Let\u2019s start with a memory. A younger Anya Taylor-Joy, bottle in hand, making her first truly independent beauty purchase: a vial of Miss Dior. \u201cI remember going to school and feeling really powerful in it,\u201d she recalls, while speaking exclusively to GRAZIA. That\u2019s the through-line. Not just glamour, not just fashion \u2013 but the quiet, subversive power that comes from a choice made for yourself. It\u2019s a feeling she\u2019s spent a career curating, both on-screen and off, and it\u2019s the exact energy Dior has packaged into its new Addict line.<\/p>\n

For the first time, Peter Philips, Dior\u2019s Creative and Image Director for Makeup, and Perfume Creation Director Francis Kurkdjian have built a collection in tandem \u2013 lip oils and fragrances designed to be worn together. The goal was to capture a modern kind of radiance \u2013 what they call the \u201cGlow\u201d. But as Taylor-Joy embodies, glow isn\u2019t about highlighter. It\u2019s a state of being. It\u2019s the confidence that lets you swipe on a bold lip without a mirror, or choose a scent because it pleases you, and you alone. Her career has been a powerful ascent, cemented by her captivating screen presence and a singular ability to inhabit complex roles \u2013 all underscored by a style that blends the ethereal with the audacious. It\u2019s this very essence \u2013 the mix of confidence, irreverence, and allure \u2013 that makes her the perfect muse for Dior Addict.<\/p>\n

FROM FIRST SPRITZ TO GLOBAL MUSE<\/h3>\n

That sense of personal empowerment, of beauty as an internal force, is a powerful thread that runs through Taylor-Joy\u2019s relationship with the brand. Her connection deepened during her first Dior show, which she describes as a \u201cvisceral experience\u201d thanks to \u201ca beautiful exposition of horses\u201d, as well as the then-creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri \u201ctaking a lot of inspiration from Spanish culture\u201d.<\/p>\n

This was matched by an almost tangible sense of consideration. \u201cThe way that the house treated every one of their guests felt so special, tailored to their unique sensibilities,\u201d she recalls. It left her with a clear, quiet conviction: \u201cI remember thinking, \u2018Ooh, if I have a choice in who I get to work with, I really hope it\u2019s Dior\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

That choice, when it came, felt natural. What holds her inspiration is the brand\u2019s unwavering fidelity to a simple, radical idea. \u201cIt all really stays true to Mr. Dior\u2019s first sentiment of wanting women to feel beautiful, just for themselves,\u201d she observes. \u201cYes, it is an outward expression, but he really cared about how the individual felt in the clothes. I think you can feel that.\u201d<\/p>\n

This distinction \u2013 between how something looks and how it makes you feel \u2013 is everything. It\u2019s also what makes her the perfect voice for Dior Addict. The line has always been bold and irreverent, but with Taylor-Joy, that spirit becomes internal. It\u2019s less about a look you adopt and more about an innate confidence you carry. It\u2019s the glow from within, finally meeting its perfect tools.<\/p>\n

THE EVOLUTION OF A BEAUTY ICON<\/h3>\n

Taylor-Joy\u2019s journey with beauty hasn\u2019t always been this intertwined with luxury. Her early years painted a very different picture. \u201cIt\u2019s evolved massively,\u201d she laughs. \u201cI grew up a huge tomboy. I had no awareness of the beauty sphere of skincare or anything.\u201d Her career, however, brought a newfound appreciation for self-care. \u201cI got to a point where I realised it was important for me to start taking care of my face because it\u2019s a huge part of what I do,\u201d she explains. The transformation, she notes, was inspired by the passionate experts around her. \u201cI feel so lucky that I got to learn from people who are the best in their industry. I find passion contagious, so if I\u2019m around very passionate people around a certain subject, it naturally rubs off on me. Spending so much time with the Dior beauty and fashion teams has really shaped how I look at the world. Now, I love my morning and nighttime routines. I never, ever skip them!\u201d<\/p>\n

This devotion to ritual finds its perfect partner in the new Dior Addict collection. Before becoming a face of the line, Taylor-Joy admits she was captivated by its unique visual identity. \u201cI remember the images \u2013 there was always something about Dior Addict that had an irreverence to it. It felt fresher and sly than other campaigns. There was a wink inherent in the images that I remember.\u201d<\/p>\n

