it doubly so. Keep rocking and fighting for your rights and those of your fellow workers!
yes my queen🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏#
Solidarity forever ✊

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.
What’s it like pretending to be Margot Robbie on the internet?
Pretty similar to pretending to be Margot Robbie on TV talk shows to promote a movie, I guess.

Margot Robbie, August 2023.
Why not.
Guess who’s not getting a sponsorship deal from Asus any time soon.
Ok so I read some more and I can’t claim to understand your goals, Mr./Ms. “Can’t get canceled for saying dumb things on the Internet if I’m not verified.”
I feel absolutely silly for continuing to read posts and comments, the IMDB page, and googling and finding little snippets of rumors about ADHD, DIY interest, apparently hosting some scientific & technical awards, not a trace on Twitter or Insta, except fan pages…? And a thing for letters?
Is this… plausible? Are you Among Us?
Surely not. Right? No.
Would a copycat write about New Sincerity? Who even knows about that? I’ve never heard it in normal internet discourse. It strikes me that this confused comment I’m writing seems to be quite aligned with the concept, unless I misunderstood it.
I’ll let you be mate, I’m confused about your goals and your commitment. I’m still settling on this being a novelty account by some weird, uncharacteristically funny nerd and impersonator. Maybe with the primary intention of promoting Lemmy activity and prompting comment activity, you seem to be a fairly popular account.
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.
Shhh you’ll ruin the magic
AI won’t discriminate. It’ll come for anyone’s job, including Margot’s.
Not if I started using AI first. Just look at my blatantly AI generated profile picture.
If I learned anything from Mugatu is that is that anything can be made runway-ready.
Also, I’m willing to bet my lunch money that this article was written by AI.
Sag strike. So hot right now.
So hot right now, several unions are now either striking or will be striking. Definitely, the hottest trend of 2023.
I dont’t know how fashion is world news.
I did watch Barbie and Margot did amazing work in that movie. 👍
I’ve noticed that there’s very little real news on this community lol

Fast fashion.

The dangers of engaging with content based on title and thumbnail, a case study. Even the first sentence of this is trash.
“Make sure you go down there and take photos of her with a sign.” — Margot’s agent.
The actors guild is also on strike. So she’s less showing solidarity and more actually on strike.
Generally unions have rules for picketing while in strike, specifically, how much time members are expected to spend picketing. It varies from Union to Union, it could be as little as 4 hours a week, it could be a much as 8 hours a day, and you’re typically paid to picket.

I mean she’s Margot Robbie. There are people taking pictures of her anywhere.
It’s nice to just blend in with the crowd here.
You are doing a horrible job at it!

The Hollywood elite know this strike will end eventually and they know they want to fill movie seats. Endearing her to the masses and making her looking like “one of them” is exactly what people want to see and is just the kind of thing that will fill those movie theater seats when this strike is over. That one photo, assuming it was picked up by all the usual celebrity-worshiping publications and websites, will have upped her desirability by quite a bit. Smart move by her and her people.
This is how viral campaigns work.
Having weirdos take pictures of you in public is a viral marketing campaign now?
Yeah! Where have you been?
Removed by mod
@templederr oh thank god. I was worried, but now everything is okay.
Pardon my ignorance, but isn’t this writers and actors strike? So she isn’t just showing solidarity by sympathizing with writers, but also striking?
sol·i·dar·i·ty noun 1. unity or agreement of feeling or action, especially among individuals with a common interest; mutual support within a group.
Striking is an act of solidarity by definition.
Yes, but you know what I mean. That the way article used it implied a different meaning, similar as if I (not involved in film or TV), picked up a sign and marched with them.
Take some notes, Drew
WTF is imgtrend dot com?
