Anya Taylor-Joy experienced an awkward wardrobe malfunction as she fell out of her towering Christian Louboutin heels while heading to the Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga afterparty following the premiere in London. The actress encountered the mishap while she attempted to make her way through a central London food court in her £645 pump heels. Despite the slip, her assistants quickly came to her aid and helped her get her foot back into the sky-high stilettos. Anya, who plays the young Furiosa in the film, had changed into a 90s inspired outfit using four belts as a skirt for the evening event, after dazzling fans on the red carpet in a floral ruffled bodysuit with sheer tights and stilettos.
During the premiere, Anya Taylor-Joy made sure to stand out in a black bodysuit with ruffled off-the-shoulder sleeves, paired with a triple-chain diamond necklace and matching earrings. She was joined by her co-star Chris Hemsworth, who looked dapper in a three-piece duck-egg blue suit. The event also saw the attendance of other stars including Alyla Browne, who plays the younger version of Anya’s character, as well as Chris’s famous brothers Liam and Luke, who showed their support. The premiere was a star-studded affair with guests like Bridgerton star Adjoa Andoh and Love Island star Tasha Ghouri debuting new looks.
Anya and Chris appeared on The One Show and revealed that a 15-minute action scene in Furiosa took a remarkable 78 days to film. According to Anya, the scene was a challenging but fun experience, and was all contained in the war rig set. Both actors flew in from Cannes, where they attended the premiere for Furiosa. Anya stunned on the red carpet in a strapless Dior gown with diamond jewellery, while Chris arrived in a smart white suit with his wife Elsa Pataky. The film is a prequel to the acclaimed Mad Max: Fury Road and follows the origin story of Furiosa, played by Charlize Theron in the previous movie.
The premiere also saw the attendance of stars like Adjoa Andoh, Tasha Ghouri, and Mollie Pearce, who made stylish appearances. The film’s creator, George Miller, returned to helm the project, which explores the character of Furiosa and her early years. Chris described his character, Dementus, as a violent, brutal warlord born from the Wasteland. The film received early positive reactions from critics, with praise for the direction of George Miller and the performances of Anya and Chris. Furiosa is described as a saga that will span over a 15-year period, offering a different narrative timeline from Fury Road, which took place over three days.
Filming for Furiosa took place in New South Wales, Australia, over a five-month period, wrapping up in October. The prequel delves into the backstory of the title character and promises to be an exciting addition to the Mad Max franchise. Anya Taylor-Joy’s portrayal of a young Furiosa has been highly anticipated, and her red carpet appearances during the premieres have made a statement in the fashion world. With a stellar cast, stunning visuals, and intense action sequences, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is set to captivate audiences and continue the legacy of the iconic film series.
