Anya Taylor-Joy donned a Schiaparelli haute couture bustier dress on the red carpet at the 2023 British Academy Film Awards (BAFTAs) in London on Sunday.
Igniting yet another iteration of the Renaissance-romantic hooded gown trend, she wore the look which had a voluminous cloak in champagne liquid velvet. Designed by Daniel Roseberry, the ensemble was from Schiaparelli couture’s spring 2023 collection. When the line debuted on the runway, it quickly went viral. It featured realistic reproductions of animal heads inspired by Dante’s “Inferno” that ignited a torrent of comment on social media about the glamorization of trophy hunting.
