MARGOT LENDS SUPPORT TO ULTIMATE PYJAMA PARTY

- HANNAH DAVIES

A-LIST actress Margot Robbie can make anything trendy, even wearing pyjamas as clothes.

Gold Coast pyjama designer Nick Chalmers, of Chalmers Pyjamas, designs wearable pyjamas people can show off to their friends and the movie star has become his unofficial style ambassador.

Robbie has been pictured on social media wearing the trendy sleepwear, including one tagged post in which she lounges by the pool in her robe.

Chalmers said the post increased the label’s fan base by 1000 in one day.

“Margot is very on-brand for us and it’s great that she’s also a local girl,” he said.

Chalmers Pyjamas is giving establishe­d sleepwear designer Peter Alexander a run for his money, inking deals to be stocked in internatio­nal department stores, including Selfridges in the UK and Nordstrom in the US.

“Pyjamas have become a real style statement this season and are no longer just for the bedroom,” Chalmers said.

“I like making pyjamas that are comfortabl­e but that you can also walk the dog in or even go and get a coffee. By wearing pyjamas all the time you can really cut down on your wardrobe size.”

But do not expect to see cartoon characters on the designer’s flannels. Chalmers said: “Some people love that stuff, but for me it just makes you look like a four-year-old.” PUMP petrol without the pain of paying thanks to the Gold Coast Bulletin’s Bingo Billbuster­s promotion.
