Anya Taylor-Joy Wore Dior To ‘The Super Mario Galaxy Movie’ Japan Premiere

Anya Taylor-Joy attended The Super Mario Galaxy Movie event in Kyoto, Japan this weekend.

The actress stepped out in a Dior cherry blossom-embroidered strapless organza dress with a silhouette that appears to have drawn inspiration from look 22 of Jonathan Anderson’s Dior Spring 2026 Haute Couture collection.

The timing of wearing this dress here is key. Cherry blossoms – known as sakura – define spring in Japan, with the country’s famed blooming season unfolding right now. That context shifts how this look reads. Rather than being a broad nod to Kyoto, the dress aligns with the season itself, reflecting what is currently in bloom.

I love how the sculpted mini silhouette, finished with a lifted, petal-like hem, mirrors the delicacy of the blossom embroidery.

If you want to draw a character connection, there is a subtle link to Princess Peach. The sweetness of the floral appliqué and the almost doll-like shape echo the character’s femininity, but it is filtered through Dior’s lens, which elevates it beyond a direct reference.

The white Aquazzura Olie sandals are a simple and clean choice, while Tiffany & Co. jewels add a refined finish at the neckline.

This is a look that succeeds because it meets the moment being seasonally relevant, visually coherent, and executed with precision.

Stylist: Ryan Hastings.
