Anya Taylor-Joy Embraces Her Inner Barbie Doll

Anya Taylor-Joys’ rapid ascent to becoming one of the most promising starlet films has been a sensation to watch. Still, Taylor-Joys is on screen Emma, ​​The Queens Gambit, and Witch has been matched only by her electrifying red carpet style, which quickly evolved from smooth English to full Old Hollywood glamour.

So it makes sense that at the premiere of his latest lead role in Edgar Wrights psychological horror One Night in Soho, which debuted at the Venice Film Festival last night, Taylor-Joy and image architect Law Roach decided to quit. Embracing retro glamor at the heart of the film’s time-travel but mostly 1960s setting, she wore a pink Dior haute couture satin gown with a matching, meshed fascinator. (Of course, she’s wearing a million-dollar Tiffany diamond.) Taylor-Joys’ knockout look also seems to be embracing another corner of ’60s pop culture: namely, Barbie dolls.

Since working with Roach, Taylor-Joy has manifested herself as a true fashion original, embracing retro glamor while lending her own contemporary and offbeat touch. From Loewe’s pannier novel dress to film screenings Emma in New York City last year, for the custom Dior gown with a matching cape cut from the sparkling green Lurex she wore to the Oscars in March, Taylor-Joy can consistently deliver high drama on the red carpet.

Her other Venice Film Festival events offer plenty of fantastical and fantastic fashion moments that Taylor-Joy has made as her business card, from the floral floral Rodarte dress she wore to yesterday. One Night in Soho photoshoot of Dice Kayek’s tangerine gown with the ruched skirt she wore when she arrived at Venices Lido today. But the full fantasy of her Barbie pink dress proves once and for all that if there’s one thing Taylor-Joy knows, it’s how to give off an ominous look.
