Super Mario Star Anya Taylor-Joy Shares Swimsuit Photo in Dior

Anya Taylor-Joy has become one of Hollywood’s most sought after actresses. She’s starred in some of the most popular works over the last couple years, including The Witch, The Queen’s Gambit, The Menu, and most recently, The Super Mario Bros. Movie. Joy just shared a new set of photos on Instagram. In one, she stood outside in a swimsuit, her figure on display. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Anya Taylor-Joy stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Takes Care Of Her Skin

Joy opened up about her skincare secrets in an interview with Vanity Fair. “It took me a while to start washing my face, but now that I have makeup on it a lot, I like this cleanser by Chanel called Sublimage. It’s the one thing that doesn’t ever make me break out because I have such sensitive skin. There’s a nutrient mist by True Botanicals which is really nice. I’ve spritzed it in the face of every boyfriend I’ve ever had. Moisturizer I’m a bit more witchy with, in the sense that I love olive oil, I love avocado oil.”

2. She Accepts Herself

Joy is all about accepting herself. She says to Vanity Fair that her hair is part of this journey to self acceptance. “I had hair that was long and super blonde my entire life. I remember it was a source of identity for me. I dyed it pink, and then I chopped it really, really short when I was 18. My hair was pretty much black when my career started taking off, and it almost felt like a nice front to have: ‘This is the way I’m portraying myself.’ I actively fought against going back to my roots. Now I’m in that period of my life where I’m like, ‘No, I’m pretty O.K. with who I am’—or I’m getting there. I’m going to be a dark redhead by the end of the year, and I was copper last year, which I loved, so I’m very curious to see what a deep auburn feels like.”

Joy makes sure to stand up for herself. Even when she’s on set. “I laugh all the time,” she tells Vanity Fair. “I’m a hugger, I like being happy—but when you stand in front of a wall of photographers, a lot of them who are men, and they’re all screaming at you to smile, I get so pissed off. I’m not going to do something just because you told me to.”

4. She’s Comfortable With Her Roles

Joy opened up about her acting process with Vanity Fair. “I feel most comfortable when living with a character. What’s funny—and I don’t know if this is true because I’ve never done a straight-out comedy before—but film sets that are making movies about such dark subject matters are the happiest places in the world because you need that. Otherwise no one’s going to survive. I do think there’s a lot to be said for having the permission to scream as loudly as you possibly want, rather than just being in your room and putting a pillow to your face and screaming. I feel so much emotional release for that. It comes not from a place of my own, but from a place of empathy for the character. It just so happens that it exorcizes some of my demons at the same time, too.”

5. She Dances

Joy tells Tattler Magazine that she loves to dance. “I don’t have time to be a 25-year-old with a hangover. But I’m not someone who needs a drink to dance. Basically I’ve become very efficient at everything. I’m like ‘What do I need out of this situation? I need to dance for a couple of hours, see my friends and have a good time’, so I’m like ‘Right, let’s bang it out.’ Then it’s: go home, have a bath, get up for work. I sound mental, but that’s what’s working for me right now.”

Demi Moore, at 58, is as body confident as ever, posing in a swimsuit with her daughters in a new campaign for Andie swimwear. “LDW ready, with @andieswim,” she captioned the photo on Instagram, referring to the long weekend.

1. She’s Happy to Be Where She Is

Demi's approach to life? "It's about embracing and no longer looking for what's wrong and really being in acceptance of everything. Gravity is going in directions that I'm not so fond of. I can look in the mirror occasionally and say 'you're lying, I don't look like that.' but the reality is the comfort I feel in my skin is the greatest gift. I wouldn't trade it. I'm just happy to be where I am," she told InStyle.

2. She Knows Things Change

“Things do change,” Demi told W Magazine not too long ago. “The biggest difference, I think, is that I’m not in nearly as good shape physically as I have been before, and I have skin going in a direction that I would prefer it not go. There are things that just come with getting older. But I think my big mantra for this year is about acceptance. I was reading this book that was written around 1919, if I am remembering correctly, and it was very of its day. It was discussing all the ‘female’ concerns. There were some horrific suggestions on how to take care of yourself, including putting some kind of acid on your skin. But there was one thing I took away, because I think it’s true—the author said not to frown because at a certain point it will stick. And what speaks to me here is that I do believe that when we hold upset, anger, hurt, pain or bitterness, it ages us and we wear it. That isn’t to say we are always going to feel happy. But it’s important not to hold on to things.”

3. She Was Once a Workout Obsessive

When getting ready for certain revealing scenes in movies, “I cut out carbs, I ran, and I biked, and I worked out on every machine imaginable. I didn’t feel like I could stop exercising,” she wrote in her book. “It was my job to fit into that unforgiving military uniform I’d be wearing in two months in A Few Good Men. Getting in shape for that movie launched the obsession with working out that would consume me over the next five years. I never dared let up.”

4. She’s Used the Mirror

Now Demi is more likely to use the Mirror, the workout device that is an actual mirror on your wall, with built-in videos that play on it. "15 min at level 1 that’s doable … right? I am stalling!" Demi wrote once in a post. "This is going to be my next jam. Okay, here I go, wish me luck."

5. She Loves Andie Swimwear

"Demi was an early investor," Andie's founder and CEO, Melanie Travis, told InStyle. "We've always talked about what would make sense to do together, and then back in December of 2020 — in anticipation of a successful vaccine rollout and then what would hopefully be a great summer of friends and family, being able to travel, and get together again, across the United States — we felt like this could be the perfect summer to do a campaign together."
