At Sunday's Critics Choice Awards, Anya Taylor-Joy scooped the award for 'Best Actress in a Limited Series' for her role as chess prodigy Beth, in the hit Netflix show The Queen’s Gambit

The 24-year-old wowed viewers at the virtual ceremony in another gown from French fashion house of Dior. Anya teamed up once again with stylist Law Roach, who completed her look with matching gloves, as well as purple earrings and a gold ring from Bvlgari.

This time, it was a regal berry look designed by Dior creative director Mari Grazia Chiuri that had us wide-eyed with admiration.  

Anya Taylor-Joy's Golden Globes green Dior gown had taken over 300 hours to make. Her second headturner, took 100 hours less.
