Australian sweetheart Margot Robbie has captured the hearts of Aussies nationwide as she dazzled on the 2024 Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts Awards red carpet, picking up a prestigious award in the process.

The AACTAs, held on Saturday on the Gold Coast, saw the 33-year-old Barbie star grace the red carpet in a sparkling, figure-hugging dress reminiscent of Old Hollywood glamour.

Robbie — who grew up on the Gold Coast — later accepted the prestigious AACTA Trailblazer Award in recognition of what the Australian Academy said was her “versatile talent and captivating performances”.
