Curves on Display as Anya Taylor-Joy Stuns in Leather Skirt at Apple TV Event
Anya Taylor-Joy proved once again why she is the reigning queen of both the screen and the red carpet as she stepped out for the Apple TV Press Day in Los Angeles.
The actress made a striking appearance in a curve-hugging black mock-neck blouse paired with a high-waisted leather skirt from the luxury label Khaite. The ensemble, which featured a bold metallic zipper snaking up the side to create a daring leg-baring slit, perfectly set the tone for her transition into a gritty new era of television.
