Our favorite elfin A24 star has come a long way since starring in The Witch in 2015. After a key cameo in Dune: Part Two earlier this year, Anya Taylor-Joy stepped into Charlize Theron’s shoes to take over the role of Furiosa in Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. The epic action movie opened at Cannes, where Anya topped pretty much everyone’s best dressed lists with her inventive neutral gowns and streetwear. While she’s spent much of her career starring in period pieces like The Queen’s Gambit, Emma, and Last Night in Soho, her personal style blends references from a variety of eras to create a look that’s both on-trend and timeless – a fashion tightrope walk worthy of Furiosa.
Anya’s signature blend of classic Hollywood glam on the red carpet and edgier street style makes her one of our favorite celebs to draw style inspiration from. Occasionally she leans into her otherworldly features and tries an experimental look, but for the most part her style is classic and considered, letting a subtly surprising accessory choice or texture elevate a look. If we had the world’s best cheekbones we’d probably just rock a jean skirt and call it a day too.
Anya’s style both on and off the red carpet is going to be dominating our Pinterest inspo boards for summer 2024. Keep reading for the essential guide to Anya Taylor-Joy’s style.

This Dior couture look dominated the 2024 Cannes Film Festival best-dressed lists. Its subtle detailing and perfect neutral color let Anya’s natural beauty be the star of the show.
This linen corset top from Swedish brand NA-KD is a gorgeous, wearable dupe for Anya’s red carpet ensemble. We love the idea of dressing this up with a mini skirt for a night out, or hewing closer to Anya’s original look with a fuller maxi skirt during the day.

One of the things we love most about Anya is her confidence, and there is nothing more confident than pairing a neutral outfit with a bright, bold red lip. Live Tinted has a gorgeous array of cosmetics for a diverse variety of skin tones, and their Huelip lip cremes are our top pick for a summer red lip. Somewhere between lipstick and a hydrating balm, it gives high coverage without drying or smearing.

We also loved Anya’s more casual white croppy skirt set from Cannes 2024. For a more summer-appropriate riff on her crop top midi skirt combo, Solid & Striped’s Gael skirt pairs perfectly with their summer white crop tops.

This look had us gagged – Anya hitting all the hottest street style trends in one stroll to the car. Silver pumps, oversized collar, and a flash of denim – enough said.
Everyone seems to be doing a silver shoe these days, but we especially love this pair from Margaux. The rounded toe and low heel make them a great dupe for Anya’s never-completely-off-duty look.

Thank us later – we found the exact shirt Anya wore in Cannes to save you some Googling. The oversized Peter Pan collar and coquette bow print are absolutely perfect, and we love how the Damson Madder site styled it to power-clash with an animal print mini skirt. Taking notes…

For us, Anya’s Jacquemus oversized hat and sheer white dress combo marked the official start of summer. She always gets proportions and textures right – the oversized hat contrasts perfectly with her slinky white dress, and the whole look is balanced by a strappy sandal.
If we’re investing in one thing this summer, it’s a quality straw hat. Mains de Vapeur is a Mexico & US based bespoke milliner that makes 100% hand-shaped hats. Their sizing guide is super easy to use, and the quality of their work is second to none.

While Anya has been favoring neutrals in her red carpet and press looks this year, her personal style is a lot edgier and laid back. The elevated leather jacket is an essential fixture in her off-duty looks.
If we learn one lesson from Anya Taylor-Joy’s personal style, it’s that proportion and texture are everything. This smooth leather jacket from AllSaints features a slimming cut that makes this a future wardrobe staple.
