Anya Taylor-Joy was once again attending a Dior fashion show on September 24 in Paris. She looked gorgeous, as usual. Find all the pictures in the gallery :

VOGUE HONG KONG – Tucked away in the heart of downtown LA, a nondescript sliding gate gives way to a lofty, cavernous warehouse. There’s a makeshift classroom in one room. In another, shelves filled with stereo TVs. A vintage Cadillac Eldorado is stationed out back, gleaming in the California sun. This was the set of Anya Taylor-Joy’s cover shoot for Vogue Hong Kong – a shoot so groundbreaking that it was shaken by the 4.4 magnitude earthquake that also rattled the rest of Los Angeles.

Strolling on to the Vogue Hong Kong set, Taylor-Joy’s wide doe eyes reveal a piercing intensity. Stark blonde locks are contrasted with a delicate bounce and gentle curl. Her stately, elegant frame is punctuated by sharp angles – defined collarbones, a pointed jaw. And then she breaks into laughter, and all that felt untouchable is softened instantly by a wide, generous smile and sunny laugh. She’s barely had time to introduce herself, but her presence is undeniable.

This formidable sense of gravitas has lent itself immeasurably to her acting roles. Case in point: her most recent film as the titular Furiosa in Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. Taylor-Joy had 30 lines of dialogue throughout the film, yet she captured the nuanced humanity and deep rage of her character throughout. While a picture may be worth a thousand words, the depth of expression felt in Taylor-Joy’s eyes alone may be worth a million more. That, combined with her unwavering dedication and commitment to each and every role she plays, are what has made Taylor-Joy an unstoppable force to be reckoned with. From her strategic genius in The Queen’s Gambit to the visceral power of Furiosa, and her compelling presence in Dune: Part Two, Taylor-Joy has proven to be a generational talent unlike any other.

ELLE – It takes something—or someone—pretty formidable to overshadow Anya Taylor-Joy, one of her generation’s most talented actors and, as of this year, a newly minted Hollywood megastar. Still, as the crew gathers to begin shooting this ELLE Australia cover, everyone only has eyes for a long-haired chihuahua puppy that must weigh in at less than a kilogram. “This is Bartok the Magnificent,” declares Taylor-Joy as we sit down for our interview. The new puppy, who she picked up only two days ago, is nestled sleepily in her lap. His name is taken from the 1997 animated movie Anastasia, a historical fantasy about the murder of Russia’s imperial family in the 1920s. Bartok the Magnificent is a street-performing albino bat and sidekick of the vengeful sorcerer Rasputin. This anecdote might go some way to capturing the magic of Anya Taylor-Joy, who is fiercely talented, bitingly intelligent and face-from-the-gods beautiful, but also a little bit off-the-wall, in the way the best people always are.

TUDUM – Anya Taylor-Joy is about to teach the world How to Kill Your Family — or she’ll at least reveal some murderous tips and tricks as Grace Bernard, the protagonist of the forthcoming British series, inspired by Bella Mackie’s 2021 novel. Taylor-Joy “is the most perfect fit to play Grace,” Mackie said. “I often think she understands her better than I do.”

Grace is the forgotten child of Simon Artemis, a merciless billionaire. After a heartbreaking rejection, Grace decides to exact revenge. But will this deadly scheme take even more from Grace than she’s already lost? The Queen’s Gambit breakout Taylor-Joy is excited to go on Grace’s twisty TV journey alongside Extraordinary creator Emma Moran, How to Kill Your Family’s writer and executive producer.

“As soon as I turned the last page, I knew I had to be a part of bringing this story to life,” Taylor-Joy told Netflix. “After some (light) stalking of the inimitable Bella Mackie, I could not be more thrilled to be collaborating with the team that is executive producers Sally Woodward Gentle, Lizzie Rusbridger, and Emma. I am looking forward to getting our hands even dirtier.”

The eight-episode series follows Grace, who has a complicated family. Her dad is Simon Artemis, a billionaire and ruthless social climber. Grace is the product of an affair Simon claims not to remember, which left Grace and her mom to fend for themselves. When her mother dies and Grace is rejected by the people who should love her, she transforms her anger into something useful — killing off her estranged extended family via morbidly creative means. Soon, Grace is clawing her way toward revenge and a hefty inheritance. But her mission pulls her away from what she really needs.

Writer Moran felt an “immediate kinship” with How to Kill Your Family’s fascinating protagonist. “She’s the kind of complicated, dark, but utterly hilarious antihero you dream of writing,” she said. “Striking that balance between camp fun and brutal violence that Bella hits so perfectly in the book is a challenge I’m so looking forward to. I’ve never had more fun on a project with such a high body count.”
