At the 2024 Glastonbury Festival, Somerset’s Worthy Farm was transformed into a huge music and arts fete. Over five days, Hollywood’s most stylish figures graced the stage and the grounds. Though there was no official dress code, fashion’s elite seemed to adhere to an unspoken theme: varying degrees of undress.
Among those who embraced the “naked” look was Anya Taylor-Joy. On Saturday, June 29, the Dune: Part Two star garnered attention with her festival attire. What appeared to be a standard white t-shirt was actually soaked, clinging tightly to her body. Taylor-Joy leaned fully into the revealing aesthetic, hiking up the dress to a micro mini length, thereby showcasing her contrasting black underwear.
An Unexpected Twist
The initial simplicity of her outfit was deceptive. Topped with an olive green military-inspired jacket and styled with black sneakers, Anya’s look combined elements of toughness and allure. Later in the day, she shed the jacket for jorts with fringe detailing around the pocket. The outfit shift included tucking her wet tee into these shorts and accessorizing with a buttery yellow cap.
She completed both outfits with layers of gold jewelry including chunky rings and necklaces, and sported black sunglasses from Christian Dior.
A Fashion Illusion
If you’re wondering why Taylor-Joy didn’t change into a dry shirt when switching up her shorts, it’s because her shirt wasn’t actually wet. It was all a clever optical illusion, much like the trompe-l’oeil trend popularized since spring 2023 by celebrities like Kylie Jenner and Gigi Hadid.
The mind-bending aesthetics have found favor among fashion aficionados for their playful yet daring approach to style. For those looking to start incorporating more revealing looks without full commitment, trompe-l’oeil garments provide a suitable introduction.
