Daisy Edgar-Jones Goes London Cool Girl Next Door at Met Gala 2026
Much like a primary love, everybody remembers their first Met Gala. For Daisy Edgar-Jones, three issues stood out throughout her first Met appearance in 2022: how she felt (“I was excited to take it all in”); Sarah Jessica Parker’s veiled fascinator by famed milliner Phillip Treacy (“the wildest and coolest thing”); and mis-timing her arrival with a trusted buddy.
“I arrived at the carpet really early and wanted to meet my friend there so we could walk in together, but he was running late,” Edgar-Jones says, laughing, on the Sunday earlier than the First Monday in May. “So I ended up sort of standing at the entrance like I was welcoming people into the Met.”
Today, the Twisters star is making her third look at the 2026 Met Gala—knowledgeable, virtually!—and her pleasure for fashion’s biggest night continues to be palpable. Edgar-Jones and her stylist, Dani Michellespent months sending references of corsets and bodices to one another, making an attempt to determine precisely the best way to honor a woman’s body in a approach that felt inventive and elevated. McQueendesigned by Seán McGirr, felt just like the pure option to do all of these issues.
“They’re so iconic,” Edgar-Jones says of the storied vogue home. “They’re really good with that tension between beauty and destruction. This design explores [the idea that] “structure and fragility can coexist.” Made of ivory silk georgette and floral heritage lace, the actor’s custom-made McQueen fall/winter 2026 sculpted dress is embellished with intricate three-dimensional Lyon lace appliqué and a stunning shredded tulle Banshee embroidery. Edgar-Jones describes it as “rough” and “undone” ripped fabric that perfectly sums up the theme. “It just felt like it really honored this idea of costume, art, and fashion,” she says. To finish out the look, she wears jewels from Boucheron—the Laurel earrings, the Silhouette bracelet, and the Silhouette brooch, to be exact—as the key pieces.
Estee Lauder
When it got here to magnificence to match the vibe, solely her longtime glam group of Jo Baker and Bryce Scarlett—together with a more moderen addition of Estée Lauder merchandise, the place Edgar-Jones is a spokesperson—would do. “We wanted to keep an air of London cool-girl-next-door who threw on a dress and didn’t really think about her makeup,” Baker tells Vogue. “Instead of being overly polished or overly precise, we went for classic and cool.”
Baker makes use of yet-to-be-released Estée Lauder’s new Essential Eyeshadow Stick in Sugar Plum (a smooth taupe shade coming in June) for hollowed-out, moody eyes. To get that uncooked, girl-next-door really feel for the pores and skin, she makes use of the ORA Method LED Guasha to sculpt the cheeks and a combo of the Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess 01 Bronzing Power and the Futurist BlushMaker Dewy Cheek Tints in Stolen Glance and Skinny Dip for a natural-looking flush.
