No, Emma Mackey and Margot Robie are not sisters. They are not related to each other.

Since Sex Education premiered and made Emma Mackey an overnight sensation, fans have been fascinated by how much she looks like Margot Robbie. Some even thought they were sisters. However, they're not related by blood.

Emma Mackey and Margot Robbie share a striking resemblance, especially as co-stars in the movie Barbie. Many fans believe that Margot Robbie and Emma Mackey could be twins separated at birth, but that's not the case. Emma Mackey herself has confirmed they're not siblings.

Their facial expressions, photos, and their characters' appearances in the movie can be similar, but their likeness has no connection to their family ties.

The family trees of Emma Mackey and Margot Robbie are entirely separate. They couldn't be related since they come from different countries with distinct cultures and ethnicities. They had never even met before signing up for the Barbie movie.

Are Emma Mackey and Margot Robbie sisters?

The way Margot Robbie and Emma Mackey look alike is quite remarkable, but Mackey wants people to stop comparing them. "I honestly don't see the resemblance," she told the Independent. "It's nice to be compared to Margot Robbie, but I'd rather people focus on the work we both do instead of how we look."

Mackey expressed her frustration with the constant habit of comparing people in the entertainment industry. "Hollywood often produces individuals who appear similar, and we tend to label and categorize people," Mackey said. "It's something we've always done as a species."

Robbie has also fallen victim to this confusion and she shared on BBC Radio 1 that she's been mistaken for Mackey in public.

"I was eating a burger when someone approached me and said, 'I loved you in Sex Education, that show is so cool, we just started watching it,'" said Robbie. "And I had to say, 'I'm really sorry, but that's not me.'"
