attended Dior’s Cruise 2022 show today in Athens, Greece dressed appropriately for the occasion. Arriving with her braided hair wrapped around her head, suggesting something of a crown effect, she certainly looked like a Greek goddess. Her dress, Dior of course, was a shimmering, sheer champagne number that seemed fit to wear atop Mount Olympus itself. It’s the kind of outfit that would leave someone making offerings to Euphrosyne, the Greek goddess of, well, joy.
And while Taylor-Joy’s outfit may have evoked mythology, Dior creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri actually chose Athens as the show’s location because of its relationship to sports. It’s fitting, though, because Athens is the birthplace of the Olympics, after all. The collection was inspired by the freedom of movement offered by athletics after a year of lockdown.
