Despite extensive marketing efforts, the film landed in sixth place at the U.S. box office, trailing behind competitors like Him and Demon Slayer.

Not only did it struggle commercially, but it also didn’t fare well with critics, earning a dismal 37 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Many reviewers criticized the film for “lackluster storytelling,” highlighting its failure to engage audiences effectively.

This outcome starkly contrasts Robbie’s monumental success in 2023 with Barbie, which raked in an impressive $1.5 billion globally.

Prior to the release, both Robbie and co-star Colin Farrell diligently promoted the film, with Robbie’s red-carpet outfits garnering nearly as much attention as the film itself.

Reflecting on her extravagant red carpet attire, including a bejeweled sheer dress at the film’s London premiere, Robbie, 35, explained, “It’s a fun opportunity to express yourself on the red carpet. Honestly, it’s for my girlfriends. I just hope they enjoy it.”

Despite her vibrant fashion choices, RadarOnline.com reported that many fans suggested Robbie should reconsider her stylist after voicing their dissatisfaction with her recent looks.

Online opinions diverged regarding Robbie’s fashion choices. One fan commented, “I really like Margot, but there’s been a noticeable shift toward more revealing styles lately. It feels out of character for her.” Another noted, “Why is she opting for such scanty dresses? She looks incredible without needing to show so much skin.”

Some expressed concern that her fashion decisions post-baby diverge too much from her previous stunning wardrobe choices showcased during her Barbie promotion.

Further criticism targeted the vintage 1998 Mugler gown she wore at the New York premiere, with fans stating, “While she’s stunning, the dress isn’t flattering and seems awkward for walking. Perhaps a new stylist is necessary.” Some followers echoed this sentiment, insisting, “Sack the stylist,” while others remarked, “They clearly don’t understand how to style her. It’s time to make a change.”

Robbie is trying to navigate her professional comeback after a brief hiatus post-motherhood, welcoming her first child with husband Tom Ackerley last October. Fans eagerly await how her career trajectory will evolve following this recent film setback.
