Fashion Statement and Event Details
Taylor-Joy paired the daring lace dress with a stylish blue skirt, exuding glamour and confidence. The photocall promoted Lucky, a series based on the New York Times bestselling novel of the same name, which premieres on Apple TV on July 15. In the show, she plays the titular character, a criminal named Lucky.
Anya's Thoughts on Fashion
The actress, known for roles in The Witch, The Northman, and Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, shared her views on fashion with Harper's Bazaar. She explained, 'Fashion began as a means of feeling comfortable. The actual experience of a red carpet was so anxiety-inducing for me. I found that if I was making it about something more artful, then I just turned off a part of my brain that usually would be afraid, and that made me excited about it instead. It really does feel like a kind of armour.'
Taylor-Joy also admitted to being 'very obsessive' when selecting red carpet outfits. 'But the deeper I got, the more obsessed with fashion I became. I love fashion history – being able to look at designs and seeing how events in the world influenced each piece or how the designer responded to trends. I'm very obsessive when choosing red-carpet looks; I’m not chill in that regard. It's very much part of the job for me. I see these red carpets as my bon voyage to each character I play,' she added.
Upcoming Series
Lucky marks another high-profile project for Taylor-Joy, who continues to captivate audiences both on screen and on the red carpet. The series promises to be a gripping addition to her filmography.
