How Daisy Ridley Became The Newest Breakout Style Star

Star Wars: The Force Awakens is the talk of the town, so it’s no surprise that leading lady Daisy Ridley has been thrust into the spotlight. With seemingly no learning curve in sight, the actress has nailed her look on every red carpet she walks, donning confections from top labels Chanel, Dior and the like. Despite a relatively short tenure on the premiere scene thus far, she’s already established a fail-safe style formula. Ahead, we break down some of the key points of her best looks to date.

Fierce Florals
