Margot Robbie was spotted on the set of Damien Chazelle’s new 1920s set film, Babylon, on Monday.
The 31-year-old stunning actress donned nothing but an oversized ‘Hollywood’ jersey as she strolled out of a mansion in Los Angeles.
The cast of the star studded Golden Age period piece also includes Brad Pitt and Tobey Maguire, and filming began in late August.

The Suicide Squad star has been sporting a curly mane of red hair on set to transform into character.
Though many specifics of her role are underwraps The Hollywood Reporter reported that she was set to play Clara Bow — a leading film star and sex symbol at the time — before it was re-worked to be a more fictional character.
It was originally given to Emma Stone, though she exited the film in December 2020 due to scheduling conflicts.
Robbie was seen in a retro baseball jersey outside of a historic mansion surrounded by a camera crew.
She flashed a smile while walking down the steps and the crew appeared to film her doing a walking scene as they trailed behind her.

The Australian beauty also showed some serious leg as she seemed to go without pants for the scene, and she looked to be barefoot.
Chazelle’s movie chronicles the transition from silent films to ‘talkies’ — movies that used synchronized dialogue for the first time.
The gradual transition to the next wave of film took place between 1926 and 1930 and began exclusively as short films.
The film is said to follow the rise and fall of multiple characters, and a source described the movie as ‘Great Gatsby on steroids.’
In addition to Robbie, Maguire and Pitt — all of which have been glimpsed on set in DailyMail.com photos — other cast members include: SNL’s Chloe Fineman, Jeff Garlin (The Goldbergs), Mexican actor Diego Calva, Jovan Adepo (Fences), Li Jun Li (Wu Assassins) and Katherine Waterston (Fantastic Beasts).

Pitt will reportedly be playing a fictional character based on the legendary actor/screenwriter-director, John Gilbert.
Calva is said to be playing a man climbing up the Hollywood ladder, starting out as an assistant.
And Deadline reported that Li would be playing an ‘elegant and magnetic singer/dancer/actress based on the iconic Anna May Wong.’
The Paramount film is set for limited release on Dec. 25, 2022 with a January, 6 wide opening.
