Anya Taylor-Joy brought architectural whimsy to the TIFF red carpet—her layered Dior dress a confection of satin geometry and icy elegance.
At the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival premiere of Sacrifice, held at the Princess of Wales Theatre on September 6, Anya Taylor-Joy didn’t just arrive—she materialized. Her look was less “actress at a premiere” and more “fashion apparition,” floating across the red carpet in a custom Dior creation that felt like origami reimagined for the silver screen.
Crafted from a pale blue satin with a subtle iridescent sheen, the Dior custom dress featured a sleeveless bodice and a skirt composed of layered, ribbon-like panels—square and rectangular folds that gave the silhouette a sculptural, almost kinetic quality. The fabric caught the light with every movement, shifting between icy blue and soft silver depending on the angle. It was couture geometry, softened by the fluidity of satin.
Taylor-Joy paired the dress with white Christian Louboutin Iriza pumps—classic, pointed, and just sharp enough to anchor the softness of the look. Around her neck, a Tiffany & Co. necklace in platinum shimmered with aquamarines, blue zircons, and diamonds, echoing the cool tones of the dress while adding a layer of old-world glamour. Her clutch was discreet, her jewelry minimal—every element chosen to support, not compete.
Anya Taylor-Joy’s TIFF appearance proves that celebrity fashion isn’t just about what’s worn—it’s about how it’s imagined. So, is this the dawn of sculptural surrealism on the red carpet—or just Taylor-Joy reminding us that she’s always one step ahead of the curve?
