Daisy Edgar-Jones looks totally different in throwback snap as star turns 27
Fans have noticed that Daisy Edgar-Jones, who celebrates her 27th birthday today, is looking completely different these days - and is almost unrecognisable in a throwback snap from January 2020 when she was in her early 20s
Daisy Edgar-Jones, best known for her roles in Normal People and Where the Crawdads Sing, turns 27 today (May 24). She first burst onto the scene in Cold Feet and War of the Worlds, and has had an illustrious career since. She has an Instagram following of almost three million fans.
The glamorous actress, from London, is no stranger to posting stunning snaps on social media. But in a picture of her from five years ago, she looks totally different, and fans can't get enough. Back in 2020, she posted a photo captioned: "Vanity Fair Bafta Rising Star Party," and Daisy looks like a different person.
The photo was posted to her Instagram in January of that year, just before the Covid pandemic.
Sporting cropped brunette hair and wearing a silky pink gown with a sweet floral pattern across the bust, she looked youthful and adorable, and received many comments complimenting her at the time she posted it.
"I love this photo, you look stunning," one fan penned, with another adding: "Bleeeeedin hell here she is," followed by fire emojis.
People even called her "magic" thanks to her natural beauty.
Now, Daisy sports a more mature look, opting for longer hair and even more pared-back, fashionable clothing. During a recent trip to Cannes, she sported a black figure-hugging bandeau dress with embellishments all over it as she smiled for the cameras.
But what fans were more obsessed with was the fact that she was seen with Normal People co-star Paul Mescal. While the pair have always maintained that they are friends, some fans have always hoped the pair might share a romantic bond.
Someone wrote: "The way Paul & Daisy always have the biggest smile when they're together".
"He's never going to beat the allegations," another added, but a fan responded: "This is just a picture," suggesting that it didn't actually mean anything that the pair had been photographed together.
The pair have spoken about their relationship several times. They have always maintained that they share a close friendship, with Daisy saying Paul is one of her "lifetime best friends," and that she loves him platonically.
Paul Mescal is currently dating singer and songwriter Gracie Abrams, who made headlines when she joined Taylor Swift's Eras Tour as an opening act in 2023 and 2024.
She then released the song 'That's So True,' which went on to become a viral sound on TikTok thanks to hundreds of thousands of people using it in their videos.
Daisy is also in a happy relationship with her partner, photographer Ben Seed. They were first publicly seen together during an outing in London, where they were photographed embracing, kissing, and holding hands in 2023.

The actress and singer - who formed a blossoming connection with ITV Racing pundit Chris, 32, in Celebrity Big Brother this year - has now opened up on the "genuine" nature of their bond. She said: "People can see our chemistry, and they got to see it develop "I think everyone's just curious, and I can't blame them." Clarifying the pair's exact relationship status she told The Guardian: "It's not platonic any more, and it's been a beautiful development, a beautiful connection, and I'm absolutely head over heels for him and he's the same way." She added: "I won't ever speak for him, but for me personally, the happiness in my life just radiates off of me right now. "Literally yesterday, I was massaging my cheeks; I've never been in pain from smiling so much." SHOCK SPLIT The Boomerang songstress was dating partner Kath Ebbs when she stepped foot in the ITV spy house. Yet Kath, 27, revealed they had been dumped by the US TV alum during the wrap party for the reality series. Watch as JoJo Siwa makes Chris Hughes blush with cute tribute as he proudly watches her perform in London Taking to Instagram at the time, Australian content creator Kath, said they were in "complete shock" and felt "numbed out and humiliated" after being dumped by JoJo. Yet she has now told how she is "preserving her piece" - and not hitting back at her former partner's social media post. After revealing she was no longer a lesbian in the CBB compound during the show's live stream she said she now wants to identify as queer. During a private chat in the bedroom, she confessed: "I feel so queer,", as co-star Danny then responded: "I'm queer!" JoJo Siwa and Kath Ebbs' relationship We look back at JoJo Siwa's romance with Kath Ebbs: JoJo Siwa went public with hers and Kath Ebbs' relationship in January 2025. The Dance Moms star had been introduced to 27-year-old Australian content creator Kath by a mutual friend called G-Flip six months earlier. JoJo had split with her girlfriend Dakayla Wilson in November 2024 and it is believed she hooked up romantically with Kath soon after. Speaking in March at the 36th Annual GLAAD Media Awards, JoJo said of her relationship: 'I am so happy. I am in a very mature relationship, and it's beautiful. It's taught me so much about life. 