Daisy Edgar-Jones Brought Old-World Romance to the Carpet
Daisy, who plays eldest sister Elinor Dashwood, wore a custom champagne silk gown by longtime collaborator Vivienne Westwood, featuring a plunging neckline, bow-tied straps and a thigh-high slit.

Esmé Creed-Miles Went Bold in Black and White
Esmé, who plays the passionate Marianne Dashwood, contrasted Daisy’s romantic gown with a bold white skirt and cropped black blazer.
The two co-stars posed hand-in-hand on the carpet, a sweet nod to their onscreen sisterhood.
The Full Cast Came Out to Celebrate
George MacKay, Herbert Nordrum, Fiona Shaw, Frank Dillane and Bodhi Rae Breathnach all joined their co-stars for the London celebration.
The group posed together for a cast photo as guests and photographers circled, capping off a night full of playful energy and onscreen chemistry spilling into real life.
What the Movie’s All About
Directed by Georgia Oakley from a script by Diana Reid, the film follows sisters Elinor and Marianne Dashwood as they navigate love, loss and financial uncertainty after being forced to leave their family estate.
It’s the first new big-screen adaptation of Austen’s debut novel since Ang Lee’s beloved 1995 version starring Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet.
The Final Trailer Just Dropped
Focus Features released the second and final official trailer on Sep. 30, offering the best look yet at the film ahead of its American release.
The new trailer leans further into the central contrast between the sisters. Elinor works to keep her emotions under control (sense), while Marianne follows her heart more openly (sensibility).
It also gives a clearer look at Marianne’s romantic entanglements, following her passionate connection to Willoughby alongside Herbert Nordrum’s Colonel Brandon, who becomes another important presence in her life.
