In the realm of celebrity fashion, few stand out as a result of style that feels unique and authentic, rather than simply the fruits of a savvy stylist’s labor. The likes of Rihanna, Doja Cat, Charli XCX, Julia Fox, Lil Nas X ,and Harry Styles are among this exclusive group, managing to blend personal taste with the latest runway trends. Now Anya Taylor-Joy appears to have set her sights on becoming one of those stars whose every outfit choice is unpacked at length, following a series of envelope-pushing looks.
This week, Taylor-Joy turned heads in New York City in a daring ensemble from Mugler’s fall 2024 collection: a quite literally backless burgundy leather minidress featuring asymmetrical sleeves and a provocative belt detail. Her look was elevated with burgundy suede pumps by Christian Louboutin and a bold silver cuff from the Tiffany Co. Elsa Peretti collection.
Earlier in the week, she paired high-waisted olive leather hot pants with a nude long-sleeve top and brown leather knee-high boots. Prior to that, at the Cannes Film Festival in the South of France, she wowed the crowd in a diaphanous Jacquemus dress and wide-brim straw hat, embodying Croisette chic. She also sported a navel-baring Jil Sander two-piece skirt suit with a 1920s-style cap.
While promoting her new film, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, meanwhile, Taylor-Joy showcased an array of bold looks. She wore Ludovic De Saint Sernin’s skin-baring leather strap minidress from his New York show, a spiky vintage Paco Rabanne haute couture number and a custom Balmain armour-like dress made of metal. The verdict? Anya Taylor-Joy is in her risk-taking fashion era, and we are excited to see where it takes her next.