'It's taught me so much about love and respect, and it's a beautiful thing. 'It's different in more ways than I can count. I wouldn't even know what to say the biggest is 'cause just everything is so different and special.' Kath even claimed they had talked about marriage together. However, JoJo's romance with Kath abruptly hit the skids on April 25, 2025, at the Celebrity Big Brother wrap party. JoJo dumped Kath at the bash after spending 19 days in the CBB house - where she had grown close to Love Island star Chris Hughes. In her new interview, she told how the phrase "encompasses how I am, and who I am." She added: "I do live this very, very big public life that has so many eyeballs on it, and it can get really hard to navigate. "But I'm also living a human life. You can't help who you love." The term queer is defined by LGBTQ charity Stonewall as "a term used by those wanting to reject specific labels of sexual orientation and/or gender identity". JoJo's sexuality was already a subject of conversation on CBB when American actor Mickey Rourke made a homophobic slur when talking to her earlier on in the series. 6 The pair have been packing on the PDA since their time in the CBB compound Credit: Snapchat 6 She is 'protecting her peace' amid her split with Kath Ebbs Credit: Getty

These showbiz mums-to-be will soon be hearing the pitter patter of tiny feet... Liz McClarnon Atomic Kitten star Liz had her followers in tears when she announced that after 'dark times' and 'painful IVF', she is welcoming a baby into her family. The singer shared a clip on Instagram of herself sitting in a sunny garden – then she stood up and turned to show off her baby bump. Liz said, 'I'm pregnant!' before adding,'We feel like we've been given the world!' The 44-year-old said she wants to 'help others' after IVF and 'loss'. Poppy Delevinge Model Poppy is another glowing mum-to-be, preparing to welcome her first child. While she said she is 'in awe' of her pregnant body, she also joked she might be one of the 'worst dressers' when it comes to picking out pregnancy outfits. She announced her pregnancy with Archie Keswick in January, later revealing they're expecting a baby girl. She told ELLE magazine, 'She really is all I've ever wanted.' Poppy said her sisters Cara and Chloe couldn't wait to become aunties, joking that her baby would be another addition to the Delevingne 'tribe'. Rihanna Fans were delighted to see Rihanna, 37, rocking her baby bump on the star-studded Met Gala blue carpet in May. The singer is already a proud mum to two sons, RZA, two, and Riot, 21 months, with rapper A$AP Rocky. Rihanna is known for her high-profile pregnancy announcements after she debuted her second pregnancy while performing at the Super Bowl half-time show in 2023, but she prefers to keep her family life out of the spotlight. Vick Hope BBC Radio 1 presenter Vick and her husband Calvin Harris waited for months before revealing they are expecting their first child. They kept the details quiet until Vick announced on the radio that she was about to go on maternity leave, saying they'd been 'enjoying this privately and quietly'. Vick then showed off her growing baby bump in a fitted maxi dress at Radio 1's Big Weekend. Georgia Harrison Celebrity SAS winner Georgia and her partner Jack Stacey are preparing to become first-time parents. Ten months after their first date, the budding parents are delighted to be growing their family, describing their pregnancy as a 'beautiful surprise'. Georgia exclusively told OK!, 'When you know, you know. I know it's cringey but that's definitely how we feel. Anyone who knows us knows how strong we are and how happy we make each other.' The former Love Island star emphasised that while some people might say it's 'too soon' to start a family, the couple 'couldn't be happier'. Fans showed their support for Georgia and said she will be the 'best mama'. Zahida Allen Geordie Shore star Zahida, 30, delighted her fans with a surprise summer pregnancy announcement – in the same month that she's due to give birth! The reality TV star is just days away from welcoming her first baby.
