The 28-year-old actress stepped out in style for the Thursday, May 2 premiere of Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga — the fifth installment of the franchise — in Sydney, Australia. Joy turned heads in an embellished gold and silver minidress and matching headpiece, both adorned with giant spikes that resemble arrows. The look, styled by Ryan Hastings, is from Paco Rabanne's spring/summer 1996 collection.
The star’s signature long, blonde hair was hidden underneath the headpiece and she accessorized with clear slingback pumps.
The film, which is a prequel to 2015’s Mad Max: Fury Road, hits theaters May 24. Joy and her costar, Chris Hemsworth, unveiled details, footage and never-before-seen photos for fans at CinemaCon 2024 in Las Vegas on April 9.

Earlier this year, Joy shut down the red carpet at the Dune: Part Two premiere in London. She confirmed her surprise role in the sequel by appearing on the red carpet in an avant-garde bridal-inspired look.

At the February 15 premiere, Joy sported a custom Dior ensemble complete with a sheer white cotton organdy hooded cape draped over a plunging pleated silk gown. She completed the look with open-toe Dior shoes.
