Margot Robbie might have walked the red carpet solo at the Oscars on Sunday evening but it was her husband keeping her company ahead of the A-list event.

Moments before she posed for photos outside the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, the 29-year-old shared a polaroid photograph of herself and husband Tom Ackerley wearing their glamourous attire.

In the snap, Robbie is wearing an off-the-shoulder navy blue Chanel dress, which is believed to be from the French luxury fashion house’s SS1994 Haute Couture collection. Meanwhile, her producer husband of three years wears a black tuxedo.

The polaroid is seen resting on a black Chanel bag which the actress carried during the evening.

During her red carpet appearance, actor Timothée Chalamet was seen hijacking her moment, much to her delight, by stepping to be alongside her in front of the photographers.

The Bombshell star looked overjoyed to see the actor and grabbed his face before he ran off.

Last week, Robbie expertly responded to an interviewer’s question about life at home with her husband, to whom she married in Byron Bay in 2016.

The Oscar-nominated actress recently appeared in a pre-recorded interview on the TV programme The Project, during which she was quizzed about life at home with her English beau.

Interviewer Carrie Bickmore asked the Robbie if she ever enjoys a moment of ‘Netflix and chills’ with Ackerley. The term has widely come to refer to watching the streaming platform with someone, before engaging in sexual activity.

‘We don't get as much downtime as we probably like, but we both really like what we do,’ the actress replied while trying to hide her embarrassment at the personal question.

‘We also have a lot of time to chill - actually that’s a lie we don’t have time to chill - but we have a lot of fun and we love what we do.'

Robbie is nominated for a ‘Best Actress In A Supporting Role’ Oscar for her appearance in Bombshell, competing against the likes of Florence Pugh and Laura Dern.
