The 2025 Toronto International Film Festival is not only a gathering place for new films, but also a stage for global fashion. On the red carpet, Anya Taylor-Joy delivered an unforgettable appearance. The actress emerged as a contemporary Cinderella, drawing every camera and embodying Dior’s new vision under the creative eye of Jonathan Anderson.
The gown she wore was a unique couture piece, crafted from baby blue satin with a soft crepe finish. Its sleeveless bodice and high neckline framed her slim figure, while the flared skirt balanced structure with romance.

Anya Taylor-Joy’s appearance also marks a pivotal moment for Dior. Jonathan Anderson, the designer celebrated for his work at Loewe and JW Anderson, officially assumed the role of Creative Director for Dior’s menswear and womenswear this year. While Paris Men’s Fashion Week in June saw his Dior Homme debut, Anya’s Toronto gown offered one of the first glimpses into the future of Dior womenswear. With this design, Anderson not only paid homage to Dior’s legacy, but also asserted his own aesthetic – a dialogue between heritage and innovation, between sculptural forms and fragile femininity.
