Anya Taylor-Joy’s red Mugler minidress was designed to be viewed from its (very) open back. The Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga actress wore the number, from the designer’s fall/winter 2024 runway collection, to her taping of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. The dress features corset lacing all the way down the back, which Taylor-Joy showed off while posing for paparazzi. Her platinum hair was styled in a high ponytail, and she wore a striking red lip to match the outfit.
While Taylor-Joy has had many outfit changes throughout her global Furiosa press tour, she’s worn the most looks during her New York stop. In the last two days, she was photographed in five different ensembles.
In addition to the red Mugler dress, Taylor-Joy stepped out in a sleeveless white Khaite midi dress yesterday:
On May 21, she wore a short-sleeve white minidress by Acne Studios with white lace-up Aquazzura sandals.
She tried cool tones in a custom A-line blue minidress by Marni with Christian Louboutin sandals and Tiffany & Co. jewelry that same day:
She also wore a sheer, long-sleeve crop top with green short shorts and tan over-the-knee boots:

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga opens in theaters tomorrow. Taylor-Joy spoke to ELLE for our June/July issue about why she sought out the project. The six months she spent filming in Australia were a greater psychological challenge than a physical one because she felt so isolated.
But she “wanted to be pushed,” Taylor-Joy told ELLE. “I wanted to really understand grit in a different way. Because I knew that I had it. But I understood that in isolation, I was going to really experience it. Okay, you’re in a house in the middle of nowhere with just your thoughts and this character. How do you cope with that? And when you don’t have comfort around you—when there’s nothing that you can turn to for distraction—how are you going to experience that?
“My favorite flowers have always been seeded dandelions or the daisies that grow through concrete,” she continued. “I think I wanted to be placed in concrete. I wanted to understand how that would feel. When you get too comfortable, you stop growing.”
