Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi have appeared on screen together as lovers in a new Chanel advert after their casting in Wuthering Heights.
The Hollywood stars, who both worked on Saltburn, have been named as the new faces of Chanel No5 and have marked their new venture with a romantic new advert.
The luxury French fashion house unveiled the fragrance commercial titled See You at 5 on Monday, which sees Aussie stars Margot, 34, and Jacob, 27, feature as lovers.
The clip, directed by Luca Guadagnino, kicks off with Margot looking as glamorous as ever in a black dress as she sits in a window seat and checks her phone.
With a knowing smile, she writes a message that says, ‘See you at five,’ with Margot’s voice being heard whispering the words, which are also the short film’s title.
The Barbie actress, who will soon star as Jacob’s romantic lead in Wuthering Heights, then slips into an elegant red two-piece and applies Chanel No5 ready for her date.
She looks effortlessly chic in a rouge cropped jacket and matching mini skirt that flaunts Chanel’s iconic details and gold buttons as she climbs into a luxury car.
Margot gives herself a few extra inches in a pair of simple black heels to complete her look as shots show her driving in a convertible car through the California hills.
The scene then shifts to Jacob, who looks as dashing as ever in a white T-shirt and smart trousers as he grins while receiving the text from Margot.
The commercial then transitions to a breathtaking shot of Margot standing on a balcony gazing over the vast ocean as she waits for Jacob’s arrival.
Margot then dives into the water wearing in a red halter-neck swimming costume, while Jacob stands on a balcony and gives a subtle smirk.

The pair never appear on screen together, and their love story is left ambiguous as it remains to be seen whether they will be ever united for their rendezvous.
Sharing the advert to Instagram, Chanel teased in a caption: ‘A woman… In the new N°5 film, See You at 5, Luca Guadagnino’s lens follows Margot Robbie along the roads of California.’
‘The story of two lovers’ missed connections that lead a woman toward her destiny. Will there be a rendez-vous waiting at the end of the journey? Or is the rendez-vous itself the journey?’
Fans were quick to take to the comments section to heap praise on the commercial as they shared their delight over the two Aussie stars appearing on screen together.
One user wrote: ‘Two Aussies the faces of Chanel No. 5 – love it,’ while another said: ‘Australians are really good looking.’
Margot has worked with Chanel for six years, first as an ambassador for Chanel while she was also named as the face of Chanel’s Gabrielle perfume in 2019.

‘I think Chanel N°5 is one of the most iconic fragrances in the world. It’s incredible to be a part of it,’ Margot said of her newest appointment.
‘There’s such an impressive lineage of women who’ve been associated with the fragrance over the years. I am very honoured to be joining that long list of incredible talents.’
Margot is following the footsteps of other notable stars like Marilyn Monroe and Brad Pitt, while Nicole Kidman also famously fronted the brand’s iconic perfume in 2004.
Margot and Jacob’s work with Chanel comes ahead of their stint on screen together in an adaptation of Emily Bronte’s classic, Wuthering Heights.
In Emerald Fennell’s upcoming release, Jacob will take on the leading role of Heathcliff while Margot will portray his love interest Catherine Earnshaw.
However, the casting has proved divisive among fans as many took issue with the two actors nabbing the leading roles.
Fans were puzzled by the casting choice, noting that Catherine, who is no older than 19 in the novel, is being played by 34-year-old Margot.
Meanwhile, Heathcliff, whose character is about 40 by the end of the story, will be portrayed by 27-year-old Jacob.
Some also took to social media to accuse producers of ‘whitewashing’ the leading role of Heathcliff, who is described as ‘dark-skinned’ in the novel and is subjected to racist abuse.
Some fans also criticised the decision to use actors who they felt ‘look like they belong on Instagram’ in a period film set in the 1800s.
Others even questioned whether director Emerald, 38, who also directed Saltburn, has actually read Brontë’s classic novel.

Margot and Jacob are no strangers to working together as the actress produced Saltburn in which Jacob starred, and she recently gushed about him in an interview.
She told Harper’s Bazaar: ‘He’s wonderful. And as you said, I worked with him on Saltburn in a producer-actor capacity.
‘So I haven’t shared the screen with him before, but I know I’ve seen him on set, I’ve been around him on set, and he’s just—he’s got an incredible presence.
‘He’s a movie star—he’s got that charisma. He holds a frame. He’s also really lovely and from the same state that I’m from in Australia.
‘We’re about an hour away from each other, but he’s from Brisbane, and I’m from the Gold Coast.’
Of the Chanel No5 campaign, she added: ‘Even though the whole point of our film is that we cross paths and miss each other, it still felt like we did the campaign together.’
