Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi turn up the heat in sultry Vogue Australia cover shoot

Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi have turned up the heat in a sizzling cover shoot for Vogue Australia.

The Australian actors put on a sultry display for two alternate covers for the magazine's February issue, which hits stands on Monday, 2 February.

The first shows Margot, 35, and Jacob, 28, locked in a passionate embrace as Jacob stares longingly at his co-star.

Margot wore an elaborate black and gold Versace bralette and matching shorts for the shot, accessorising with a pair of earrings from Australian label Paspaley.

Meanwhile, Jacob smouldered in a plain black tank top and Versace jeans, finishing his look with Cartier earrings and a matching necklace and ring. 

The second cover showed the pair reclining on a couch with their arms around each other.

This time, Margot opted for a plain black Chanel bralette with a black, sheer patterned skirt.

Jacob showed off his sartorial style in a fleecy Bottega Veneta jacket over a crisp white tank top.  

One image from the shoot showed Margot and Jacob posing in a kitchen, with the Barbie star wearing  a black bralette under a pair of loose-fitting overalls.

Jacob cut a dapper figure in an ivory-coloured Tom Ford suit.

Margot looked absolutely stunning in another shot that showed her posing on a classic Chevy Impala convertible.

She showed off her enviable figure in a form-fitting Hermès mini dress and a striking Paspaley necklace, while Jacob wore a black Bottega Veneta jacket and matching pants with a crisp white collared shirt.

The pair are set to sizzle on the big screen in the latest adaptation of Emily Brontë's iconic gothic romance Wuthering Heights.   

In the accompanying interview, the pair, who were both born in Queensland, reflected on their journeys from the Sunshine State to Hollywood.

'I mean, it's kind of hilarious that two Queenslanders are the lead in this iconic British literary classic,' Margot said.

'Because, we're not even from Sydney, you know? Everyone in Australia's probably like, "These couple of bogans."'

Margot also admitted she dreamed she would beat the tyranny of distance and make it to Tinseltown.   

'I remember thinking it was so far away and so impossible to be from the Gold Coast and make it in Hollywood,' she said. 'I think if someone had done it before me, from even just anywhere in Queensland, I think I would have gone after it sooner.'

Jacob agreed, admitting to hanging around at Movie World on the Gold Coast hoping for a big break.

'I remember there was a period where I was thinking if I just hang out around Movie World, maybe I’ll get cast,' he said. 'Maybe someone from the studios would walk past, having a cigarette.'
