Anya Taylor-Joy’s Vintage LACMA Look: The Bold Fashion Move You Didn’t See Coming—And What It Means for Your Style Game

When the worlds of film, fashion, art, and entertainment collide, you know something electrifying is about to go down—and last night at LACMA’s 15th annual Art+Film Gala, the sparks definitely flew. Imagine honoring visionary minds like Denis Villeneuve, the genius behind Dune, alongside the delicately meticulous brushstrokes of painter Vija Celmins—all while a constellation of stars, from Kylie Jenner to Nicole Kidman, sashayed the red carpet. But here’s a thought: how often do you see the art of cinema and high fashion intertwining so seamlessly that even Anya Taylor-Joy steps out in vintage Pierre Cardin, making a statement louder than any film premiere? It’s a dazzling reminder that creativity knows no bounds—and sometimes, the best ensembles tell stories as compelling as the films themselves.

Last night, the film, fashion, art, and entertainment worlds came together for the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA)’s 15th annual Art+Film Gala—celebrating the groundbreaking work of industry leaders such as Dune filmmaker Denis Villeneuve and painter Vija Celmins, known for her photo-realistic explorations of nature. And among the star-studded list of attendees, from Kylie Jenner and Kim Kardashian to Nicole Kidman and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, was Dune’s own Anya Taylor-Joy, who showed up to support her director in a striking dose of winter whites.

Styled by Law Roach, the actor went vintage for the occasion, digging through the Pierre Cardin archives for a shimmering Spring/Summer 1997 ensemble. For a base layer, the look featured a sleek and simple silver slip dress, held up by delicate straps and adorned all over with subtle embroidery. The maxi was wrapped in a dramatic, voluminous coat, fashioned from layers of organza stitched into oversize ruffles. It created a spiral effect that brought the eye down to her matching open-toe Jimmy Choo platforms, and back up to her celestial Tiffany & Co. diamond necklace.

Taylor-Joy pulled her hair into a slicked-back bun and gave her eyelids an icy shimmer. Diamond studs finished things off, and she posed for photos with Villeneuve in front of Chris Burden’s public Urban Light installation—a collection of oversize street lamps that doubled as a red carpet for the evening.

The annual fundraising event, co-chaired once again by Leonardo DiCaprio and LACMA trustee Eva Chow, supported the museum’s efforts to expand its programming, making film more central to its exhibitions and education.
