By Mary Ward

This morning, Margot Robbie was announced as the latest ambassador for French fashion house Chanel.

And, based on the events that followed, she could really run the whole business if she had to.

The Australian actor made her debut for the fashion house on the Oscars red carpet (no biggie, just a soft launch), wearing a white haute couture gown from the brand. But, while things were picture perfect in front of the cameras, once she made it backstage one of the dress's beaded straps reportedly fell off.

Multiple outlets reported seeing the 27-year-old receive a sewing kit from an assistant, before promptly sewing the strap back on herself.
