Anya Taylor-Joy Wore a Leather Mini Skirt with Black Go-Go Boots for an Emmys After-Party

After last night’s Emmy Award ceremony, many stars headed to exclusive after-parties. One of them was actress Anya Taylor-Joy, who was photographed heading home after a night out. She looked fabulous in a black leather mini skirt, shiny black go-go boots, and a peplum-style jacket. Her long platinum locks were left down with two small braids. To contrast the stark black look, she painted her lips a bold red.

In a November 2023 interview with W, Taylor-Joy talked about fashion and how she goes about choosing an outfit for a red carpet.

“I grew up such a tomboy. I never paid attention to clothes until I realized that it was a form of performance art for me—specifically, on the red carpet. I love drama. I love theatricality. I love leaning into a theme. I have a wonderful stylist, Ryan Hastings. We approach it not as, ‘We’re going to be wearing some clothes to this.’ We create. With my hair and makeup team, Georgie Eisdell and Gregory Russell, it’s very much a group enterprise. That’s where we have the most fun: everyone pitches in and we get to try new things. We take it very seriously by not taking it very seriously,” she shared.

“It’s bizarre that [red carpets are] a huge part of my normal life, but it’s not normal life at all. In which situation do you ever dress yourself to the nines to be photographed by 200 people who are screaming at you? It’s not normal. I have so much more fun thinking of it as—we dress up for this, we feed into the fantasy of it a little bit. Then I get to embody a character,” she added.
