In one of her most-talked about movie transformations to date, Margot Robbie played a convincing Harley Quinn in the 2016 movie, "Suicide Squad". She sported white pigtails with pink and blue to accessorize the character-inspired ensemble. Opening up to The Hollywood Reporter about her body transformation for the role, Margot's trainer Andie Hecker said, "Because of her costume, the butt was really important to focus on because the shorts were so short. She had to look sexy and strong."

In stark contrast to "Mary Queen of Scots", Margot looked back to her usual self on set of Quentin Tarantino's 1960s-based, star-studded drama, "Once Upon A Time", which is set for release in 2019. Appearing with sleek blonde waves and a retro-inspired ensemble, Margot plays American actress and model Sharon Tate who was briefly married to French-Polish film director Roman Polanski.
