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 favors bold prints by Viktor & Rolf and eye-catching Gucci minidresses.

From Elie Saab to Miu Miu, Anya embraces an array of designers, as long as they bring that extra vibe. Her beauty looks follow suit, with glitter, crowns, and bold lip colors, standing up to her strong gown game. Ahead, feast your eyes on all of her most iconic red carpet looks.
