Australian actress Margot Robbie cemented her breakout status by playing Naomi Lapaglia in The Wolf of Wall Street, directed by Martin Scorsese and released in December 2013.
The film premiered in New York City on December 17 and became a critical and commercial hit. Robbie’s bold performance, including her now-infamous nude scene, became a major talking point. She later opened up about how intense the scene was to film, revealing surprising behind-the-scenes details.
She co-stars with Leonardo DiCaprio, Jonah Hill, Kyle Chandler, Rob Reiner, and Matthew McConaughey.

Margot donned an Armani Privè gown for the New York premiere of the movie, but for the London premiere, she opted for an Oscar de la Renta Pre-Fall 2014 gown featuring a tulip-shaped skirt.

The then-23-year-old Australian actress styled the conservative dress with metallic bronze Christian Louboutin “So Kate” pumps, which helped elongate her 5ft 5½ (166.4 cm) frame and added a sleek, leg-lengthening effect to the structured silhouette.

These standout moments underscore the glamour of metallic heels, but even the most stunning shoes can falter if the fit isn’t right. In Margot Robbie’s case, her bronze Louboutins appeared noticeably oversized.
To prevent pumps or high heels from being too large, consider using insoles, heel grips, or cushioned inserts to fill the extra space and provide a snugger fit. Other helpful tricks include wearing thicker socks, attaching elastic bands inside the shoe, or using discreet shoe fillers for better stability and comfort.
