People Have 1 Burning Question About Anya Taylor-Joy’s Wild Red Carpet Look
The logistics of Anya Taylor-Joy’s arrow-themed outfit are making social media users quiver.
Taylor-Joy showed up to the Australia premiere of her new film, “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga,” on Wednesday in full warrior mode, wearing a sheer, gold chain-linked mini dress and headpiece that were both pierced with dozens of spears.
The piece is from Paco Rabanne’s spring 1996 couture collection, according to Vogue. Taylor-Joy’s vintage look included arrows in the front and back of her outfit, just like it was originally shown on the runway.
Naturally, the over-the-top ensemble spiked social media users’ interest on X, formerly called Twitter, with people poking fun at Taylor-Joy.

But most people were concerned about one specific aspect of the dress.
So how does she sit down?

This is not the first time the “Queen’s Gambit” actor has worn a themed outfit to help promote “Furiosa,” which is a prequel to 2015’s “Mad Max: Fury Road” and releases on May 24.
Taylor-Joy, who plays the role of Furiosa (previously portrayed by Charlize Theron), donned a halter-style studded mini dress that bore a resemblance to car tires at CinemaCon last month.
It seems like Taylor-Joy is particularly proud of the upcoming movie.
In a recent Entertainment Weekly cover story with “Furiosa” co-star Chris Hemsworth, Taylor-Joy spoke about her experience working on the film.
“I wanted something that was going to challenge my body and soul, and it was definitely that,” she said. “I think I was surprised. What I thought would be difficult was really easy, and what I thought would be easy was actually very difficult.”
