At the 16th Governors Awards in Los Angeles, Anya Taylor-Joy wore a Maison Margiela Artisanal 2025 sleeveless corseted bustier dress in sheer white jersey, paired with Claw Tabi pumps on perspex wedges. A sculptural couture moment that reasserts Margiela’s experimental language under John Galliano.
The sleeveless bustier dress clings to the body like a second skin, crafted in sheer white jersey that reveals internal construction lines. The integrated corset cinches the waist without visible stiffness, evoking Margiela’s signature illusion tailoring. The entire look exudes controlled fragility, amplified by the garment’s ghostly whiteness.
Maison Margiela’s iconic Tabi shoes appear here as “Claw” versions, perched on transparent plexiglas wedges. They inject both primal energy and abstraction, extending the body’s line while distorting the usual codes of Hollywood glamour. The clear wedge heel adds an almost spectral dimension to the outfit.
The Artisanal 2025 line continues Galliano’s interrogation of clothing as memory and transformation. Transparency, exposed seams, and theatrical couture references are core elements of Margiela’s current vocabulary. On Anya Taylor-Joy, the look embodies this blend of archival tension and forward-thinking experimentation.
In a landscape saturated with predictable styling effects, this ensemble redirects focus to construction, materiality, and the performance of dressing. More than aesthetic choice, it reads as an editorial statement: exposing seams, making the body an ambiguous canvas, and treating couture as narrative rather than decoration.
The Mexican actor wore a classic black Maison Margiela Icons tuxedo with a black turtleneck. His understated elegance contrasts sharply with Taylor-Joy’s abstract couture, highlighting Margiela’s dual capacity for both radical reinvention and timeless minimalism.
It affirms Margiela’s position as a conceptual couture powerhouse and frames Anya Taylor-Joy as the face of a cerebral luxury where garment aura prevails over mere appearance.
