ACTRESS Margot Robbie hits a Hollywood height at her new film’s premiere — wearing a £6million necklace once owned by Elizabeth Taylor.
The Taj Mahal diamond is a heart-shaped gold pendant set in jade and hanging from a gold, ruby and diamond chain made by Cartier.
It was given to Elizabeth by fifth hubby Richard Burton for her 40th in 1972.
Margot wore it to the world premiere of Wuthering Heights in Los Angeles, where she was earlier joined by co-star Jacob Elordi and singer Charli XCX, who recorded the film’s soundtrack.
The actress, Cathy in the adaptation of Emily Bronte’s 1847 novel, said the necklace was poignant as it had “a lot of romantic history”.
She said: “It’s our big Hollywood world premiere — we’ve got to go all out.
“This is Elizabeth Taylor’s necklace. It’s the Taj Mahal diamond that Richard Burton gave to her.
“There’s something kind of Cathy and Heathcliff about Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor in my mind, so it felt appropriate.”
The diamond was created for a 17th century Mughal emperor who commissioned the Taj Mahal.
It was later acquired by Cartier, with Burton buying it from them to give to Elizabeth.
Following her death in 2011, it was sold at auction for £6million to an anonymous buyer.