That inherent wink is precisely what Taylor-Joy connects with in the \u201cDior Addict spirit.\u201d \u201cAgain, I think it\u2019s an irreverence,\u201d she affirms. \u201cIt\u2019s quite joyful. There\u2019s a feeling of being extremely confident in your skin, and I think we all want a little bit more of that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kurkdjian\u2019s task was to create the scent equivalent of that glow. His approach was clever: he looked for the hidden fruit within Dior\u2019s most classic flowers. So, Rosy Glow smells like the lychee at the heart of a rose; Peachy Glow finds the fuzzy peach skin scent in jasmine; Purple Glow teases out the raspberry note of iris. They\u2019re gourmand, but not childish. \u201cI wanted to surprise them with a new, \u2018flower pulp\u2019 sensation,\u201d he says. They are, as he intended, \u201cfeel-good perfumes\u201d that have \u201ca truly gourmand dimension and that touch of French je ne sais quoi characterised by irreverence crossed with carefree, sensual youth\u201d.<\/p>\n

Scent, for Taylor-Joy, is profoundly tied to memory and metamorphosis. She assigns a different fragrance to each character she plays, creating a portable memory. Peachy Glow, with its jasmine core, connects her to childhood, to her mother who loved the flower. But beyond nostalgia, she uses scent to shape her own energy. \u201cI will spray perfume even if I\u2019m not seeing anyone that day, because it makes me feel like my aura is amplified,\u201d she explains. \u201cIt\u2019s like a personal prayer, of sorts.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A NEW ERA<\/h3>\n

Complementing these irresistible scents is the reinvented Dior Addict Lip Glow Oil, a product Philips describes as \u201cinstantly appealing, girly, and gorgeous,\u201d delivering \u201cbespoke\u201d colour and intense hydration.<\/p>\n

The cult-favourite product, now infused with nourishing cherry oil for 24-hour hydration and eight-hour smoothing, has been expanded with two new gourmand shine finishes, Sparkly and Glaze, joining the iconic Juicy, across 16 ultra-glowy shades. Taylor-Joy\u2019s experience is the perfect test of his theory. She doesn\u2019t talk about pH-reactive technology or cherry oil first; she talks about the feeling. \u201cI\u2019ve always been a big fan of a berry lip,\u201d she shares, pointing to the deep shades as an instant confidence switch. Her current favourite is the Black Cherry oil in the new Glaze finish, which Philips designed to coat lips in a \u201cmilky syrup\u201d of intense colour. \u201cMinimal effort, high elevation,\u201d Taylor-Joy says. \u201cYou just put it on and you\u2019re like, \u2018oh, I\u2019m done!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

She also instinctively appreciates the practical elegance Philips engineered. She notes how it stays put without transferring and has even woven it into a private, nurturing ritual. \u201cI\u2019ll sometimes put it on before bed after I\u2019ve kissed my husband goodnight,\u201d she confesses. \u201cI know I\u2019ll wake up with nourished, lovely lips \u2013 it\u2019s a nice thing to do just before you go to bed.\u201d It\u2019s the ultimate validation of his vision: a product that works as brilliantly as it makes you feel.<\/p>\n

Being a Dior ambassador, particularly with this innovative launch, has deepened Taylor-Joy\u2019s appreciation for the artistry behind luxury. \u201cMy love affair with fashion started later, and I discovered the magic of clothes through character and through feeling like I had the outlines of a person that I could make real with clothes and with the right hairstyle. I could make them their own individual person,\u201d she reflects.<\/p>\n

Her introduction to Dior, which coincided with this discovery, has been profound. \u201cHaving that run concurrently with my introduction to Dior, and being able to visit the archives, deepened this respect for craftsmanship and respect for art,\u201d she shares. \u201cNow, it really influences the way I look at everything in my life, because if you aren\u2019t aware of design prior and then you suddenly get your eyes opened to it, it makes looking at the world a more luscious experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anya Taylor-Joy, with her captivating energy and authentic connection to beauty as a form of self-expression, is the perfect embodiment of the new Dior Addict. She reminds us that true radiance stems from confidence, joy, and the freedom to embrace every facet of our identity \u2013 from the scent we wear to the shine on our lips. With the new Lip Glow Oil and Gourmand Glow fragrances, Dior Addict doesn\u2019t just offer products; it offers an invitation to a more colourful, sensual, and utterly irresistible world.<\/p>\n
