And on Monday the 28-year-old was seen leaving the set of Once upon a Time in Hollywood after her first day of filming.
Looking casual in a white shirt and white cut-off shorts, the actress appeared to have changed out of her costume for the day and was en route home.

Sporting a makeup-free visage, the Australian star wore her hair in a high ponytail curled into a loose bun, long dark roots showing among her blonde streaks.
Carrying a blue denim jacket and wearing simple white sneakers, Margot looked fresh albeit a ta tired from her day of work.
She carried a phone, what appeared to be a script and a notepad in her arms as she closed a white gate.

Tragic end: Sharon Tate (pictured in 1966) was murdered by Manson family members Charles ‘Tex’ Watson, Susan Atkins and Patricia Krenwinkel in August 1969
‘First look. #OnceUponATimeInHollywood @onceinhollywood’ Margot wrote, tagging the upcoming movie.
The Oscar nominee was confirmed to be taking on the role back in May and has revealed it’s been a longtime dream of hers to work with director Quentin Tarantino.
The film’s storyline, set against the backdrop of the Manson Family murders, casts Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt as Hollywood has-beens looking for a way back on top in the 1960s.
Manson Family members Charles ‘Tex’ Watson, Susan Atkins and Patricia Krenwinkel butchered Sharon at her and her husband Roman Polanski’s Los Angeles home in August 1969 – leaving the word ‘PIG’ scrawled on the front door in Sharon’s blood.
