The Queen’s Gambit star Anya Taylor-Joy shows off stunning figure in black hotpants

ACTRESS Anya Taylor-Joy delivers a shorts sharp shock in a pair of tiny black hotpants.

Anya, 28 — who became a household name thanks to her leading role in ­Netflix series The Queen’s Gambit — completed her look with a silver cardigan and a pair of black strappy heels.

She was in France for a screening of her new movie, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, at the Cannes Film Festival.

The film, the fifth in the Mad Max franchise, also stars Avengers actor Chris Hemsworth.

It has its UK premiere in London’s South Bank tomorrow.

Last year she confirmed there will a second season of Netflix hit The Queen's Gambit following a string of shocking cuts.

Fans of the historical-drama had been waiting patiently for an update

In a now deleted tweet, lead actress Anya wrote: "The Queen's Gambit Season 2."

This sent fans wild, as they believed this meant season two was approaching.

Sadly, the tweet was quickly deleted after 10 minutes - and fans of the show were left baffled.

But it looks like there won't be a second instalment anytime soon.
