Anya Taylor-Joy channels iconic Kill Bill character as she films new Apple TV series Lucky in LA

Anya Taylor-Joy channelled an iconic Kill Bill character as she filmed for her new Apple TV series Lucky in LA on Wednesday. 

The actress, 28, sported a platinum blonde, blunt cut bob, as Uma Thurman’s, the Bride, did in the Quentin Tarantino film. 

Arriving on set with her stunt double, Anya cut a cool figure in a black Caesars Palace bomber jacket which she layered over a white tank top and blue denim jeans. 

She completed her costumer with a pair of chunky boots and wore her short blonde tresses in waves.

The Golden Globe winner, who was recently seen filming with co-star Drew Starkey in Las Vegas, chatted to crew members ahead of filming. 

Meanwhile The Queen’s Gambit star’s stunt double wore her bobbed blonde tresses in loose waves making her look identical to Anya.

Unlike Anya the body double rocked an oversized blue shirt with the sleeves rolled up and a pair of blue skinny jeans.

Based on the New York Times bestselling novel of the same name the series follows Lucky (Anya) as she attempts to move on from a life of crime but is forced to embrace her darker, criminal side one final time in a desperate attempt to escape her past. 

Outer Banks actor Drew plays her husband Cary in the series.

Earlier this month, Drew gave Anya a piggyback as they filmed together in a Las Vegas casino.

He looked dapper in a navy suit as he carried around the actress, who swapped her usual blonde tresses for an auburn wig.

Anya looked incredible as she got into character in a backless sequinned gold mini dress and black boots.

Another scene saw the duo stand around a roulette table at the iconic Caesars Palace, as they were swarmed by film crews.

The series seems set to be packed full of drama as Drew ran across the busy room with Anya on his back as they got stuck into filming.

Filming began on the show in Las Vegas in February but has this week moved to Los Angeles amid a push to bring production to the City of Angels following the January wildfires.

Hailing from Apple Studios, Lucky is co-showrun, written and executive produced by Jonathan Tropper and Cᴀssie Pappas.

The series is executive produced by Reese Witherspoon and Lauren Neustadter for Hello Sunshine, a part of Candle Media.

As well as starring in the series, Anya serves as executive producer through her production banner Ladykiller.

Jonathan Van Tulleken will direct several episodes, including the pilot, and serve as executive producer. 

Additionally, Emmy Award-winner Greg Yaitanes and Jet Wilkinson will each direct two episodes.

It comes after Anya looked ethereal as she stepped out with her her husband Malcolm McRae at the SNL50: The Homecoming Concert in New York City last month. 

She looked incredible as she graced the Radio City Music Hall wearing a silk floor-length dress that featured an intricate floral design.

The star layered her elegant one-piece under a huge white fluffy coat, which she let droop down her arms as she was the picture of Hollywood glamour.

Anya slipped into a pair of towering silver strappy heels as she gave herself a few extra inches while posing up a storm on the red carpet.

To accessorise, the star kept it simple and wore a single gold snake earring and styled her luminous blonde locks into a stylish up-do.

Anya was joined by her husband Malcolm and they put on a very loved-up display for the cameras as they celebrated Valentine’s Day at the star-studded affair.

Anya and musician Malcolm secretly tied the knot in New Orleans in April 2022 and the actress gushed over her spouse on The Drew Barrymore Show earlier this week.

‘I love him so much,’ she told host Drew when she asked about her partner. ‘Oh yeah, he’s, I’m very, I’m so lucky. I’m so lucky.’
