The new Super Mario Bros. Movie is out, and with names like Chris Pratt, Jack Black, and Seth Rogen attached, the cast is stacked. Voicing our favorite video game princess, however, is fan-favorite Anya Taylor-Joy. From her breakthrough in The Witch to her more recent role in The Menu, Anya is best known for dramatic acting, making her role as Princess Peach an exciting and unexpected turn in her career.

 

Here are 10 moments that Anya Taylor-Joy was the perfect Peach!

 

1. When She Dressed as Princess Peach For Halloween

The obvious answer, but nevertheless true. She has on the perfect pink dress complete with the crown, but our favorite part is the black boots she pairs with it. Who says princesses can’t be badass?

 

2. When She Took Us Through Her Bag

To recap, Anya Taylor-Joy always carries a book to read, a journal, photos, a disposable camera, beauty supplies, snacks, tarot cards, and crystals. Also known as the perfect bag — she’s on a next level we all hope to achieve. Just her brush is gorgeous, and essential to keeping her crown-worthy mane intact.

 

 

 

3. When She Hosted "Saturday Night Live"

Poised and confident in that perfect blush-pink dress, Anya Taylor-Joy absolutely killed it hosting "SNL". Oscillating between English and then Spanish at the end, Anya proved her intelligence and worldliness yet again — so glamorous and regal.

 

 

 

4. When She Became The Face Of Flowerbomb

A very Princess Peach fragrance for our new Princess Peach, Anya Taylor-Joy wowed us in her partnership with Viktor & Rolf’s Flowerbomb. So dreamy!

 

5. When She Shined As Emma

Okay, so maybe she wasn’t a princess here, but she was a wealthy Regency Era girl with the best empire waist dresses and bonnets; so, close enough. Playing the titular character in Emma, Anya Taylor-Joy exceled as a Jane Austen heroine remade for the silver screen. 

 

 

 

6. When She Was a Woman of The Year

Named by Harper’s Bazaar as one of the Women of 2022, Anya Taylor-Joy gave major princess energy in her majestic, equine cover. The flowing red dress? The gleaming hair? Perfection. Even better is the recognition of her immense skill and star power.

 

7. When She Ordered a Cheeseburger In The Menu

Forget princess -- Anya Taylor-Joy was really a queen for this. We love a woman who makes sure she gets her meal’s worth — and who isn’t afraid to stand up to a man.

 

 

 

8. When She Slayed At Chess

One of her most notable roles, Anya Taylor-Joy gave an extraordinary performance as Beth Harmon in "The Queen’s Gambit". Being a princess requires a lot of strategy, like playing chess — Anya actually taught herself to play chess just for the role.

 

 

 

9. When She's an Animal Lover

Anya Taylor-Joy has various pictures of cats, dogs, and the occasional horse on her Instagram. It shows her gentle spirit and warm nature. Meet her newest family addition, Kitsune. So cute!

 

10. When She Voiced Princess Peach

Anya Taylor-Joy is a capable and intelligent woman, just like the characters she brings to life. She’s a number one on and off the screen — nobody is quite like her!
