In 2024, Anya Taylor-Joy did an exercise in style, and styling, worthy of praise during the promotion of Dune: part two (directed by Denis Villeneuve, where she plays Alia Atreides) and Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (by George Miller, who starred). On the red carpets of that season she let her imagination fly: now she appeared like a Zurbarán saint in immaculate white Dior and now she was seen as a goddess cyberpunk crowned with arrows with an archive Paco Rabanne. The actress, who will turn 30 in April 2026, is already preparing for a new promotional tour for the third part of Dune next year, and at the Marrakech International Film Festival, in which he has participated these days, he has made it clear that his stylistic choices will continue to make people talk. For the closing of the contest—of whose jury he was a member in this edition, the 22nd, along with figures such as the director Julia Ducournau and the actress Jenna Ortega—he wanted to take a tour of the look gothic so present this season, with a sophisticated slip dress by Tom Ford.
“Fashion started as a way to feel comfortable,” the actress said last year in an interview with the American edition of Harper’s Baazar“the very experience of a red carpet gave me a lot of anxiety. I found that if I gave it a more artistic touch, it just deactivated a part of my brain that would normally scare me and instead excited me. It felt like a kind of armor.” Over the years, Taylor-Joy has demonstrated her mastery of staging. On this occasion, lace and transparencies were combined in the dress, a creation by Haider Ackermann—creative director of Tom Ford since September 2024, when he succeeded Peter Hawkings—for the firm’s spring-summer 2026 collection.
The mix of materials is key in the model, where tulle and turned satin coexist with a laser-cut leather bra. The actress combined the model with strappy, stiletto-heeled sandals, the Tom Ford Ankle Strap, and wore jewelry from Tiffanny & Co., a brand for which she is an ambassador and whose new campaign she has starred in. The lingerie style is one of the big trends of this season, it has been repeated on catwalks, from Dilara Findikoglu to McQueen, and the gothic influence covers both fashion and cinema, with films like Frankenstein, by Guillermo del Toro.
In October 2021, Anya Taylor-Joy was named an ambassador for Dior, a brand that usually accompanies her on many red carpets, and at the Marrakech film festival she was seen with some of the latest creations by JW Anderson, the new creative director of the houseboth with strapless necklines and floral appliqués. The actress, who was born in London and grew up between Buenos Aires and Miami, stood out in 2015, after starring in a gothic horror film, The witch, by Robert Eggers. Autumn de Wilde directed her in 2020 in Emma, her version of the Jane Austen classic, and with that leading role Taylor-Joy began to stand out on and off the screen for her outfits. That same year, with his role in the series Queen’s Gambit, global success arrived. Now he is preparing a new television project, the miniseries Lucky, for Apple TV+, an adaptation of a novel by Marissa Stapley in which she will share the cast with Anette Bening and Reese Witherspoon, who is also listed as executive producer.
