Margot Robbie fans have defended the pregnant star after she was cruelly targeted by trolls online.

The mom-to-be is largely considered the most attractive woman in the world, and is undoubtedly at the top of her game as one of the most sought after actresses in the business.

Yet there are still people out there trying to drag her down.

It was confirmed the Barbie star, 34, is expecting her first child with husband Tom Ackerley back in July.

Ackerley, also aged 34, is an English film producer, actor, and former assistant director, and he co-founded the production company LuckyChap Entertainment along with his wife.

The pair's paths first crossed while working on World War II drama Suite Française in 2013. Ackerley served as assistant director while Robbie, naturally, was in front of the camera.

Since the announcement of their pregnancy, Robbie has proudly showed off her blossoming bump at film premieres - and has also been papped in a bikini while on vacation.

But earlier this month, an influencer hit out at 'misogynistic' comments the Australian beauty has been subjected to.

Alex Light pointed out the 'harmful' comments about Robbie in an Instagram video, slamming them as 'ridiculous'.

The British influencer, who has almost 600k followers on the platform, read out some of the comments - which were mostly left by men.

She then shared a powerful message about the 'impossible and unachievable societal expectations' imposed on women.

Light said: "I think we should let this serve as a reminder that no matter who we are or no matter what we look like, our bodies and the way we look will always be scrutinised.

"So let's just let ourselves live and be free of the burden of these impossible and unachievable societal expectations that affect literally all of us."

She added: "For the record, Margot Robbie looks great and she should be allowed to just enjoy her holiday without people dissecting how her body is changing."

In the post's caption, Light wrote: 'I mean HONESTLY it's just ridiculous at this point.

"And it just goes to show that no matter WHO you are - even if you are Margot f**king Robbie and considered to be like the most beautiful women on the planet - people will have *something* to say.

"Essentially, there's no way to win, so we might as well free ourselves of the harmful standards and just focus our attention outside of how we look."

Others were quick to comment on Light's video, also outraged at the hate Robbie has been facing.

One person penned: "Notice that all the comments are from men saying Margot - a visibly very slim woman, even while pregnant - is too big. Men literally will not be happy until women disappear. This isn't really about how she looks. It's about misogyny."

A second weighed in: "Men hate us for not wanting children and hate us when we're carrying a child. Make it make sense."

And referencing one of the cruel comments, another wrote: '''I would never let my girl get that big when she gets pregnant' is an extremely concerning statement."
