Margot Robbie Shows Solidarity with Writers Guild

templederr@lemmy.world to World News@lemmy.world – 553 points –

Margot Robbie proved she can make even the most casual look runway-ready as she took to the streets during Wednesday’s SAG-AFTRA rally. The Barbie star, 33, was a vision in an oversized white tee, putting her own stylish spin on the protest uniform. With her signature blonde locks flowing freely and chic sunnies shielding her eyes, Margot commanded attention as she proudly held her poster high during the march from Netflix to Paramount Studios.

The Australian beauty was joined by fellow Aussie actress and friend Samara Weaving, who sported a similarly laidback look of green shorts and a white cap. But all eyes were on Margot as she led the pack of protestors through West Hollywood in her effortlessly cool white kicks.

Margot and her fellow actors are currently united with the Writers Guild in the first “double strike” the entertainment industry has seen in over 60 years. The united front is aiming to get more equitable pay and protect workers from being replaced by AI, among other important issues. Read more...

Geez, they couldn't write an article about the strike and the issues rather than how "runway-ready" she looks in a t-shirt?

Right? What a ridiculous article. We are all a little more stupid now.

Right? Margot Robbie is a fucking stunner, not like we didn’t all already know that. It’s not like she played Barbie or anything.

We’re the only known example of intelligent life in the universe, and we’re squandering it on these kinds of head-ass takes..

"Ohai, did you know, hot people can be workers too!"

The real question is, are hot people allowed to shitpost on an obscure tech forum?

Well we seem to be getting away with it, so ...

I do it as a service. The more chronically online I am, the fewer people are hurt by being distracted by my irresistible in-person allure. I'm sure you relate.

Yes, because I've seen your posts elsewhere and you are definitely intelligent enough to hold your own.

No objection to you being hot (not sure how to say that without being creepy, but oh well). My objection is only that they could reference the strike first rather than what you are wearing.

Woah, I had no idea you were on Lemmy, that's fucking awesome!

Are people actually thinking you’re the real Margot Robbie?

She obviously is. She's said so dozens of times! And really, who would just go on the internet and lie like that? ;)

Not esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Elise Robbie, that's for sure.

Is the woman to her right the actress that plays Nynaeve on Wheel of Time?

It's an article on a fashion site. And it does inform the average person all they really need to know about the strike in two sentences.

If anything, they wrote the article specifically to draw attention to the strike. She's wearing an oversized T-shirt ffs.

Geez, people. Feminine magazines have always been like this. Everyone knows that we women are incapable of caring about or understanding anything except clothes, diets, and home decor, so we must appeal to these interests rather than talking about this difficult boring stuff like writers' strike. What exactly do these writers do anyway? Why are they striking rather than writing? It sounds boring. Please tell me more about Margot's outfit, which I will wear after losing 50lb.

Gloria Steinem is rolling in her grave and she's not even dead.

Well you see what happened was she was given the exact same t-shirt that everyone else has on, and then she put it on. I'm not sure we'll be able to successfully recreate such magic.

Well, the real writers are on strike so...

Yeah I know, not the same type of writers.
