Daisy Edgar-Jones wows in minidress as she celebrates first major stage role

Normal People star Daisy Edgar-Jones is currently playing Maggie in Tennessee Williams' hit play Cat on a Hot Tin Roof at the Almeida Theatre in London

Daisy Edgar-Jones had the attention of the entire room as she took to the stage in her first major stage role.

The Normal People actress is currently playing Maggie in Tennessee Williams’ psycho drama Cat on a Hot Tin Roof at the Almeida Theatre in London. Daisy is in the West End production alongside Kingsley Ben-Adir - who is known for his leading role in Bob Marley: One Love.

On stage, Daisy looked out of this world in a silver floor-length slip dress. Her hair is styled into loose waves and she added a pop of colour with a classic red lipstick. The 1955 three-act play is set in the 'plantation home in the Mississippi Delta' of Big Daddy Pollitt, a wealthy cotton tycoon. The play explores the relationships in Big Daddy's family, especially between his son Brick and Maggie, Brick's wife.

On the Cat on a Hot Tin Roof press night party, the 26-year-old Twisters star had all eyes on her as she donned Victoria Beckham’s Draped Tuck bold emerald green mini dress from the singer's SS25 collection. The dress featured chiffon layers and was a perfect match with her simple makeup.

She attended the bash at the theatre rocking nude open-toed heels and red nails as she stopped to pose for photos. Inside the event, she was seen hanging out with co-star Kingsley. She also chatted to Cat on a Hot Tin Roof co-star Clare Burt and I May Destroy You actress Pearl Chanda.

Daisy has already earned both BAFTA and Golden Globe nominations - and her success in the industry is somewhat familiar to her father, Philip, who is Head of Entertainment at Sky and director of Sky Arts. The Under the Banner of Heaven actress previously revealed that her dad’s role on Big Brother gave him “really good insight” into sudden fame and that he had even given her the “talk of doom”, explaining to her what to expect if she reached the top.

Speaking to Porter back in 2020, Daisy said: “My dad had a really good insight into handling some form of spotlight. He gave me the ‘talk of doom’, he called it, which was something they used to do to Big Brother contestants, where they’d give you a talk on what fame was like.”

She added: “He was good at [saying], ‘Keep your head screwed on, keep your feet on the floor, don’t get too swept up in something; you’re still you, you haven’t changed, even if people around you might.’”
