Emerald elegance: revisiting Anya Taylor-Joy's Golden Globes showstopper!

In a year where virtual red carpets became the norm, Anya Taylor-Joy managed to capture the essence of old Hollywood glamour during the 2021 Golden Globes. Although not in attendance physically, she undeniably made a statement with her show-stopping Dior ensembles, setting a new standard for virtual fashion moments.

Emerald dreams and Dior magic

It's hard to forget that exquisite emerald green dress that became the talk of the town. Crafted by the unparalleled creative genius Maria Grazia Chiuri at Dior, it wasn't just a dress, but a masterpiece. Taking over 300 meticulous hours, three dedicated Dior craftsmen wove this wonder, showcasing a draped bust and delicate cross-over straps. "The dress, which featured a draped bust and sheath, took three Dior workers 300 hours to make in the atelier." Paired with glistening Tiffany & Co diamond jewellery, it was a combination made in fashion heaven.

Law Roach, the stylist behind this sartorial brilliance, shared breathtaking behind-the-scenes glimpses. Whether it was the actress gracefully dancing in the hotel ballroom or posing for her official Golden Globes portrait, she exuded a timeless elegance.

A touch of old Hollywood

With her platinum-blonde tresses styled in Veronica Lake-inspired waves and make-up emphasizing fluttery lashes and a bold lip, Taylor-Joy's look was reminiscent of the golden age of cinema.

Yet, one iconic look wasn't enough for the evening. The "Queen's Gambit" star later transformed into a vision in an ice-blue strapless Dior gown. With undertones of 1940s and '50s 'Miss Dior' dresses, "the satin cuir dress took two people 150 hours to make", encapsulating the pure Cinderella magic.

Fashion aside, it was also a significant evening for Taylor-Joy. Clinching a win for "The Queen's Gambit", she marked a pivotal moment as "the first ever Latina actress to triumph in that category." While her mesmerizing performance in "Emma" was also in the nominations, the accolade went to Rosamund Pike for "I Care A Lot".

As we fondly look back at the 2021 Golden Globes, it's evident that Anya Taylor-Joy didn't just win an award; she won our hearts, carving a niche as a fashion and cinematic icon of her generation.
