Dior has named British-American actress Anya Taylor-Joy as its latest global brand ambassador in the brand’s core domains of fashion and makeup. The 25-year-old movie star, whose style encompasses supreme sophistication and retro glamor, will wear creations designed by Maria Grazia Chiuri.

After winning over audiences and critics in “The Witch,” Anya Taylor-Joy brilliantly slipped into the shoes of tormented chess prodigy, Beth Harmon, in “The Queen’s Gambit.” It was a role that earned her a host of awards, including prestigious accolades like a Screen Actors Guild Award and a Golden Globe. A true chameleon in front of a camera, the actress also seems able to effortlessly enhance any clothing style, although she often seems to favor classic Hollywood-esque styles.

Checked coats, white wool coats and turtleneck sweaters came back to the forefront as soon as the drama was released, inspiring new collections from many fashion houses.
