Anya Taylor-Joy captivates at the Super Mario Galaxy Movie promotional event in Tokyo, channeling Princess Peach in a striking all-peach ensemble. The 29-year-old actress, known for The Queen’s Gambit, dons a form-fitting bandeau crop top paired with a high-waisted fishtail skirt. A dramatic oversized disc hat crowns the look, complemented by her sleek, ice-blonde straight hair. The peach hue enhances her fair complexion, while matching long nails add a meticulous finishing touch.
Star-Studded Gathering
Co-stars including Charlie Day, Jack Black, Donald Glover, Chris Pratt, Benny Safdie, and Keegan-Michael Key join the excitement. The upcoming animated adventure comedy draws from the 2007 video game Super Mario Galaxy and its 2010 sequel.
Recent Today Show Insights
Anya recently appeared on The Today Show, where host Craig Melvin highlighted patterns in her roles. Melvin noted: ‘In The Queen’s Gambit you’re trapped in chess, you’re trapped in the kingdom here in Mario, [and] you’re trapped sort of in Survival.’
Anya laughed lightly and responded: ‘So, I have a history of being trapped?’ Melvin probed if it was coincidence or a deliberate theme. She reflected: ‘It does feel like fate. I think now, with some hindsight, I do see a through-line between my own personal journey and what I’ve been allowed to depict on screen, but they always seem very different to me.’
Melvin also addressed rumors of her portraying Joni Mitchell in a biopic, drawing parallels to Princess Peach. He asked: ‘You’re rumored to be playing Joni Mitchell, speaking of through-lines here… Arguably one of the most singularly important women in music over the last generation or so. Princess Peach, one of the most iconic women in gaming history. What is the connection there?’
Anya countered: ‘What is the connection between Joni Mitchell and Princess Peach? That they’re both singular. You can’t touch them. They’re in a league of their own.’
