She kicked off the year in this, winning the Golden Globe for Queen's Gambit, and it is dreamy. Law has gotten her in with Dior for sure. The color is MAJOR and my only beef is that it didn't offer much Zoom interest. That little window gave us nothing.

This at least offered a BIT more, visually, for the telecast? But thank GOD for all these designers and stylists who made sure to put full shots on Instagram (and/or distributed them to the media). I am sincerely grateful to all of you. Also this color is utterly, utterly dreamy.

This was a Tiffany's commercial, and I included it just because with an outfit that MEH and a neckline that in need of a hoik, it sure feels like she should be selling some SERIOUSLY MAJOR BAUBLES, and... no. She's wearing that necklace and bracelet in all of the shots, and if you're thinking, "What necklace," so was I.

You could have told me this was a private school student on her way home and I'd have accepted it.

This was after SNL, and I LOVE IT. I don't know what it is, but it's gorgeous. She should wear it forever.

She wore this to the Cruise fashion show. It's fine! I don't think the cut is all that flattering. I don't think it IS forcing her boobs into a weird position but it LOOKS like it is? Anyway. Nice idea, but weirdly meh in execution.

She ALSO, it seems, loves kitsch? She had a couple dresses where she looked like an actual doll, and this was one of them. I actually don't love it -- to me she looks like she's part of the event staff, directing you to the free water and the throwback MAC lounge.

The shoes aren't for me, but even so, I get it, and this whole thing is so cute. Summer(ish) in Italy in this? Yes please.

73rd Emmy Awards - Limo Drop Off, Los Angeles, United States - 19 Sep 2021
The Dior connections paid off in this, which I believe was her first outing sans Law. I say "paid off" in that she got a dress and it was a big one, not because I think this was an unqualified success. It has all the ingredients, but the final bake doesn't come together for me. The core dress looks like it was painted on, in a way that isn't as seamless as, for example, Zendaya's wet-look Balmain. I also think I just don't love the yellow and cream together?

From the back, eh. I am sure the point was for her to look, from some angles, like she was slipping off a robe. But that isn't very interesting to me.

And, another Dior. This one is quite pretty. It's her third skinny strap/plunge dress of the year, all of them by Dior -- in fact, the cut is very, very, VERY similar to the one at the very top of this slideshow. But it's undeniably great work by them. See how it shimmers.

Cast member Anya Taylor-Joy attends the premiere of the motion picture psychological thriller "Last Night in Soho" at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures on Monday, October 25, 2021. Storyline: Eloise, an aspiring fashion designer, is mysteriously able to enter the 1960s where she encounters a dazzling wannabe singer, Sandie. But the glamour is not all it appears to be and the dreams of the past start to crack and splinter into something far darker.

And finally, we have an OdlR that sure FELT like a cousin to her costumey pink Dior. The colors are great. The animal print accents are perfect. And the angle feels like we're getting a line of Anya Taylor-Joy dolls at Bergdorfs.
