Anya Taylor-Joy Wears Balmain’s Resort 2027 Collection Before Anyone Else

Anya Taylor-Joy Debuts Balmain Resort 2027 in Fuchsia and Olive

There are those who wait for a trend to arrive on the runway, and then there is Anya Taylor-Joy, who simply wears the future before it’s officially unveiled. On Thursday, while making her way through SoHo during the press tour for her forthcoming series Lucky, the actress stepped out in a look pulled straight from Balmain’s Resort 2027 collection — a full season ahead of its official bow, and long before most of us have even finished packing away last summer’s wardrobe.

The ensemble, as Vogue reports, marked the very first sighting of a piece from the upcoming line, and Taylor-Joy wore it with the kind of nonchalant authority that suggests she knew exactly what she was starting. At its foundation was a fuchsia satin bikini-style bra, its bust rendered in delicate ribbed pleating — a textural nod to the Y2K archives that defined so much of early-2000s red carpet dressing. Rather than let the bralette stand alone, she layered it beneath a cropped olive-green cardigan, its silhouette shrunken to a deliberately abbreviated length that stopped just shy of the bra-line. The chunky gold buttons were left charmingly undone, lending the look an unbothered, thrown-together elegance that is anything but accidental.

Below, a yellow-and-orange velvet midi skirt in a floral jacquard print carried the outfit’s beach-adjacent spirit further, its thigh-high slit introducing movement with every step past the assembled cameras. It was a skirt built for strutting, and Taylor-Joy obliged. On her feet, she chose a pair of peep-toe mules in sunshine yellow — a polarizing choice, perhaps, but one entirely in keeping with the outfit’s confident maximalism.

Jewelry was kept purposefully sculptural: a gold Tiffany & Co. Elsa Peretti Bean pendant, suspended from a slim black silk cord, anchored the neckline, while matching gold hoops and a bracelet rounded out the metals. Her platinum hair was pressed poker-straight and side-parted, allowing the clothes — and the color — to do the talking.

The beauty look leaned into the outfit’s edge rather than softening it. A smoky gray eyeshadow was swept across the lids and paired with black mascara, while a jet-black manicure delivered the finishing note of grunge-glamour contrast. The overall effect was a wardrobe time capsule: the bold hues, the clashing prints, the exposed midriff by way of layering rather than omission — all hallmarks of an early-aughts streetwear sensibility, resurrected with 2027 polish.

In a single SoHo outing, Taylor-Joy didn’t just wear Balmain — she previewed it, and in doing so, offered a glimpse of exactly where color-blocking and Y2K nostalgia are headed next.
