Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor is making a powerful fashion statement with her red carpet appearances. At the premiere of her new film Nickel Boys on December 16, 2024, at the DGA Theater Complex in Los Angeles, the Oscar-nominated actress, known for her roles in King Richard and Origin, opened up about how her style challenges traditional notions of femininity. Wearing a bold Balenciaga outfit, Aunjanue explained that her fashion choices are a reflection of her queerness and her desire to defy the typical expectations of femininity that are often imposed on women at such events.
In interviews, Aunjanue revealed her decision to no longer wear dresses, opting instead for pants to resist the pressure to perform a hyper-feminine image, especially on the red carpet. She expressed a strong desire to break free from societal norms and reject the notion that women must conform to a particular look or perform a certain role.
Nickel Boys will be released in select theaters on December 20, 2024, and will expand in January.
