Anya Taylor-Joy’s Best Fashion Moments on The Menu Press Tour

Anya Taylor-Joy served up a feast for the senses during the press tour for The Menu.

The Menu may sound like a fun movie that promises a delectable selection of food that looks too beautiful on screen. Still, if there’s anything we know about an Anya Taylor-Joy film, it’s bound to have an unsettling plot surrounding an elusive cast of characters.

Directed by Mark Mylod, The Menu stars an ensemble cast that includes Anya Taylor-Joy, Nicholas Hoult, Hong Chau, John Leguizamo, and Ralph Fiennes.

It’s a dark comedy that follows a young couple, played by Anya Taylor-Joy and Nicholas Hoult, as they immerse themselves in an exclusive dining experience at a luxury destination restaurant. The film offers a satirical look at the cutthroat culinary industry and fine dining culture using horror elements and violence.

Anya Taylor-Joy’s Margot is just as much of an enigma onscreen as the actress herself. In fact, Anya is so tight-lipped about her personal life that no one really knows anything about her other than the roles she plays and what little information she offers herself during interviews. Even her wedding to partner Malcolm McRae over the summer was kept secret, and no details were shared.

This air of mystery translated well during the press tour for The Menu with a slew of looks that showcased her chameleon-like quality and bold approach to fashion.

Formerly styled by Law Roach, Anya flourished under the direction of celebrity stylist Ryan Hastings, who also works with Natalie Portman, Mia Goth, and Taylor Russell.

Anya Taylor-Joy joins a bevy of risk-takers, who have made red carpet fashion fun and exciting again like Tessa Thompson, Jodie Turner-Smith, Joey King, and Anne Hathaway.

Here are nine of the best looks from Anya Taylor-Joy’s The Menu press tour:

1. Preppy Chic in Andre Courreges and Christian Louboutin

Anya Taylor-Joy wore a pink two-piece set from Andre Courreges, reminiscent of Blair Waldorf played by Leighton Meester in Gossip Girl. She styled it with sleek, straight hair, a bold red lip, and Christian Louboutin So Kate pumps in latte leather.

Harris Reed designed her entire look, right down to the towering platform heels that gave her an extra stylish boost.

8. Equestrian Chic in Vintage Balenciaga and Vivienne Westwood

On her Instagram, Anya posted a photo of her posing on the carpeted stairs in her vintage ensemble. Appropriately captioned “London Calling,” she looked chic in her equestrian-inspired outfit.

Anya wore a black long-sleeved top tucked into a Balenciaga checked wool blend skirt. She styled it with black tights, a Balenciaga riding hat, and Vivienne Westwood vintage 1998 Nurse shoes with super-elevated platforms and block heels.

9. Electric in Alexander McQueen and Christian Louboutin

Anya started The Menu press tour in an electric blue outfit for the UK premiere. She wore an Alexander McQueen leather corset dress from Spring 2023 featuring a strapless neckline and an asymmetric hem. For more drama, she also wore matching electric blue leather opera gloves.

The Jaeger-LeCoultre brand ambassador also showed off her 101 Reine watch. She finished off her look with side-swept waves and Christian Louboutin pointy-toe pumps.
