BYRON BRIDESMAID
MARGOT’S DUTY FOR GAL PAL
MARGOT Robbie swapped Hollywood for her role as bridesmaid at a close friend’s Byron Bay wedding last weekend.
The Queensland movie star – whose latest film, Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon A Time in Hollywood, is due to premiere in Cannes tomorrow morning Australian time – joined her tight-knit group of Gold Coast friends during the weekend to celebrate the wedding of Anna MacKillop and George Bryan in the northern NSW hot spot.
Robbie served as a bridesmaid with three of her close friends as the couple tied the knot in an outdoor ceremony in the Byron Bay hinterland.
Robbie married long-term partner Tom Ackerley at a nearby property at Coorabell in December, 2016.
In videos posted to social media, Robbie is seen giving a speech at the reception, saying “we are some of Anna’s oldest and dearest friends”.
The bridesmaids wore cowl neck gowns from Australian label Bec + Bridge, which retail for $300.
In February, the 28-yearold Oscar nominee took a break from filming Harley Quinn spin-off Birds of Prey in Los Angeles to attend MacKillop’s hen’s party in Byron Bay before returning to the US. She returned to Queensland early this month to attend the funeral of her late grandmother, Verna, 92, affectionately known to Margot and her siblings as “Narnie’’, in Dalby.
She then spent time travelling through the Northern Territory as well as slipping into Adelaide late last week before returning to the Gold Coast.
Overnight, Robbie was also announced as the newest ambassador for Chanel Fragrances, broadening the former Somerset College student’s relationship with the luxury fashion house.
