Anya Taylor-Joy certainly knows how to turn heads—like, wow—when she stepped out in a jaw-dropping Mugler minidress during the promotion of her latest flick, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. In true Anya style, she opted for a look that could be best described as “barely there but oh-so-bold.” This thigh-skimming red leather number not only showcased her enviable legs but also made waves for being almost scandalously backless. Talk about making a statement! Now, speaking of statements, have you ever noticed how the stars seem to align when it comes to fashion choices? With Venus influencing our style vibes this week, it’s no wonder Anya felt empowered to ditch just about everything she could. And hey, I’m left wondering—what’s the technique for keeping it classy while flaunting it all? Was she channeling some cosmic energy or just having a good laugh at the fashion critics? It’s a wild world out there, and it seems like the micro minidress trend isn’t going anywhere anytime soon—just ask Anya!

Anya Taylor-Joy went about as short as possible in her show-stopping Mugler minidress in 2024, stepping out in her thigh-skimming number while promoting her Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga movie. Showing off her killer legs in a red leather minidress from the iconic designer two years ago, the actress wowed in a nearly backless, corseted dress, flaunting her braless curves while rocking a high ponytail. Photographed in New York City before and after a talk show appearance, Anya made instant headlines for her vintage fashion choice, although for some, she could’ve chosen something slightly longer. One fan even remarked that her dress was “too short” to be able to wear underwear.
Scroll for the photos. Looking drop-dead gorgeous in a skintight, burgundy dress with a high neckline and a wet leather effect that accentuated her chest, Anya nailed her look, flaunting her minuscule waist and cleavage while showcasing her endless long legs.
Going backless, but with lapel-style shoulder details affording a mini sleeve effect at the front, Anya kept things bold with black criss-cross ribbons snaking their way down her back, showing even more skin as she teamed her dress with Christian Louboutin heels. The Dior ambassador, who recently made headlines for a Givenchy look in Japan, sported bold red lipstick and pale foundation for a statement look, flaunting her high cheekbones and ethereal features. Meanwhile, her chunky metallic cuff added quirky accents as she pouted for the cameras.
“You know you’re getting old when all you can think is ‘that looks so uncomfortable’” was a comment earning over 400 upvotes as social networking platform Reddit discussed Anya’s look.
Another, meanwhile, asked: “I see her in so many dresses that make me think ‘how does she walk in that without flashing everyone’. She must have a technique.” Anya was also criticized by a fan saying that her dress was “too short” to allow for underwear. Elsewhere, a user mocked the Hollywood star by asking if she would need a “seat cover” in order to sit down.
Anya joins stars including supermodel Kendall Jenner and singer Britney Spears in loving the micro minidress trend. While she may land herself negative reviews, Anya has the ultimate seal of approval in the fashion world thanks to her ambassador status with luxury French designer Dior. The blonde landed her high-profile gig back in 2021.
Anya Taylor-Joy may be Ms. Glam in Hollywood, but she’s revealed a totally different side to her.
“I grew up a total tomboy; I was always outside and never really paid much attention to clothes or beauty. But through my career, it became such a magical process for me and that’s opened up such a huge avenue of pleasure in my life,” she told Elle. Anya also shared that she adores using toners on her skin and often dips into her Dior Beauty stock when it comes to cosmetics.
