Margot Robbieis back in movie star Barbie mode.

The Oscar-nominated actress made her return to the red carpet nearly a year after she and husband Tom Ackerleywelcomed a baby boy, whose name has not yet been shared. 

Margot posed alongside her A Big Bold Beautiful Journeycostar Colin Farrell as the two celebrated their upcoming romantic fantasy at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills Aug. 20. 

The 35-year-old cut a stunning figure in a black, fitted mini-dress, paired with strappy black heels and her iconic blonde hair. Colin went for a more casual look, donning blue jeans and a white t-shirt with a black cardigan. 

Not only does the outing mark Margot’s first such event since becoming a mom, butA Big Bold Beautiful Journey is also her first time back on the big screen since 2023’s Barbie

And theWolf of Wall Streetactress appears to be jumping right back into work following the birth of her son, as she was spotted filming Emerald Fennell’s upcoming adaptation of Wuthering Heights back in March.

But even when she’s out and about, Margot has ways of keeping her baby boy close by. In fact, the new mom showed off a sweet piece of jewelry while enjoying a swim in Australia in April: a gold necklace that said “mama.”

And like the subtle references to their son, Margot and Tom—who are not only married, but are also producing partners through their company LuckyChap—have rarely been subtle when it comes to gushing about their own love story

“We were friends for so long,” she confessed to Vogue in 2016, the year they got married. “I was always in love with him, but I thought, 'Oh, he would never love me back. Don't make it weird, Margot. Don't be stupid and tell him that you like him.'"

But as she explained, “It happened and I was like, 'Of course we're together. This makes so much sense, the way nothing has ever made sense before.'"

For a look back at the couple’s relationship, keep reading. 

After meeting on the set of Suite Française, Margot Robbie and Tom Ackerley co-founded a production company called LuckyChap Entertainment alongside friends Josey McNamara and Sophia Kerr.

The business partners lived together in a three-bedroom house in London's Clapham neighborhood which they shared between seven people. 

While living under the same roof, the actress and third assistant director went from friends to something more.

“We kept it a secret because we weren't really taking it seriously,” she told Ellein a 2018 interview. “’Oh, whatever, we're just mates, we're just mates.’ And then… everyone found out.”

The couple confirmed their romance during a PDA-outing to a New York Rangers game in February 2015.

Robbie revealedthat she was always in love with Ackerley and initially thought her feelings toward who she describes as “the best-looking guy in London” were one-sided.

“I was the ultimate single gal. The idea of relationships made me want to vomit," she told Vogue.  "And then this crept up on me. We were friends for so long. I was always in love with him, but I thought, 'Oh, he would never love me back. Don’t make it weird, Margot. Don’t be stupid and tell him that you like him.' And then it happened, and I was like, 'Of course we’re together. This makes so much sense, the way nothing has ever made sense before.'” 

The longtime coupletied the knotduring a private ceremony in Australia’s Byron Bay.

Robbie raised eyebrows while wearing a shirt that read “Say I Do Down Under,” before officially confirming the nuptials by flashing her sparkling ring finger post-wedding.

The pair, who co-produced the Oscar winning film I, Tonya, revealed that they delayed their honeymoon to shoot the movie.

“We did this film instead of our honeymoon,” Robbie told Extra. “There were times we were sitting in a car parked in Atlanta freezing cold being like, 'We should be on a beach right now. We should be on a honeymoon. What are we doing?!' Following our dream.”

Ackerley joined Robbie, who wore a stunning outfit inspired by the 1961 “Solo in the Spotlight” edition of Barbie, at the world premiere ofBarbie and stayed by her side throughout the press tour. 

The duo enjoyed a vacation for the first time since the Barbie press tour sharing a passionate kiss in the Grecian waters. 

While the couple prefers to keep their romance out of the spotlight, Robbie praised her “normie” husband at the 2024 Critic’s Choice Awards.

"I am so lucky," Robbie told E! News' Chief Correspondent Keltie Knight on the red carpet. "He likes being behind the camera. He's not fazed by any of this stuff."

Ackerley attended the Academy Awards for the first time as a nominee, experiencing it with Robbie - who has been nominated for three Oscars - by his side.

"It's amazing," he told A Frame. "It's obviously incredibly overwhelming at times, but it's such a celebration of cinema. And being at the center of it, it's a dream come true, truthfully."

Barbie received eight nominations in total, including Best Picture. 

After debuting her baby bump in July 2024, it was reported in November 2024 that the couple had welcomed their first child together: a baby boy, whose name has not been shared.
