Anya Taylor-Joy Settles The Side Part Debate At The Golden Globes

Amid a long evening of glitches, awkward transitions, some great fashion and a lot of talk about the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s lack of diversity, actor Anya Taylor-Joy provided, well, a bit of joy.

Our first sighting of the Golden Globe nominee for “The Queen’s Gambit” and “Emma” came on her stylist Law Roach’s Instagram account. Wearing a plunging emerald green custom Dior Couture gown, Taylor-Joy showed off something else surprising: her hair in a dramatic side part.

And yet here Taylor-Joy is not only making a case for side parts but essentially ending the debate with this chic ’do by Gregory Russell.

Of course, we’d guess there was less strategy here than, say, during a chess game. But her side part is equal parts stylish and a sigh of relief for those still accustomed to life on the side (part).
