Taylor-Joy’s ensemble also included a coordinating headpiece, which continued the arrow element from a skullcap, designed similarly to the minidress the Emmy-nominated actress wore. The actress’ look was curated by stylist Ryan Hastings.

The Paco Rabanne ensemble originally made its runway debut in the mid-’90s, during the showcase for the fashion house’s spring 1996 couture collection. The look follows a trend Taylor-Joy has seemingly followed for the press tour of “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.”

Taking inspiration from the aforementioned film and opting for looks that complement her method-dressing approach to fashion, Taylor-Joy recently wore pieces evocative of the fiery and desolate setting of “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.”
