NEED TO KNOW

Jacob Elordi's basically going method.
One of the actor's pearly whites turned glistening gold as part of his latest look on the Wuthering Heights press tour. The actor debuted a metallic tooth with diamonds and a special engraving on it for the Sydney premiere red carpet on Tuesday, Feb. 12.
Photographers might have had to reconsider their camera flash settings when snapping shots of a grinning Elordi, 28, whose right incisor was covered by a 14-karat-gold cap that shone just as bright as the star on screen alongside his costar Margot Robbie in the film.

The designer behind the dazzling detail is Maison Raksha, who has collaborated with Elordi on creating custom grills in the past. For their latest team-up, he worked with the actor on the design and symbolism behind his twinkling tooth.
"C + H," are hand-graved in script on the front of the gold glint, letters that represent Robbie, 35, and Elordi's characters — Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff — in the film, which is based on Emily Brontë's novel of the same name.
The engraved initials are sandwiched between star-set diamonds "to signify the love between characters," explains Raksha in her Instagram caption alongside photos of her creation.

Jacob Elordi has been channeling his character at premieres from Los Angeles to London and Paris, albeit more subtly, in high-neck collars and sharp suits befitting the brooding foundling-turned-gentleman.
Furthermore, Elordi's blinged tooth pays homage to the golden tooth his character wears in the movie, proving to go a bit method with his red carpet dressing like his costar Robbie has been doing since the Wuthering Heights press tour began.
For the rest of his outfit, Elordi wore a coordinating light blue suit layered over a matching blue button-down shirt and navy tie. He rocked a shaggy hairstyle on top and white loafers on the bottom.
He posed alongside Robbie, who slipped into a custom Ashi Studio Couture, featuring a white corseted top and a sheer, floor-length skirt with ruffled detailing that elegantly trailed behind her as she walked the red carpet.

The steamy adaptation of Brontë's 1847 novel follows childhood friends Robbie's Catherine and Elordi's Heathcliff, whose differing social statuses threaten the romantic feelings they eventually realize they have for each other.
Ahead of the movie's Feb. 13 premiere, the stars shared many sweet moments on the press tour. The duo's chemistry is evident both on and off the screen, and each has spoken highly about the other in interviews.
After Robbie gushed about growing close to Elordi, he praised his costar and said they have a "mutual obsession" with each other.
"If you have the opportunity to share a film set with Margot Robbie, you're going to make sure you're within 5 to 10 meters at all times, watching how she drinks tea, how she eats her food," he said. "She's just like an elite actor."
