There are outfits… and then there are moments. And in true It Girl fashion, Anya Taylor-Joy gave us the latter while stepping out in New York City to promote her new filmThe Super Mario Galaxy Movie. Wearing a look from Balmain’s Fall/Winter 2026 collection, Anya took a walk on the wild side (quite literally). Styled in a sleek black halter top and a leopard-print midi skirt adorned with textured fringe, the ensemble struck the perfect balance between classic glamour and untamed edge.
Set against the backdrop of Manhattan, the outfit felt especially at home. New York has always had a way of elevating fashion into performance, and Anya understood the assignment. Paired with minimal black heels and sharp, narrow sunglasses, the styling remained clean, allowing the print and silhouette to take center stage. And that’s the magic of it.

Animal print, when done wrong, can feel loud. But when Balmain does it, it’s very rarely a miss. This wasn’t just a promotional appearance. Anya served a reminder to fashion girlies everywhere that sometimes, the best way to stand out is to lean all the way in.
