Anya Taylor-Joy Joins the Tabi Shoe Cult

Anya Taylor-Joy has been embracing a bold, alternative style lately. From her ethereal Maison Margiela Artisanal gown at the Dune: Part Two New York premiere to the dominatrix-worthy leather halter-neck minidress by Ludovic de Saint Sernin at CinemaCon 2024 in Las Vegas, she’s been making waves on the red carpet. But even during her downtime, Taylor-Joy isn’t afraid to push boundaries.

While out for lunch with her husband Malcolm McRae in New York City, Taylor-Joy completed her off-duty look with a controversial footwear choice beloved by fashion aficionados, as well as stars like Rosalía, Dua Lipa and Olivia Rodrigo. She teamed a white T-shirt with straight-leg blue jeans, a black leather biker jacket, a lemon yellow baseball cap and a pair of black leather Maison Margiela penny loafers featuring the brand’s iconic “Tabi” cleft toe.

Last weekend, the actor wore a daring black lace-up leather set by London designer Dilara Fındıkoğlu topped off with a cherry-red Lady Dior bag – a nod to her Dior ambassadorship. With each outing, Taylor-Joy not only demonstrates her fearless style, but also champions emerging designers, solidifying her status as a burgeoning alt-girl fashion trailblazer.
