October is known as the season of spooky stories, spiced pumpkins and the first crunch of autumn leaves.

But the countdown to Christmas has already kicked off as Anya Taylor-Joy stars in the magical Dior Beauty Christmas campaign.

The 30-year-old British-Argentine actress stuns in a graceful cream gown and dainty white kitten heels complete with a beautiful bow.

In the shoot she exchanges gifts with 22-year-old model Deva Cassel, who is dressed in a white strapless gown with contrasting black heels in front of a twinkling gingerbread Christmas tree.

In an invitation to savour the magical season, fairy-light snowflakes swirl around the Dior global brand ambassador whose luscious blonde waves elegantly flow down her back.

Serving as the face of the fashion house, Anya’s incredible cheekbones are highlighted with the makeup look titled Cinnamon Glaze inspired by the seasonal treat with bronzed eyes and a brown-mauve lip.

The Golden Globe winner has been Dior’s global brand ambassador since 2021 and returned to the Atelier of Dreams at the House of Dior in Paris to shoot this year’s Christmas campaign.

Her co-star, Italian-French model Deva signed as Dior’s international ambassador for fashion and makeup in 2024.

It has certainly been a busy year for Anya, who played the voice of Princess Peach in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, starred in Apple TV’s series Lucky and has completed filming for the highly anticipated Dune Part Three.

She stepped into the role of executive producer alongside starring as the eponymous lead in Lucky.

Working alongside Reese Witherspoon, 50, Anya told Elle she has been able to show off ‘the spreadsheet side’ of her personality through the production of the series,

Anya remains hopelessly infatuated by her husband Malcolm McRae, 32, who she secretly married in a private ceremony in New Orleans nearly four years ago before they celebrated with a second wedding in Venice.

The couple met in a music studio where in their first conversation they realised they shared a birthday of April 16th.

She believes it was love at first sight and describes her husband as her other ‘whole’.

‘My dad once told me when I was a kid that you’re not looking for another half to make you whole, that you are whole,’ she said in February last year.

‘And if you’re lucky enough, you meet another whole,’ she continued. ‘And then you become, like, a greater sum of your parts.’
