WANT HER WARDROBE

A LOOK AT OUR FAVOURITE CELEBRITIE­S’ STYLE WINS

-

AT just 24, Anya Taylor-Joy has already made quite the impression on Hollywood. From her breakthrou­gh role in horror film The Witch, to her performanc­es in hits like Split, Peaky Blinders and last year’s Emma remake, she consistent­ly impresses the critics.

Most recently the Americanbo­rn, Londonbase­d actress had us glued to Netflix with The Queen’s Gambit, where her acting talent was equalled only by her character’s fabulous Sixties wardrobe.

Off screen, the actress is also making a name for herself as a style icon in pieces by designers including Viktor & Rolf, Gucci, Elie Saab and Miu Miu.

For last week’s ‘virtual’ Golden Globes, where she picked up a best actress gong for playing chess prodigy Beth Harmon, Anya stunned in not one but two Dior gowns – one in ivory and a stunning plunging emerald green number. At Sunday’s Critics’ Choice awards, where she picked up another trophy, she was again clothed by the French fashion house, this time wearing a violet gown that took 200 hours to create.

Dior’s creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri told Vogue that Anya “embodies the strength and fragility of a new generation of gifted actresses who are challengin­g the star system”.

And it is safe to say she has red carpet dressing in check.

At the pub, aware that Dawn has a meeting with the social worker, Kim creates a distractio­n and spikes Dawn’s drink. Could this blow Dawn’s chances of getting Lucas back?
