A remake of the classic Jane Austin story arrives in theaters on October 28, and lead actress Daisy Edgar-Jones stuns on press tours with period-style looks.

Jane Austen novels continue to resonate with audiences to this day because of their themes on, but not limited to, moral growth, social class, economic security, gender roles, love, familial responsibilities, marriage—and, of course, sisterhood. Sense and Sensibility centers on the different journeys the two eldest sisters, Elinor and Marianne Dashwood, take in exploring love, reason, and the realities of life.&nbsp;
Despite the fact the novel goes way back during the English regency period, it remains a classic read or watch when one is in need of a bittersweet, but tender story. Although previous screen adaptations have made their mark, Focus Features and Working Title Films brings us a 2026 retelling, with Daisy Edgar-Jones as the leading actress and face of the project, playing the prudent yet sensitive Elinor Dashwood.&nbsp;
The film is set to be released in the Philippines on October 28th, however it had already been released last September 25, 2026 in the United Kingdom, following a staggered international release schedule. So far, the actress had visited London, Ireland, Germany, Australia, and Los Angeles.
That said, Edgar-Jones did not let the opportunity slip by during the press tour, taking the chance to embody her character on the carpet with period-inspired ensembles. She was dressed by stylist Dani Michelle throughout the stops, ensuring that each and every lace, silk, corsetry, and floral gave a nod to Miss Dashwood.

During the London premiere, the actress stepped out in a custom champagne silk Vivienne Westwood dress, with a silhouette loosely resembling that of a corset dress. While Regency corsetry tends to emphasize an upward bust lift through empire bodices, this modern take snatches the waist perfectly, shows off her chest elegantly with a deep-plunge neckline, and exposes the actress’ luminous arms and legs. Adding a contemporary twist to it, the asymmetrical hem and a subtle train command a second glance. A soft, ethereal glam look, metallic Aquazzura heels, and a statement pendant ribbon necklace featuring a Boucheron locket harmoniously round out the ensemble with an elegant, chic finish.

Moreover, Edgar-Jones confidently took on the ‘naked dress’ trend during a special screening of the film at the Whitely. In a see-through dress with black lace design and bubblegum pink underwear underneath from Shushu/Tong, it is a contemporary mix of unabashed playfulness and femininity.&nbsp;

On September 17, Ireland got a pure, angelic look with feathered sleeves and a white silk bias-cut gown from Stella McCartney. Edgar-Jones wore Bourcheron ear climbers designed as silver feathers, with pear-shaped pearls hanging from each, complementing the gown’s ethereal silhouette.
For this look, the actress showcased her bangs for the hairstyle, while retaining the soft, glowy makeup.

Not moving away from the metallics in Berlin, she wore a silky Giorgio Armani silver gown with tasseled and beaded see-through sleeves from the 2005 house’s private collection. The Boucheron silver jewelry with diamonds remains a must in her whole ensemble, elevating the look with sparkling details.&nbsp;

The first of October is spent in Sydney with pin-straight hair, fringe out, wearing an ivory Miu Miu silver-beaded corseted gown, with a sheer skirt. The thin ribbon sleeves express enough delicateness to the look, adding an almost innocent, romantic feel to the styling. No accessories made it to the actress’ appearance, so as not to draw attention away from the beauty of the bodice. With a more pronounced yet still soft brown smokey eye, just the right amount of quiet allure comes through her makeup.

Sourced by Raffe Vintage, Edgar-Jones brought out vintage pieces from Chloé’s 1999 collection, originally designed by Stella McCartney. I
t is a simpler, cleaner look—with a luminous silk ivory corset top, sheer beige floral cape, and a lavender silk long skirt. Lavender was apparently at the center of Michelle’s mood board in preparation for the tour as Edgar-Jones hoped to honor Elinor’s costumes. Ultimately, its effortless grace, sophistication, and femininity shine all the more because of its restrained presence.&nbsp;

Other outfits Edgar-Jones wore during the press tour were much more casual and relaxed, merely echoing the silhouettes and elements of Regency fashion. The actress wore simple white denim jeans paired with a muted lavender, striped, off-the-shoulder frilly top. She also sported a lacy white sheer crop top and a long red skirt.

When she was visiting BBC Radio 1 at London, the actress also kept it simple with relaxed denim jeans and a regal, braid-trimmed ivory jacket, subtly covered in jacquard-like sheen. At BBC Studios, she then wore a nude sleeveless dress, in which the upper half hugs her body flatteringly, with a satin beige skirt with sculptural draping, gathered ruching, and an asymmetric wrap-style silhouette.
With these, it is evident that a look does not have to be luxurious or flashy to be considered fashionable, as subtle nods to a particular era can be just as effective in capturing its charm.
