'Suicide Squad' News: Margot Robbie on Costume
With the upcoming DC film "Suicide Squad" fast approaching, one of the stars of the film shared her experience while taking on an iconic DC character.
Fans have been waiting to see the group of notorious DC villains gracing the big screen when "Suicide Squad" was announced. The group is expected to introduce several characters to the DC extended universe, which excited many of the comic book fans.
It was previously revealed that Margot Robbie will be taking on the role of Harley Quinn. Fans of the character were surprised to see the film's interpretation of the character, which steered away from her popular costume. In the comics, Harley Quinn was seen donning a jester attire. However, the recent "Suicide Squad" trailers showed the character in another kind of outfit.

It was reported that the film will portray a more punk-rock look for Harley Quinn, which showed more skin as the actress wore short shorts and a tight shirt. Robbie recently spoke to the New York Times about the character's outfit, sharing that she felt self conscious while wearing it.
She said, "As Margot, no, I don't like wearing that. I'm eating burgers at lunchtime, and then you go do a scene where you're hosed down and soaking wet in a white T-shirt, it's so clingy and you're self-conscious about it."
While her costume received a lot of criticism from the fans, Robbie explained that they had gone through several outfits in order to find the right one for the character. She told Hello Giggles, "I cannot emphasis enough how many outfits, and how many variations of the Harley Quinn costume we tried. We tried the court jester costume, we tried the corset and skirt, we tried leather pants, we tried literally every type of costume possible for her. I really love where we ended up. And who knows, maybe in the sequels we'll go with the court jester one."
"Suicide Squad" is expected to hit theaters this August.
