Anya Taylor-Joy and Malcolm McRae’s Love Story
For the main event, Taylor-Joy made a bold yet stunning fashion statement, opting for a beige, princess-shaped bridal gown adorned with intricate floral and bird embellishments across the bodice. She completed her bridal look with a bright white veil, elegantly styled on her half up, half down.
The love story between Anya Taylor-Joy and Malcolm McRae began at the premiere of Taylor-Joy’s period drama ‘Queen’s Gambit’ in March 2021. McRae, deeply enamored, composed an original song for his beloved within just two days of their first encounter. Despite keeping their relationship low-key initially, the couple made their first public appearance at the Vanity Fair Oscars Afterparty.
Prior to their extravagant Venice affair, the couple had an intimate courthouse ceremony in the US in July 2022, marking the beginning of their journey as a married couple. The magical Venice ceremony added another chapter to their love story, surrounded by the charm of the city’s romantic canals and historic landmarks.
