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…
“Make sure you go down there and take photos of her with a sign.” — Margot’s agent.

It’s nice to just blend in with the crowd here.

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.
Joining a strike even in your own exact union is still an act of solidarity with your peers. Don’t forget how easy it is to be a scab.
Her agent makes money when she gets roles. And she gets roles when the Hollywood elites give them to her. Joining a strike will not endear Robbie to them. So no, this is not her agent’s wet dream at all.
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?
I think you are confusing the ability to spin up elaborate paranoias with intelligence.
