Anya Taylor-Joy was spotted leaving her hotel in New York's East Village wearing an outfit from Antonin Tron's Balmain fall 2026 collection. The look featured during the start of Dune: Part 3 press activities marks the first celebrity sighting of Tron's designs for the house.
Anya Taylor-Joy kicked off press for Dune: Part 3 with a teaser trailer release in New York this week. On March 18, 2026, she was seen leaving her hotel in the East Village dressed in pieces from Balmain’s fall 2026 collection. The ensemble included a cropped black high-neck top paired with a knee-length leopard skirt that had a gradient print transitioning into a fringed hem. She completed the outfit with black open-toe pumps and sleek sunglasses, styled by Ryan Hastings. This appearance represents the first public celebrity sighting of designs by Antonin Tron, Balmain's new creative director. Tron, who previously led Atlein, assumed the role following Olivier Rousteing’s departure in November after his 14-year tenure at the house. Ahead of his debut collection earlier this month, Tron described the Balmain woman to Vogue: “The Balmain woman, she’s very unapologetic and very non-bourgeois, she’s quite badass.” Taylor-Joy's choice aligns with the early glimpses of Tron's vision for the brand.
