Set for release on February 13, the UK premiere of Wuthering Heights was in London on Thursday, and leading stars Margot Robbie<\/a> and Jacob Elordi were in attendance. She was her usual captivating self on the red carpet, slipping into a Dilara Findikoglu corset gown with accompanying Manolo Blahnik heels, faux blond braids, and an array of sparkly jewellery.<\/p>\n Amongst the jewellery was the replica of Charlotte’s mourning bracelet, and let’s just say it’s been quite controversial.<\/p>\n Mourning jewellery dates back as far as the 16th century, but it became especially popular in the Victorian era, where people would adorn memorial jewellery with the locks of their deceased loved ones.<\/p>\n Wuthering Heights author Emily Br\u00f6nte died in December 1848, followed by her sister Anne just five months later in May 1849. The third Br\u00f6nte sister, Charlotte, had the bracelet commissioned soon after, and it incorporated locks of Emily and Anne’s hair. She wore the bracelet, which included gold clasps set with garnets, until her own death in 1855. It has been owned by the Bront\u00eb Parsonage Museum since 1923.<\/p>\n Unlike Kim Kardashian, who did wear a real historical artefact<\/a> to the 2022 Met Gala, Margot Robbie’s<\/a> bracelet was a replica designed by Wyedean Weaving, a fourth-generation manufacturer based in the Bront\u00eb’s hometown of Haworth.<\/p>\n Rebecca Yorke, director of the Bront\u00eb Parsonage Museum, said: \u201cThe [Br\u00f6nte Parsonage Museum] holds the world\u2019s largest collections of Bront\u00eb manuscripts, clothing and personal possessions and we take our responsibility as custodians extremely seriously.<\/p>\n \u201cThis event has offered us an unprecedented opportunity to share an item from our collection and tell its story with a global and contemporary audience, and we are delighted that, thanks to director Emerald Fennell, Margot Robbie and everyone involved with the film, Emily Bront\u00eb and her masterpiece continue to be part of popular culture almost 200 years after her death.\u201d<\/p>\n The hair was constructed with a synthetic material, but hand-dyed to resemble the original item.<\/p>\n Admittedly, some of the backlash was born of the belief that Margot Robbie was wearing the real mourning bracelet of Charlotte Br\u00f6nte. But then, even after the mistake was cleared up, people still argued that it was disrespectful.<\/p>\n margot robbie wearing the bront\u00eb sisters hair as a bracelet for the premiere\u2026 very unclassy very nasty of her considering the movie is so unlike the book<\/p>\n — maria (@anyasroyco) February 5, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n![\"Anthony](\"https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/02\/shutterstock_editorial_16514048ih.jpg\")
