Anya Taylor-Joy on Her Fashion and Style Inspiration

1 Have Your '60s Roles Rubbed Off on Your Personal Style?

"Oh, yes. The first music I ever fell in love with was the music of the '60s, so I always had a connection with it. But after playing Sandie [in Last Night in Soho and Beth [in The Queen's Gambit], big time. I love all the sets and colour coordination. I've been having fun times with that."

"Growing up, my fashion icon was Peter Pan. Now it's probably Edie Sedgwick, and oh my goodness, Cher. Cher when she was wearing a lot of Bob Mackie."

3 Name a Memorable Fashion Splurge or the Last Thing You Bought

"My first fashion splurge was a men's ring. It hurt when I bought it and it was so large that I went out that night to celebrate and I flicked it off my finger and lost it immediately. So that was a bummer, but I got it back and it was fine. The last thing that I bought was a Tigger onesie, and I love it."

4 If You Could Only Dress Like 1 Character — Beth or Sandie — Who Would It Be?

"I would probably go for Beth, just because at a certain point she starts wearing jeans and trousers. A usual test I do for my clothes if I'm going out in real life is, 'Could I climb a tree in this?' If that's a no, I tend to not wear it. I think I could climb more trees in Beth's outfits."

"I bought a pair of white, knee-high boots and I have not stopped wearing them since I played Sandie. That combination of the white PVC coat and the knee-high boots."
