Known and renowned for her roles in Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood by Quentin Tarantino, The Wolf of Wall Street by Martin Scorsese and Suicide Squad in the character of Harley Quinn, the Australian actress talks about the second that changed her life in a campaign photographed by Brigitte Lacombe launched in 2019.

“It’s an incredibly special feeling to be alongside such inspiring women in this campaign. Embodying the J12 watch to me is acknowledging and appreciating time. ” Margot Robbie.

Chanel’s spokesmodel since 2018, she is the face of the Coco Neige 2018/2019 campaign photographed by the eccentric and talented Karl Lagerfeld. The love story between the sensual actress and Chanel does not end there. She plays the role of the free and passionate woman that was Mademoiselle Chanel for the new fragrance Gabrielle Chanel Essence, an ultra-feminine and enveloping scent that incenses the soft floral nuances of Grasse’s tuberose.
