V Magazine Crafting Joy 2026

Description

A striking black and white editorial portrait features actor Anya Taylor-Joy adorned in an elaborate, sculptural headpiece and matching garment crafted from ruffled, translucent materials. Photographed by Nick Knight for V Magazine's 'Crafting Joy' project, the styling by Anna Trevelyan highlights dramatic volume and texture against a pure black backdrop. An artist's hand enters the frame on the left, holding a brush near the brim of the oversized hat. Taylor-Joy gazes intensely at the camera, styled with dynamic windswept hair by Sam McKnight, makeup by Lisa Eldridge, and a delicate sparkling necklace.
