Tube Tops, Tanks, and Corsets—Margot Robbie's Euro Summer Looks Feature the Season's Biggest Trends
Our take

The reign of the ubiquitous white tee appears to be waning, at least within the celebrity style sphere. It’s a subtle shift, but one that speaks volumes about the evolving landscape of fashion trends. While the classic white tee will undoubtedly remain a wardrobe staple for many, the current mood favors something a bit more… intentional. Margot Robbie's recent Euro summer looks, showcasing tube tops, tanks, and even corsets, exemplify this move away from effortless basics and towards a more curated, statement-driven aesthetic. This isn't a rejection of simplicity; rather, it's a refinement, a search for a different kind of ease—one that comes from a considered choice rather than a default option. The shift also mirrors a broader cyclical trend, as evidenced by the recent resurgence of early 2000s accessories, which Fashion People Are Accessorising Like It’s 2006 Again—6 Trends Making a Comeback 20 Years Later[/post/fashion-people-are-accessorising-like-it-s-2006-again-6-tren-cmsym89190hudmi9zapmyovwi], demonstrating a willingness to embrace past aesthetics with a modern sensibility.
This movement feels particularly resonant within the context of current style conversations. We've seen a gradual move away from the hyper-minimalism of the "clean girl" aesthetic—a trend that, as noted in Clean Girl Nails Are Over—Leo Season Calls For Metallic Nails[/post/clean-girl-nails-are-over-leo-season-calls-for-metallic-nail-cmsyyz8t20i33mi9zb9prmetd], is giving way to bolder, more expressive choices. Robbie’s looks align with this, showcasing a confidence in embracing trends—the corset, for instance—without feeling beholden to any single, prescriptive style. It’s about individual expression, about playing with silhouettes and textures in a way that feels both playful and sophisticated. The fact that she’s also been spotted wearing the Sophisticated Skirt-and-Shoe Combination That French Girls Love[/post/margot-robbie-just-wore-the-sophisticated-skirt-and-shoe-com-cmsym71u10htfmi9zx1wknetk] further underscores this: a focus on timeless pieces elevated by a deliberate styling choice.
The broader significance of this trend lies in its reflection of a larger cultural shift. We’re moving away from a culture of constant, effortless cool and towards one that values intentionality and self-expression. Fashion, as always, is a mirror of this. The rejection of the white tee isn't about declaring a new "must-have" item; it’s about signaling a desire for something more considered, more personal. It suggests a move away from the idea that style should be about blending in and towards an embrace of individuality, even if that means experimenting with bolder silhouettes and embracing fleeting trends. It's a subtle but powerful statement – a quiet declaration of personal style.
Looking ahead, it’s intriguing to consider how this trend will evolve. Will we see a continued embrace of Y2K-inspired silhouettes, or will the focus shift towards other, equally unexpected revivals? The key will be maintaining the balance between embracing trends and retaining a sense of personal style—a balance that Margot Robbie seems to have mastered effortlessly. Will the rejection of the white tee become a permanent fixture in the celebrity style playbook, or is this simply a seasonal shift destined to fade with the changing temperatures? The answer, as always, likely lies in the evolving conversation around self-expression and the ongoing search for a style that feels both authentic and undeniably chic.
Plain white tees, while classic and effortlessly cool, have fallen to the bottom of the Summer Shirt Trend leaderboard. It seems celebrities are on a mission to wear anything but the timeless staple right now. Last weekend, Margot Robbie hid all traces of white T-shirts in her Parisian hotel in favor of a tube top, tank top, and corset.
Following her arrival in early July, the Barbie actor has spent her Euro summer channeling the unfussiness of French girl fashion. On Friday, August 14, paparazzi spotted Robbie's bone-in bustier, which featured a square neckline and a curved, hip-revealing hem. Not only did the corset top revive the gothic Victorian-era glamour of her Wuthering Heights press tour, but it also hit on a big trend: Wiederhoft, McQueen, Carolina Herrera, and Erdem debuted similar styles on Spring/Summer 2026 runways.
To finish her off-duty outfit, Robbie committed to the all-black color story with a low-rise slip skirt from With Jéan, her beloved Le Teckel Bag by Alaïa, and the T-strap shoe trend.

While roaming a farmers market a few days later, Robbie debuted another anti-T-shirt option: a strapless tube top from Frankies Bikinis. The strawberry red bandeau, which is still available (for under $70!), tapped into another summer 2026 trend: stripes. She paired the look, seen on Loewe's and Ralph Lauren's stripe-splattered runways, with distressed jean shorts, suede dad sandals, and a baseball cap.

For her latest late-summer-inspired look on Aug. 17, Robbie layered a cropped tank beneath a billowy taupe jumpsuit with a plunging neckline and spaghetti straps. Robbie isn't the only A-lister to test compact tank tops this summer: Gigi Hadid and Dakota Johnson sported shorter hemlines in L.A., Paris, and every fashion hotspot in between. With an easy onesie, though, it just might be our favorite pairing of the season.

Take it from Robbie: Now's your chance to test all of those shirt trends still on your summer bucket list, because before you know it, long sleeves will be the norm once again. To serve some last-minute warm-weather looks, shop the Robbie-approved tube tops, tanks, and corsets below.
