After the wave of “Emily in Paris”, there is another Netflix series that has emerged as a dark horse recently, causing a sensation on social media, “The Queen’s Gambit”! The story of “The Queen’s Gambit” focuses on Beth Harmon, a chess prodigy played by Anya Taylor-Joy, describing her life journey of conquering the male-dominated world of chess with extraordinary skills. The tight and unconventional plot, combined with delicate character portrayals, has made the series very popular, even receiving a 100% rating on the “Rotten Tomatoes” review website!
In addition to the exciting and non-stop plot, the protagonist Anya Taylor-Joy’s various fashion styles in “The Queen’s Gambit” are also a hot topic. Set in the 50s and 60s, Anya’s outfits exude a strong retro flavor, perfectly matching the recent trend of retro fashion, making it very worthy of imitation by girls!
// 簡約剪裁 //
Anya Taylor-Joy’s outfits in “The Queen’s Gambit” mostly lean towards simplicity, often pairing basic items such as a simple dress or a shirt with a skirt. Sometimes adding a cardigan for layering, but not overly complicated. The cuts and silhouettes of the clothing are also simple, aiming to “keep it simple” overall, creating a pure and elegant sense of fashion.

Although maintaining simplicity in her outfits, Anya Taylor-Joy’s costumes actually focus a lot on details, such as the popular 1960s peter pan collar detail found on the shirts and dresses she often wears. This not only presents a contemporary retro vibe but also adds a playful and cute charm, creating a visually youthful effect while also highlighting her elegant and dignified side.

You won’t see Anya Taylor-Joy in bright and eye-catching colors, she mostly incorporates classic black and white tones into her outfits, highlighting her love for black and white chess in the series, while also creating a timeless sense of fashion. Apart from black and white, you can also see mustard yellow, mint green, soft pink and other tones, but they are mainly in soft pastel colors, not giving off a strong feeling.

In the 1950s and 60s, women’s clothing emphasized body curves, especially the waist, so to showcase the mainstream style of that era, Anya Taylor-Joy’s tops are relatively close-fitting, while dresses or skirts are mostly high-waisted, highlighting body curves and slender waistlines, emphasizing female charm.

Anya Taylor-Joy’s clothing is mostly plain, but there are also quite a few garments with checkered patterns, which actually hide a clever idea, symbolizing a chessboard pattern to express her love for chess. Coincidentally, checks are a timeless retro element, so when creating a retro style outfit, you can also imitate her choice of checkered dresses, satin shirts, and even consider getting a checkered coat for the upcoming autumn and winter seasons!
