Anya Taylor-Joy Channels Flapper Style in 2 Fringe Looks, Including a Black Minidress
Anya Taylor-Joy brought a little 1920s flapper style to the 2024 Cannes Film Festival with her last two outfits. Yesterday, the Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga star changed out of her nude Dior ball gown from the film’s premiere into a black fringe minidress for the after-party last night with Tiffany & Co. jewelry. She wore her platinum hair in a slick ponytail.
This morning, she appeared in a second fringe look, this time a cream Jil Sander silk bouclé crop jacket and skirt with a matching headpiece. Her hair was styled in waves, and she had her big brown eyes lined so they popped against her light ensemble. She wore Aquazzura heels to complete the look.

Taylor-Joy has been wearing a string of chic, feminine outfits during her week in Cannes. She started her visit in a gold Atlein dress, then continued in a Damson Madder blouse and miniskirt. Her first gown was a sheer Jacquemus dress with a white bodysuit underneath. She also wore an open silver cardigan with black hotpants on Wednesday, ahead of Furiosa’s premiere and her ball gown moment.
Taylor-Joy is ELLE’s June/July cover star. In her interview, which was published Tuesday, she reflected on how her role as Furiosa forced her to grow. The isolation while filming was difficult, but she sought it out to challenge herself.
“[I] wanted to be pushed,” she said. “I wanted to really understand grit in a different way. Because I knew that I had it. But I understood that in isolation, I was going to really experience it. Okay, you’re in a house in the middle of nowhere with just your thoughts and this character. How do you cope with that? And when you don’t have comfort around you—when there’s nothing that you can turn to for distraction—how are you going to experience that?
“My favorite flowers have always been seeded dandelions or the daisies that grow through concrete,” she added. “I think I wanted to be placed in concrete. I wanted to understand how that would feel. When you get too comfortable, you stop growing.”
