For those like myself, who adore witnessing Anya Taylor-Joy grace the scene in enchanting gowns adorned with flowing fabrics and soft pastel hues, it’s time to prepare for a shift.
She’s undergoing a style metamorphosis, embracing a fusion of ethereal textures and an all-black aesthetic.

Lately, Anya has been gravitating towards a darker palette, likely influenced by her role in her upcoming movie, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, which will hit theaters on May 24.
In this film, she embodies the titular character Imperator Furiosa, a member of a motorcycle horde and a younger iteration of the role Charlize Theron portrayed in 2015’s Mad Max: Fury Road.
Chic and Elegant in Black Semi-Sheer Christian Dior Dress
On Monday night, April 15, just before her 28th birthday on April 16, Anya Taylor-Joy graced the scene with another stunning ensemble as she attended Christian Dior’s Pre-Fall 2024 Ready-To-Wear runway show in New York, held at the Brooklyn Museum.
Having served as a global brand ambassador for the esteemed French luxury fashion house for nearly three years, I am not surprised to spot her in the coveted front row alongside A-list stars such as Charlize Theron, Michelle Williams, and Rosamund Pike.

If I’m being honest, I typically find all-black looks somewhat lacking in excitement. However, despite donning a black monochrome ensemble for the event, Anya exuded a radiant aura.
Her outfit choice effortlessly navigated one of fashion’s hottest trends, sheer fabric, while adhering to one of its timeless classics, the Little Black Dress (LBD).
Infusing the evening with a touch of drama, Anya Taylor-Joy brought her signature style, appearing effortlessly chic in an inky-black midi dress, as anticipated, designed for her by Dior’s creative director, Maria Grazia Chiuri.

The Dune: Part 2 actress’ tea-length number, crafted from wool, boasted a sleeveless silhouette. It featured a squared-off strapless neckline adorned with delicate frills along the top hem before gracefully descending into a pencil skirt.
What I truly admire about Anya’s outfit is how it injected a sophisticated and refined twist into the classic LBD, underscoring that sheer fashion doesn’t always necessitate an excessively stirring demeanor.
Adding to the allure, her attire boasted a second scoop neckline crafted from sheer fabric. This top overlay extended to the back of the dress, creating the illusion of a backless design.
Accessorizing the Black Monochrome Look With Finesse
I applaud how Anya Taylor-Joy accentuated her ensemble with a sleek, black, narrow leather belt, which defined her petite waist and added a touch of structure.
However, her unconventional choice of accessories captivates me more than her attire. She effortlessly evoked a sense of decadence and old-school glamour by pairing her LBD with elegant black opera gloves crafted from ultra-fine mesh.

The Menu star opted for sleek black pumps from Dior to elevate her look further. These pumps feature pointed toes and tall stiletto heels, enhancing her statuesque stature.
I love how Anya’s minimalistic approach to jewelry, adorned solely with her exquisite gold wedding ring embellished with diamonds and an emerald, allowed her ensemble to shine.

Embracing a goth-chic aesthetic for her glam, by makeup artist Georgie Eisdell, she sported dark smoky eyeshadow, black eyeliner, vibrant orange lips, soft pink blush, and a deep-brown manicure.
Complementing her makeup, hairstylist Gregory Russell fashioned her long blonde locks into a sleek ponytail, accented with a sophisticated, glossy, thick black headband, providing the perfect finishing touches to her ensemble.
Edgy in Black Leather Ludovic De Saint Sernin Mini Dress at 2024 CinemaCon
On Tuesday, April 9, Anya Taylor-Joy flaunted another edgy take on the Little Black Dress trend during one of her initial promotional outings in Las Vegas for the upcoming film Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.
She graced Warner Bros. Pictures’ presentation at the 2024 CinemaCon at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, accompanied by her co-star Chris Hemsworth, who stands tall at 6 feet 3 inches (190.5 cm).

Anya Taylor-Joy, normally 5 feet 6 ½ inches (168.9 cm), cleverly donned high stiletto heels, significantly lessening the height difference, allowing her to appear closer to Hemsworth’s stature during the event.
For the event, The Northman actress opted for an edgy black minidress from Ludovic de Saint Sernin’s Fall/Winter 2024 ready-to-wear collection, showcasing the Paris-based designer’s unique aesthetic.
Her bold ensemble appeared as if crafted from a single elongated studded belt, intricately wrapped around her figure, showcasing the remarkable ability of unconventional accessories to elevate party attire to perfection.

At the top, the strappy leather garment crisscrossed at her chest and encircled her neck to form a halter neckline, while an additional ornamental strip detached from the dress’ hem cascaded across her legs.
The fitted design hugged her curves and featured tightly stitched bands. At the same time, silver grommets adorned the entirety of the dress, adding an edge to the ensemble.
Minimal Accessories and Finishing Touches
Anya Taylor-Joy selected a pair of understated black suede Christian Louboutin “So Kate” leather pumps to complement the gothic aesthetic. These pumps, famed for their iconic red soles, boasted pointed toes and 4.25-inch stiletto heels to enhance her height.

Known as a favorite among A-list stars, her choice of footwear has been spotted on celebrities like Jessica Chastain, Nicole Scherzinger, Alessandra Ambrosio, and even Anya herself when she attended the 2024 Vanity Fair Oscar Party last month.
Styled by Ryan Hastings, the Emma star embraced a minimalist approach to accessories, opting for a single silver ring, allowing her rock-star minidress to do the talking.

Her makeup, by Georgie Eisdell, emphasized her captivating brown eyes with a dark, smokey eyeshadow while her lips remained muted. Completing the look, hairstylist Gregory Russell fashioned her signature blonde locks into a loose top-knot.
