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.

Black-Tie Dress Code: What to wear to a black-tie event
There aren't many occasions that require a black-tie dress code – unless you frequent charity galas, red carpets, and formal weddings – so when the opportunity arises, you might be wondering what on earth you're supposed to wear. But fret not, I've got you. Not to be confused with a white-tie dress code, which is even more formal, or cocktail attire, which is less formal; at a black-tie event you're expected to wear a floor-length gown, sharp tailoring, or midi-length cocktail dress. Black-tie might seem like an investment, but it doesn't have to break the bank because when it comes to elegance, less is truly more. Although you can have a bit more fun with cocktail attire since there aren't restrictions on hemlines, modesty, or embellishments, black-tie dressing is way more straight-forward and a simple slip dress or sleek suit will have you feeling like a million bucks no matter what your budget looks like. The only thing I would avoid wearing is statement prints – like florals, polka dots, or stripes – as, depending on how it's styled, can come across a bit too casual for a formal, black-tie event. But, that doesn't mean your only option is minimalism, as a bold colour-block look can make a statement while still fitting the dress code. It's one thing to explain what black-tie dressing is, but a totally other thing to see it in action. So, I've found five, fail-safe outfit formulas that are black-tie approved and super easy to replicate with pieces from our favourite high street brands. A white dress with chunky jewels is an elegant take on black-tie dressing. I love this Gucci gown worn by Daisy Edgar-Jones at the premiere of Twisters. It's minimal without being boring because of the asymmetric neckline and cut-out in the back, which also makes it subtly sexy. Wear yours with gold jewellery to add warmth to the ivory hue and complete the look with strappy sandals. Although I would steer clear of this look as a wedding guest, it makes a chic bridal option for a civil ceremony, welcome drinks, or reception. A strapless gown is ideal for showing off a sparkling, statement necklace as demonstrated by Simone Ashley's beautiful crimson-red Giorgio Armani look for the Bones and All premiere at Venice Film Festival. Gold jewels can be overpowering with a red gown since it's such a statement colour, so I'd suggest adorning your neckline with silver or white gold jewellery paired with diamond earrings and a cocktail ring. To really take your styling to the next level, wear your hair in an up-do to create the illusion of an lengthened silhouette. It's no surprise that an LBD (long black dress) is essential for your black-tie arsenal and your capsule wardrobe – and who better to show us how it's done than the queen of the red carpet Zendaya? Wearing a vintage, black slip dress from Mugler's 1995 collection for the London premiere of Dune: Part Two, the A-lister embraced minimal elegance by accessorising with glistening, statement earrings and a cocktail ring. As for shoes, black heels are all you need while an embellished evening bag adds sparkle. If you fancy taking it up a notch, slick on a bold, red lip. When it comes to the black-tie dress code, a dress isn't your only option. Hailey Bieber attended a private dinner party wearing this Saint Laurent suit and she couldn't look cooler. It's a much more relaxed fit than YSL's iconic Le Smoking tuxedo, which gives it a truly effortless feel while still being polished. Finish the look with pointed-toe pumps to add structure to the louche silhouette. Whether it's designer or high-street, you can't go wrong with a slip dress when attending a black-tie event. Take note from Anya Taylor-Joy's archival Christian Dior dress at the 2025 Golden Globes. Designed by John Galliano for Dior's spring 1998 collection, Taylor-Joy finished the look with a matching shawl – a smart move in case the temperature drops – strappy sandals and a statement floral necklace. This outfit combo is ideal for attending a spring or summer wedding. Follow Kara on Instagram Kara is the Ecommerce Editor, Women's Lifestyle at Hearst UK.
