"Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn)" is the latest film based on comic-book characters, and it features a star-studded cast.
"BoP" was directed by Cathy Yan and stars Margot Robbie, who reprises her role as the titular character after making her debut in 2016's "Suicide Squad." This time around, Harley explores her newfound freedom following her breakup with the Joker.
The film also shows the formation of the all-female vigilante group known as the Birds of Prey, which includes Harley, Black Canary, and the Huntress.

Robbie has a partnership with the brand Chanel and often wears their outfits during red carpet appearances. She also tends to wear lighter makeup than her "BoP" character.
The actress starred on the Australian soap "Neighbours" and her breakout role came in Martin Scorsese's 2013 Oscar-nominated film "The Wolf of Wall Street."
