Lead stars Daisy Ridley and John Boyega led the star-studded arrivals at the Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker premiere at Cineworld in Leicester Square, London, on Wednesday evening, the Daily Mail reports.

The actress, 27, who plays the formidable Rey in the franchise, pulled out all of the stops for her turn on the red carpet, as she ensured all eyes were on her as she posed for snaps at the highly-anticipated screening.

The star opted for a structured navy velvet corset style dress which highlighted her svelte physique with its figure-hugging style, while also boasting a dramatic following skirt attached around the waist.

She styled her ensemble with a pair of black satin stilettos and otherwise accessorised the look with a selection of costume jeweller, including a plethora of chunky silver and jewel rings.

Daisy wore her brunette tresses swept back off her pretty features into cool slicked back style, while opting for a glamorous coat of make-up including a subtle grey smokey-eye look and a slick of plum lipstick.

Standing beside her on the red carpet, John referenced his Nigerian heritage in a stunning blue ensemble with gold detailing as he opted for traditional dress for his appearance at the premiere.

Marking his return to the franchise following a 30 year absence was Billy Dee Williams, who is best known for his role of Lando Calrissian which he has revived for the final instalment of the story.
