Actress Margot Robbie is serving all old-world glamor while promoting her upcoming film Wuthering HeightsJacob Elordi co-stars — and his latest red carpet appearance may be his most memorable yet.

At the film’s world premiere held at the TCL Chinese Theater in Los Angeles on Wednesday, January 28, the actor turned heads in a sculptural Schiaparelli couture gown. But it wasn’t just the dress that sparked conversation.

Margot Robbie revives an old Hollywood treasure

What really grabbed the headlines was Robbie’s jewelery choice. The 35-year-old actor stepped out wearing Elizabeth Taylor’s iconic heart-shaped Taj Mahal diamond necklace – a historic piece that was worth $8 million (approximately Rs 74 crore), according to People.

The necklace, set on a gold and ruby ​​Cartier chain, was originally gifted to Taylor by her fifth husband, actor Richard Burton, on her 40th birthday more than five decades ago. Robbie’s decision to wear an inherited dress seemed like a deliberate nod to old Hollywood extravagance and legendary love stories.

Taylor and Burton famously met on the set of Cleopatra in 1962, when both were married to other people, and their whirlwind romance made headlines around the world.

There are Mughal roots behind the Taj Mahal diamond.

This diamond holds a history in itself that extends far beyond Hollywood. The heart-shaped, table-cut gem bears a Parsi inscription that reads “Love is Eternal” along with the name Noor Jahan. Historians believe that it was originally gifted by the Mughal emperor Jahangir to his wife Nur Jahan and later passed on to his son Shah Jahan.

Jewelery scholars suggest that Shah Jahan later gifted the gem to his wife Mumtaz Mahal, cementing its deep association with the Mughal dynasty – and giving it the name Taj Mahal Diamond.

In 1971, the French luxury house Cartier acquired the diamond and re-set it with red gems and table-cut diamonds, initially hanging it with a traditional Indian silk rope. A year later, Cartier designer Alfred Durante created the now famous woven gold and ruby ​​necklace, complete with adjustable slides, rondelles and gorgeous pendants.

A necklace made for grand love stories

Cartier Chairman Michael Thomas presented the piece to Burton and Taylor during a stopover at New York’s Kennedy Airport in 1972. Although Burton did not buy it immediately, he later surprised Taylor with the necklace during a lavish birthday weekend in Budapest during the filming of Bluebeard.

Photos from the celebration show a crowd of guests as Taylor picked up the necklace for closer inspection — a moment Robbie subtly replicated at the premiere, wearing the piece as a choker with the pendant dangling down her back.

Stepping into the necklace’s storied past, Robbie has woven itself into its legend, and added a modern chapter to the most romantic history of jewellery.

During this time, Wuthering Heights It is set to release in theaters on February 13.
