Anya Taylor-Joy Co-Designed Her Groovy Floral Print Catsuit With Richard Quinn
Anya Taylor-Joy is as fascinating as she is stylish. The Last Night in Soho actor wore a custom floral print Richard Quinn catsuit that she cocreated with the designer for her interview on The Late Late Show with James Corden. Taylor-Joy completed the look with matching gloves and a black headband with crystal details. “Her boots are a part of her outfit. I thought that was so cool — I’ve never seen that before!” Ben Schwartz said to Corden about Taylor-Joy’s catsuit that extended to wrap around her shoes. “You designed this yourself, right?” Corden asked Taylor-Joy, to which she answered “A wonderful designer called Richard Quinn kind of, let me, help, a little bit. Just ideas, but he’s lovely!” After a few cheeky jokes, and a giggly c...

TIFF Review: Last Night in Soho Thrives More as a Tribute to ’60s London Glitz Than Coherent Horror
This review is part of our coverage of the 2021 Toronto International Film Festival. The Pitch: Eloise (Thomasin McKenzie), a sheltered young woman with an all-encompassing 1960s obsession, leaves the English countryside home she shares with her grandmother to study fashion in London. When life in the dorms leaves her feeling stressed and isolated, Ellie finds a room of her own to rent in Soho. At first, the move seems ideal: Her landlady, Miss Collins (Diana Rigg, in her final role) is stern but kind. The room appeals to Ellie’s need for space and her aesthetic. And it comes with an exciting bonus: Every night, she’s transported to 1966, where she follows a glamorous young woman named Sandy (Anya Taylor-Joy) as she romps through Swinging London’s nightlife. Alternately watching Sandy...

Robert De Niro, Chris Rock, Anya Taylor-Joy Join David O. Russell’s Star-Studded New Movie
The new David O. Russell film has just become an A-list bonanza. On Thursday, it was confirmed that Robert De Niro, Chris Rock, and our 2020 Performer of the Year Anya Taylor-Joy have signed on for the film.

What Would a Modern-Day Beth Harmon Wear? Anya Taylor-Joy Shows Us
Anya Taylor-Joy’s red carpet style is as intriguing as her ’60s style transformation as Beth Harmon on The Queen’s Gambit. The American-born, London-raised actor, who is also known for her roles in Emma and Peaky Blinders, has worked with various stylists over the years, including Ozzy Shah, Micaela Erlanger, Ilaria Urbinati, and, most recently, Law Roach. No matter what, Anya always experiments with her fashion choices at events. She once explained to Vogue UK that she loves the drama of red carpet style and “being extra.” She loves magic and fairy tales and having fun on the carpet, taking advantage of the opportunity to “be a bit dramatic,” so it’s no surprise she favours bold prints by Viktor & Rolf and eye-catching Gucci minidresses....
The Queen’s Gambit: Anya Taylor-Joy Got to Keep Beth’s Costumes, and Can We Please Be Her?
The Queen’s Gambit is Netflix’s most watched series to date. Chess master Beth Harmon (played by Anya Taylor-Joy) captivated viewers with her wit, passion, and intensity, but it was her ’60s wardrobe designed and sourced by costumer Gabrielle Binder that gave the series its iconic element. Wonder where the costumes are now? Taylor-Joy stopped by The Late Show With Stephen Colbert to share how she was gifted all of her character’s outfits, her affinity with Beth Harmon, and why she sadly won’t be able to wear any of those gorgeous clothes. “When I first read the book, I was so in love with Beth, instantly”, Taylor-Joy told Colbert. “And I think people follow passion, so I felt impassioned by chess when I finished reading the book. However, tha...
