Margot Robbie Stylist

Margot Robbie wearing Gucci at the Golden Globes. This dress was originally meant to be a different colour, but we switched it to black to support Time's Up, says Young.

“Everything is ready, ” Kate Young confirms of the dress that her client Margot Robbie will be wearing to the Oscars this Sunday. “The designer and style were in place about five weeks ago, the colour we confirmed about three weeks ago. This is one dress you do not leave to the last minute.”

Just as the night will be a pivotal moment in Robbie’s career, it will also be a high stakes one for her stylist. Finding the right design house to collaborate with is essential, Young explains, and brands are willing to invest a lot in what could be the winning picture on the front pages of the world’s papers the next day.

. “Designers are willing to make custom things and spend a lot of time and money developing something unique, which wouldn’t be feasible for them to do at any other time.”

“It’s not just a premiere dress that no one will remember. These pictures live for a long time and you have to think about how the dress will stand up in history. Best dressed lists are important, of course I want the dress to be the best there on the night. But also I want it to be the dress that everybody copies for prom, or their wedding, and that everyone remembers ‘that time Margot Robbie wore…’”

, reaching its peak when she secured a Best Actress nomination. The film’s launch events have taken her on tour around the globe, and her packed schedule has been interspersed with other award show nominations (BAFTAs, Golden Globes, you name it) as well as premieres for another film she is currently promoting,

Every event on Robbie’s packed schedule, naturally, requires an outfit, presenting Young with her very own fashion campaign to manage alongside the movie star’s work. From raffia striped Chanel at the Critics' Choice Awards in January, to black Givenchy in support of Time’s Up at the BAFTAs in February, she has so far successfully navigated her client through a sartorial minefield, despite there being plenty of opportunities to trip up.

“I like to have an overarching theme, so at the start of a campaign she and I traded a lot of pictures and made mood boards to give us some direction, ” Young explains of her process. “The theme for the

Tour and awards shows has been Nineties supermodels, so we had a lot of great pictures of Claudia Schiffer and Tatjana Patitz and we were looking at a mix of the minimalism from that era, but also the glamour and the joyful colour that came.”

“Pacing is very important on a long tour, ” she attests. “You don’t find a great gown and just use it for whatever premiere is next, you hold it back for the best event possible for it. It’s an arc, and you have to plan it and keep it interesting.”

Mixing things up for a client is one of Young’s specialities. She started working with Robbie in February 2016, just as the actress was breaking away from her soap opera past as a star of

. Robbie’s part in the film was small but significant and while she wasn’t nominated herself that night, the gold Tom Ford dress that Young chose for her helped to secure her status as one to watch on the red carpet.

Young also styles Selena Gomez, Natalie Portman and Sienna Miller, and has undoubtedly helped each of them to cement their place in the fashion world. With all of her clients, she wants to help them push the envelope, something that can prompt fascinating reactions from fans.

“It is important to me what people think, ” she admits. “I’m ambitious, I care about my work and whether it’s successful. Instagram is harsh, when the [star’s] fans like something it feels really good, but it feels terrible when they hate it. Some of my clients have very vocal fan bases - I get a lot of hate mail before awards shows sometimes, like ‘don’t f**k it up, don’t ruin our queen’.”

“In reality it matters far more to me firstly what my clients think and also what my peers think. I can’t always give the crowd what they want. I’m not gonna dress my clients like princesses and put them in sparkly strapless puffball gowns all the time, just because I know that would please a large segment of the Instagram community. That’s not what I’m hired to do. In some ways I need a bunch of them to hate me, in order for me to have done my job properly.”

Presenting an interesting image has also helped Young’s clients to win big commercial deals over the years  - Selena Gomez collaborated with Louis Vuitton and Coach, Portman is a Dior ambassador and Robbie has landed Calvin Klein adverts.

Still, Robbie did a fashion marathon of Barbiecore looks and sometimes straight Barbie doll outfit recreations in five cities: Los Angeles, Sydney, Seoul, Mexico City, and London. Her stylist Andrew Mukamal celebrated this by dropping photos of six press tour outfits that didn't get as much if any news coverage. Four out of six were very, very pink.
