American actress Anya Taylor-Joy is currently staying in Sydney to promote her upcoming movie Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga alongside leading man Chris Hemsworth.

And on Tuesday, the Split star, 28, braved the city's rainy weather as she headed out for lunch in a typically stylish ensemble. 

Sheltering under an umbrella, the bombshell showcased her elegant sense of fashion in a black blazer layered over a navy jumpsuit. 

She accessorised with a set of maroon heels, a black headband, matching tote bag and a selection of rings and necklaces. 

The Florida-born star wore her ice blonde hair styled perfectly straight around her shoulders and sported a slick of red lipstick.

At one point, Anya demonstrated why she is regarded as one of Hollywood's nicest celebrities as she chatted to a fan and posed for a selfie.

Her outing came after the film's director George Miller revealed his verdict on the performances of his lead actors Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth.

The veteran filmmaker, 79, recently appeared at the Warner Bros. 2024 CinemaCon in Las Vegas and jokingly said they were so good he had trouble recognising them out of costume.

'They're complete frauds to me after I spent a year in the cutting room,' he said.

Both Chris, 40, and Anya appear unrecognisable in the trailer for the upcoming movie, with Chris transforming into villain Dementus with shaggy, shoulder-length hair, an overgrown beard and a prosthetic nose.

Meanwhile, Anya sports matted hair and a dirty face in trailers, looking worlds away from her usual glamorous self. 

Miller added that both actors had the perfect combination of charisma and endurance to successfully pull off the demanding roles.

'Anya is resolute, disciplined and very smart,' he said.

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, the fifth movie in the long-running series, will be released in cinemas on Thursday, May 23.
