# Daisy Edgar-Jones Turned a Jane Austen Premiere Into a Lingerie Moment > At the Sydney premiere of Sense and Sensibility, Daisy Edgar-Jones traded a corseted ballgown for something closer to visible lingerie, in a sheer Miu Miu look built on bow ties, lace-up detailing, and a diamond studded slip. - Source: GLAARA - Canonical URL: https://glaara.com/article/daisy-edgar-jones-naked-dress-sense-sensibility - Author: GLAARA Editorial - Section: Style - Published: 2026-10-01T18:50:00.000Z - Updated: 2026-10-01T18:50:00.000Z - Tags: Daisy Edgar-Jones, Miu Miu, Red Carpet, Naked Dress, Sense and Sensibility --- Daisy Edgar-Jones has been building a reputation for red carpet looks that flirt openly with lingerie, and the Sydney premiere of Sense and Sensibility gave her the most period appropriate excuse yet. She stepped out in a floor trailing Miu Miu gown that reimagined the corset, the garment most associated with Regency era restriction, as something closer to visible underwear, airy, sheer, and anything but buttoned up. ## The dress The bodice was built from a nude corset lined with vertical panels of multicolored sequins, laced up the front and finished with whisper thin straps tied into delicate bows at the shoulders, a detail that nodded to 1990s minimalist slip dressing more than anything out of a costume drama. Underneath it sat a sheer bedroom slip, embellished with clusters of diamond appliques, worn deliberately visible beneath the stays rather than hidden under layers the way a traditional corset gown would demand. The skirt trailed out behind her in sheer fabric as she walked the carpet, giving the whole silhouette a floating, undone quality that worked directly against the structure of the corset holding it together. ## A wink at the source material The choice carries an obvious irony for a premiere built around Jane Austen. Sense and Sensibility is a story steeped in the social rules and physical constraints that defined its era, corsetry included, and Edgar-Jones showed up wearing a modern descendant of that same garment stripped of its original purpose, worn to reveal rather than restrain. It is the kind of styling joke that only lands if the audience already knows the reference, and on a red carpet built to promote a Regency adaptation, it did. ## Part of a running pattern This was not an isolated red carpet swing. Edgar-Jones has increasingly used premiere appearances to work through variations on visible lingerie and sheer dressing, treating underwear as structural, visible wardrobe rather than something kept out of sight. The Sydney look, with its boudoir toned slip and off white bodysuit peeking through, fits squarely into that pattern, styled by Dani Michelle with hair by Bryce Scarlett and makeup by Jo Baker rounding out a look built for maximum visual contrast between old world shape and distinctly modern exposure. ## Why it worked What keeps a look like this from reading as a gimmick is restraint elsewhere, straight hair with a soft fringe, minimal makeup, no competing jewelry fighting for attention against the embellishment already doing the work. The dress got to be the loudest element in the frame because everything surrounding it stayed quiet, a reminder that a naked dress moment succeeds less because of how little fabric is involved and more because of how deliberately everything else gets dialed down around it. --- Originally published by GLAARA.
