Anya Taylor-Joy graced the Croisette with her enchanting presence for the premiere of ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.’ Her sartorial choice, a shimmering champagne haute couture gown from Dior, marked a departure from her character’s post-apocalyptic attire, embodying an era of Old Hollywood opulence. The strapless corseted bodice and full skirt, adorned with intricate embroidery, were reminiscent of Christian Dior’s iconic ‘Mexico’ dress from 1957. Inspired by that design and captured in an unforgettable Richard Avedon photograph featuring Carmen Dell’Orefice, Taylor-Joy’s gown required over 1,200 hours of embroidery and 850 hours of craftsmanship.
Complementing the exquisite dress, Taylor-Joy adorned herself with equally magnificent Tiffany & Co. high jewelry. A sculptural platinum necklace sparkled with 68 carats of diamonds, while white gold studs boasted 17 carats. Her rings, one at 15 carats and the other at five, added an opulent touch to her ensemble.
Taylor-Joy’s ensemble was not merely a fashion statement but an embodiment of timeless beauty. Her hair was swept into an elegant updo, and a vibrant red lip added a captivating contrast. The actress has transformed Cannes into her own personal runway, captivating onlookers with her collection of extravagant sun hats and repurposed Jacquemus bridal attire. Through her sartorial choices, Anya Taylor-Joy is not only showcasing her style but also advocating for a resurgence of glamorous fashion.
