A 2-minute readAs The Devil Wears Prada 2 approaches its release, the enduring influence of the first film on our culture is undeniable. Cerulean hues are reappearing, and fashion editors are drawing inspiration from Andy Sachs’s style before her transformation. In fashion circles, a particular quote from Miranda Priestly (portrayed by Meryl Streep) has been endlessly repeated for twenty years: “Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking,” she famously remarked in the original movie when presented with pitches for her magazine’s upcoming issue, one of which featured flowers.
While that memorable quote continues to amuse, recent fashion shows by designers such as Chanel and Dior demonstrate that floral patterns can indeed be revitalized and made exciting for the spring season. Anya Taylor-Joy’s most recent outfit serves as additional evidence.
The Golden Globe recipient is currently on a promotional tour for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, reprising her voice role as Princess Peach, a character she initially brought to life in 2023’s The Super Mario Bros. Movie.
Although Taylor-Joy has occasionally adopted “method dressing” with outfits featuring peachy tones, her most recent attire, showcased during a press event in Tokyo, was a purely exquisite fashion statement, devoid of any theatrical elements. This particular piece was sourced directly from the Givenchy Fall/Winter 2026 ready-to-wear lineup.
This is Look 44 from the Givenchy Fall/Winter 2026 ready-to-wear collection.
The mini-dress, designed without straps, featured duchesse satin fabric, characterized by a structured corset top and a skirt adorned with floral embroidery, which was tied into a bow detail on one hip.
Complementing the dress, Taylor-Joy sported the brand’s over-the-knee Shark Pinch boots, also embellished with the matching floral motif. Her ensemble was completed with link earrings and a gold ring from Tiffany & Co.
Thigh-high leather boots featuring floral embroidery, perfectly coordinated with a dress to create a cohesive silhouette? Such an innovative pairing would certainly earn Miranda Priestly’s approval.
