Anya Taylor-Joy left little to the imagination when she emerged in New York on Wednesday amid the publicity rounds for Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.
The 28-year-old plays the title role in the origin story of Imperator Furiosa, the character first portrayed by Charlize Theron in Mad Max: Fury Road.
While dashing between media appearances in support of her new film, Anya has caught the eye with her eminently stylish ensembles.
However her latest look may have been her most head-turning yet - a skimpy backless cocktail dress that hugged her lithe figure.
Her saucy ensemble featured spaghetti straps down the back, with a weave so open that it hinted she had no underwear on.

The wine-colored dress was cut to emphasize her taut midriff and show off her statuesque legs as she pounded the pavement in the city that never sleeps.
Sweeping her signature platinum hair into a ponytail, she brought out her luminous complexion with a blood-red shade of lipstick.
Her latest outing comes after she confessed she had no driver's license before she had to stunt-drive for Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.
'They just threw me in the car and went you're going to do this. I was like: "Okay,"' she said while being interviewed with her co-star Chris Hemsworth on Lorraine.
She noted how 'fun' it was 'that the first thing I learned how to do in a car was' the strenuous stunts she had to perform for the movie.
'I have fallen in love with it, I want to get my normal driving license, I want to get my stunt driving license. It's a really cool way to learn how to drive.'
Fury Road starred Charlize Theron as Furiosa, an avenging warrior who leads a tribe of women in a relentlessly macho, post-apocalyptic wasteland.
Now Anya's new movie is on the verge of release, relaying the heartrending origin story that turns Furiosa into a hardened, ruthless killer.
Anya plays the title role of Furiosa, starting off as a long-haired beauty who turns into the cropped-haired, warpainted bruiser that Fury Road fans will instantly recognize.

The warlord Dementus, played by Chris, kidnaps her from her luscious, green homeland and out of the arms of her 'magnificent' mother.
Dementus and his gang are at that point waging a conflict with another warlord called Immortan Joe (Lachy Hulme) - later the villain of Mad Max: Fury Road.
During the events of the prequel, Immortan Joe is seen developing an alliance with Furiosa, who enters his employ on the basis of their common enemy.
Directed by George Miller, the mastermind behind the whole Mad Max franchise, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga debuted at Cannes last week.
The movie was met with a warm reception at the festival, including a six-minute standing ovation and glowing reviews to the tune of 86% on Rotten Tomatoes.
While promoting the movie, which bows on Friday, Anya recently revealed that one extended 15-minute sequence took a staggering 78 days to film.
'We shot it for 78 days, 78 days!' she shared on The One Show. 'Yes. It's called Stowaway. It was 100 per cent the mountain we were all trying to climb.'
