The Final Red Carpet for Wuthering Heights — And It’s Stunning

EssentiallySports - Pop Culture Vertical / VideoElephant

Emerald Fennell's Wuthering Heights has cemented itself as one of the biggest cultural moments of 2026, surpassing $150 million at the box office, and becoming the subject of much debate over its representation of Emily Brontë's novel.

But, that's not all. The movie has also re-welcomed period fashion and beauty into our lives, with Margot Robbie's eclectic mix of latex milkmaid dresses and intricate, bespoke wigs leaving us yearning for more.

Now, we've got the finer details on just what it took to bring those looks to life - in particular, her rosy, wind-beaten cheeks, which, as they turn out, were inspired by a TikTok trend.

Red is a common theme in the film, tailored to Catherine's (Robbie) internal lust for Heathcliff (Jacob Elordi). So much so, that Robbie herself has noted that if you're particularly eagle-eyed, you'll see that's the only pop of colour her character wears for the entire movie.

It springs up in the details of her beauty routine too, with red ribbons often entangled through her hair like a corset, and berry tones of blusher swept across her cheeks, emulating the ever-viral 'Boy Blush' trend. That involves bringing your blusher slightly lower-down on your cheeks to create a more lived-in effect.

However, the shade itself, according to the film's makeup artist Siân Miller, was a nod to the 'Pomegranate Girl' trend.

Warner Bros

Most popular in the summer of 2024, it's all about embodying a romanticised version of a somewhat sunburnt aesthetic. Think stained lips, and deep red-toned makeup that help create a lived-in glow fresh off the beach.

Except, when you're in the Yorkshire Moors, you can only imagine there's slightly-less bronzed tan, more cold weather flush going on in this instance.

Dubbing Robbie's iteration "Brontë blush", Miller told Harper's Bazaar that the look is all about "where the sun hits the face", and an indication of Cathy's "anger, anxiety and emotional distress" - a look she's also been sporting on the film's press tour too.

Chanel/Merit

The products used to bring it to life? Chanel No1 de Chanel Lip and Cheek Balm in Berry Boost and Merit's iconic Flush Balm.

Chanel's buttery balm retails for £42 and contains red camellia oil to help achieve a plump, colour-rich finish. Meanwhile, Merit's £26 flush balm is marketed as a product that "melts into the skin" for a more subtle, all-day finish - both of which have amassed plenty of positive reviews.

Now, fans of Wuthering Heights are dashing to recreate the look for themselves.

"I couldn’t pay attention during the movie half the time because I was so mesmerized by her blush", someone else penned.

She’s so perfectly flushed in #wutheringheights #moviemakeup #margotrobbie #chanelbeauty

In fact, the Chanel Lip and Cheek Balm has proven so popular, that at time of writing, it has completely sold out.

Whether you loved it or hated it - you can't say this movie hasn't had impact.
