Anya Taylor-Joy’s Height and Heels: How the 5’6½” Star Uses High-Fashion Footwear to Elevate Every Look

At 5ft 6½ (168.9 cm) with a US shoe size 9, Anya Taylor-Joy has become one of Hollywood’s most visually striking style forces—an Argentine-British actress whose presence is as commanding on the red carpet as it is on screen.

Known for roles in The Witch, Split, Last Night in Soho, The Queen’s Gambit, and The Northman, she once insisted with a laugh, “I’m very tall. I’m five-foot-eight,” a testament to the statuesque energy she brings to every appearance.

Her fashion reputation is unmistakable: dramatic, ethereal, and often deliciously avant-garde. As a modern Dior muse, she gravitates toward sculptural couture, intricate embellishment, and silhouettes that merge Old Hollywood glamour with unexpected, theatrical twists.

Inside Anya Taylor-Joy’s High-Fashion Aesthetic & Signature Shoe Choices

Her wardrobe swings from dreamy chiffon and crystal-studded detailing to bold gothic edge—chainmail, sheer panels, high structure, and noir-inspired drama.

Her footwear is equally curated: razor-sharp Christian Louboutin stilettos, delicate Aquazzura sandals, edgy platform boots for darker press tours, and even the occasional quirky street-style flat, like Maison Margiela Tabis.

So when Anya arrived at the UK premiere of The Northman, she delivered exactly what fans have come to expect—an icy-glam couture moment that put her statuesque proportions and signature high-fashion sensibility on full display. Here’s a closer look at her unforgettable Leicester Square appearance.

On April 5, 2022, Anya Taylor-Joy brought a hint of icy glamour to London’s Leicester Square for the premiere of The Northman.

Putting her flawless legs on full display, the American actress donned a nude sheer mini dress from Dior’s Spring 2019 Couture collection.

The striking number features strategically placed sparkly sequins, beads, and crystals throughout. It also has long sleeves, a cinched waist, and a thigh-skimming micro-length hem.

Tiffany & Co. Diamonds and Soft Glam Complete Her Icy Premiere Look

She wore the $45,900 mixed cluster diamond drop earrings, a $17,500 Alternating ring, and a $22,000 band ring, curated by stylist Ryan Hastings.

Anya’s glam team enhanced her natural beauty, with makeup artist Valeria Ferreira giving her a dramatic smoky eye makeup and a swipe of pink lipstick using Dior Beauty.

Celebrities Who Elevate Their Style Through High-Fashion Heels

Just like Anya Taylor-Joy — whose 5’6½” frame and US size 9 feet are often accentuated by sculptural couture and razor-sharp heels — several celebrities around the same height use footwear strategically to define their red-carpet silhouettes.

Their approach offers the perfect style context for understanding how Anya constructs her own fashion identity, especially when she steps into full Dior glamour or leans into avant-garde, gothic-infused looks.
