Few stars approach fashion with the same dedication as Anya Taylor-Joy. Her red carpet appearances often resemble characters she has crafted for the occasion.

This week, her latest photoshoot has sparked buzz among fashion enthusiasts, coinciding perfectly with the upcoming streaming release of her new film.

The stunning new shoot is credited to Law Roach, the celebrity stylist who began collaborating with Taylor-Joy just before her ‘Emma’ press tour in early 2020. During that tour, he adorned her in vintage Bob Mackie and a daring Halpern design, later creating a custom green Dior gown for her Golden Globes win for ‘The Queen’s Gambit’.

Roach has praised her fearless approach to fashion, often incorporating whimsical elements and retro undertones. Over the years, their partnership has become a signature style, and any fresh work from Roach is sure to grab attention.

In the new images, Taylor-Joy showcases a striking red high-neck top made from draped, flowing fabric. A leather collar with a metal O-ring adds a sharp, edgy touch to an otherwise soft silhouette.

Set against a backdrop of autumn foliage, the photos capture her platinum blonde hair in a long braid in one shot, while another features her sleek, center-parted hair as she delicately touches her lips with a gold-ringed hand.

The vibrant red contrasts beautifully with the muted greens and oranges of the setting. The clean hairstyle, minimal makeup, and bold color keep the focus on the overall shape and detailing.

Online reactions have highlighted the intentionality of her look. One fan noted the sharp hairstyle and long braid against the red as clean and slightly edgy, remarking that Roach has a knack for giving her an off-kilter, almost period feel without veering into costume territory.

This balance is what Taylor-Joy’s fans have come to expect. Her most memorable looks often blend vintage charm with a contemporary twist, and this red ensemble follows that formula.

The photoshoot comes on the heels of several high-profile fashion moments. During Paris Fashion Week, she was seen in a Jil Sander Fall 2026 black dress designed by Simone Bellotti, featuring a voluminous back panel and Giuseppe Zanotti mules.

As a Dior ambassador, she has the opportunity to wear the house’s Spring 2027 designs at her discretion, but this particular look was notably understated. Earlier this year, she also graced her first Vanity Fair cover and represents Tiffany as a brand ambassador.

Her timing is strategic, as ‘Sacrifice’, the satirical thriller directed by Romain Gavras, is set to premiere on Netflix on October 16 in both the United States and France.

In ‘Sacrifice’, Taylor-Joy portrays Joan, a zealot determined to prevent a fiery apocalypse. Chris Evans stars as Mike Tyler, a film star whom Joan kidnaps, with a viral clip showing her pressuring him to jump into a volcano.

The cast also features Vincent Cassel, Ambika Mod, and Jonatan Leandoer, known as Yung Lean. The film debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 6, 2025, leaving audiences eagerly awaiting its streaming release for over a year.

These new photos emerge as Netflix intensifies its promotional efforts, with fresh clips and first-look images making the rounds. Taylor-Joy’s striking red styling provides a strong visual identity for the campaign just days before the film’s debut.

Taylor-Joy has consistently utilized fashion to craft a narrative around herself. She seldom engages in lengthy interviews, allowing her clothing to convey her story.

This latest photoshoot continues that tradition, featuring a bold color, sculptural collar, and a retro-modern vibe. If her collaboration with Roach is here to stay, fans can expect many more unforgettable looks in the weeks to come.
