Anya Taylor-Joy, 28, showed off the curious shoes – worn with a black playsuit and the Jean Paul Gaultier cropped jacket – trackside in Monte Carlo

All suited up for the Monaco Grand Prix, the £245 vintage jacket could have been an homage to racing leathers.

The inspiration for Anya Taylor-Joy’s £1,150 loafers with split toes remains unclear.

On Sunday, the 28-year-old actress showed off the unusual shoes, which she wore with a black playsuit and a Jean Paul Gaultier cropped jacket, at the Monte Carlo racetrack.

Far from a fashion faux pas, Maison Margela’s split-toe loafers, known as ‘Tabis’, are a stylish classic noted for their comfort and flexibility.

She appeared happy as she met supermodel Winnie Harlow and her boyfriend Kyle Kuzma.

Winnie, 29, smiled as she hugged Anya while wearing a cream crocheted dress embellished with flowers and stunning diamond earrings.

Anya also embraced 28-year-old basketball player Kyle, who looked effortlessly trendy in a grey vest and bucket hat, as well as multiple silver chains and sunglasses.

Winnie and Kyle have been dating since April 2020, and Winnie previously revealed that the NBA player had DM’d her a year prior, but she had missed it.

On The Ellen DeGeneres Show, she explained: “So I got a DM from my boyfriend a year ago, and I had never seen it.”

‘I’m not sure what the Instagram malfunction was, but it never happened to me. A year later, at the height of quarantine, he DM’d me again; he shared a picture of me in an outfit, and I was like, “Oh, hi.” He fired his shot and slid into the DM.

Winnie previously dated Formula One star Lewis Hamilton, so their participation at the Grand Prix may be problematic.

Meanwhile, Anya’s debut in the event comes after she admitted to having no driver’s license prior to stunt driving in Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.

During an appearance on Lorraine with her co-star Chris Hemsworth, she stated, “They just threw me in the car and said you’re going to do this.” “Okay” was my response.

She said on how ‘wonderful’ it was ‘that the first thing I learned how to do in a car was’ the rigorous stunts she had to undertake for the film.

‘I’ve fallen in love with it; I want to acquire my regular driver’s license and my stunt driving license. It’s an awesome method to learn to drive.

Furiosa, a prequel to the 2015 blockbuster Fury Road, tells the story of Charlize Theron’s character, an avenging warrior who leads a tribe of women in a post-apocalyptic wasteland.

Anya plays Furiosa in the new film, telling the heartbreaking narrative of how she became a hardened, cruel killer.

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, directed by George Miller, the architect behind the whole Mad Max franchise, made its Cannes debut last week.

The film received an 86% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a six-minute standing ovation during its festival premiere.

While promoting the film, Anya recently disclosed that one extended 15-minute sequence took 78 days to shoot.

Meanwhile, Anya's appearance at the race comes after she confessed she had no driver's license before she had to stunt-drive for Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (pictured in film)

Speaking on The One Show, she said: “We shot it for 78 days, 78 days!” Yes. It’s named “Stowaway.” It was 100% the mountain we were all attempting to climb.

The fifth movie of the Mad Max saga takes place 15-20 years before Mad Max: Fury Road.

The summary reads: “Snatched from the Green Place of Many Mothers, Furiosa falls into the hands of a great biker horde led by the warlord Dementus.”

‘While sweeping across the Wasteland, they stumble find the Citadel, which is presided over by the Immortan Joe. As the two tyrants strive for power, Furiosa finds herself in a never-ending battle to get home.
