Margot Robbie might have been our new style crush in December, but last night's awkward Delpozo dress has got us questioning her style credentials

Margot Robbie stamped herself as somewhat of a style savvy actress while working the press junkets for new film The Wolf of Wall Street in December. In fact, we're not afraid to admit it; we practically swooned over her ability to put a monochrome outfit together.
The rising star posed in one-shouldered, sweeping Armani Privé gowns, Peter Pan collared Ralph Lauren tops and delectable, checked Oscar de la Renta dresses, all in her signature black-and-white colour scheme.

For 2014, Margot seems to have gone down the 'if it ain't broke, why fix it?' route with regards to her style. Except that last night her formula let her down.

Gracing a screening of The Wolf of Wall Street in her native Australia, Margot looked to Spanish brand Delpozo for something special.
But, in what can only have been a blip in her style conscious, Margot eschewed the brand's whimsical, feminine designs for something akin to a French maid's outfit, complete with an embellished bib.

The bib in question features not one, but six clusters of sequin and bead detailing that one member of the Telegraph Fashion team likened to a piece of cornicing that had fallen from a decorated ceiling. The most unfortunate part, however, was the nude-yellow side panel of the dress, which did nothing to offset Margot's glowing skin tone.

Perhaps the 23-year-old was over-excited to be in her native country or perhaps an over-enthusiastic stylist warped her judgment. We trust Margot will be back on true form come awards season though.
