Daisy Ridley cut an edgy figure as she graced the red carpet for the world premiere of her movie We Bury The ᴅᴇᴀᴅ premiere at SXSW in Texas on Sunday.

The British actress, 32, looked incredible in a plunging black dress which teased a hint of cleavage and hugged every inch of her jaw-dropping figure.

Daisy’s gown also boasted mesh sleeves and she completed the eye-catching look with a pair of pointed heels.

The Star Wars star forwent a necklace to let her outfit speak for itself, opting instead for a pair of dazzling diamond earrings. 

Daisy accentuated her dainty features with flawless make-up and styled her shoulder length tresses into loose waves. 

Earlier in the day the stunner wore a sleeveless collared LBD, dark pantyhose, and matching pumps while promoting the movie.

She was joined at the Shutterstock Portrait Studio by her We Bury the ᴅᴇᴀᴅ director Zak Hilditch and her co-star Mark Coles Smith, who plays Riley in the film.

Daisy plays Ava, a desperate woman who joins a ‘body retrieval unit’ in the hopes of finding her husband alive, in the emotional Tasmania-set zombie thriller We Bury The Bodies. 

She is also set to star in Martin Campbell’s action thriller Dedication as well as reprising her breakout role as Rey ‘Skywalker’ in Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy’s 2026 continuation Star Wars: New Jedi Order.

‘The first three films, we did fairly close together in the grand scheme of things. So one of the things is: Do I remember how to be Rey?’ she told Back Stage last week.

‘It’s been a while, and time has pᴀssed in [the Star Wars] world. So there are a lot of questions about what has happened in that time, both for me and for the character; that in and of itself feels like a challenge.

‘And then there’s the fact that I’ll be working with different actors and different filmmakers, which brings up different things. And that is always progressive, I suppose, because it’s someone else’s interpretation.’

Last month Daisy’s staggering earnings have been revealed on Tuesday despite her not appearing in a Star Wars film since 2019. 

She rose to fame in 2015 portraying Rey in the Star Wars sequel trilogy films The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, and The Rise of Skywalker.

Now The Daily Mail’s Richard Eden has disclosed that Daisy has accumulated profits of almost £14 million for the business through which she channels her earnings.

She set up Fawks Ltd in 2015, the year she first starred in Star Wars and last May reported a £730,000 profit for the year.

There is no salary disclosed for Daisy, who used to pull pints before getting her big acting break.

She grew up in London’s Maida Vale with her pH๏τographer father, Christopher Ridley, and banker mother, Louise Fawkner-Corbett.

After her breakthrough role in Star Wars, Daisy co-starred in the film Chaos Walking in 2021 opposite Tom Holland. 

She has also leant her voice for animated film Peter Rabbit in 2018 and the video game Twelve Minutes in 2021. 

Returning to science fiction films, Daisy had leading roles in Chaos Walking in 2021, independent drama Sometimes I Think About Dying in 2023, and psychological thriller The Marsh King’s Daughter in 2023. 

Last year she also portrayed Gertrude Ederle in the biographical drama Young Woman and the Sea.

Daisy is now married to husband Tom Bateman, who she stared dating in 2017 and sparked engagement rumours when he was spotted with a ring on his wedding finger in 2019.
