Vogue’s “Life in Looks” series.She recalled a distinct moment while filming “Once Upon a Time in … Hollywood” — which reportedly features 36 shots of feet — where director Quentin Tarantino, rumored to have a foot fetish, instructed her to not wash her soles prior to shooting a scene.In the 2019 film about Hollywood in 1969, Robbie plays Sharon Tate, a notoriously shoe-averse actress and model who was a victim of the infamous Manson murders.Robbie recalled a scene where her character struts into a movie theater to view herself in a feature film, kicks off her chic go-go boots and props up her tootsies on the seat in front of her. “My feet were dirty because I’d been walking around set all day,” she said. “They stayed dirty in the movie because Quentin said, ‘Don’t.
