Anya Taylor-Joy Dazzles in Ornate Gold on the Red Carpet – But Her Heels Stole the Spotlight
The queen of edgy, avant-garde fashion did it again. At the Australian premiere of her highly anticipated film “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga,” Anya Taylor-Joy commanded the red carpet in an ornate gold and silver beaded minidress from Paco Rabanne’s spring 1996 couture collection. The sleeveless frock, dripping in intricate metallic embroidery from hem to strap, was pure sartorial drama. But the devil was in the details – quite literally, the details of Taylor-Joy’s footwear.
In a masterclass of minimalist styling, the actress let her dress take center stage by pairing it with completely invisible nude heels from Aquazzura. The “So Nude” Plexi 105 sandals, crafted in Italy from transparent PVC with a leather sole and 4-inch stiletto, allowed Taylor-Joy’s gown to seemingly float above the red carpet. At $695, the illusion-creating heels are an investment – but one that paid dividends for this major fashion moment.
The 27-year-old star’s full ensemble was an exquisite contradiction – her gown an ornate, almost architectural creation begging to be admired, while her footwear disappeared into the background. It was a daring high-fashion choice that only a true style maverick could pull off. Taylor-Joy has long been a red carpet rebel, shunning conventional norms in favor of avant-garde, directional looks from top designers.
For the Sydney premiere, Taylor-Joy’s look was impeccably curated by stylist Ryan Hastings. Every detail was considered, from the coordinating gold arrow-adorned headpiece to her expertly undone updo by hairstylist Gregory Russell. Her glowing makeup, featuring a soft smoky eye and nude lip by artist Naoko Scintu, provided the perfect canvas to let her daring dress shine.
As she posed on the red carpet, carefully holding her arms away from the delicate embellishments on her dress, Taylor-Joy oozed modern glamour and confidence. The Queen’s Gambit actress has decisively checkmate’d boring celebrity style, cementing her status as a true fashion force.
In a sea of identikit A-list looks, Anya Taylor-Joy remains a a refreshing original. Her willingness to embrace haute couture and push boundaries is a breath of fresh air. This “Furiosa” premiere served as the latest reminder that when it comes to red carpet dressing, Taylor-Joy is in a league of her own. Here’s hoping she never stops taking fashion risks – even if it means her heels disappear into thin air.
