While the film marked the end of the Skywalker Saga, the London premiere also highlighted the franchise’s long-running connection to dramatic red-carpet fashion and standout footwear.
Daisy Ridley balanced classic Vivienne Westwood corsetry with a cleaner modern silhouette, while her custom vegan Jimmy Choo pumps continued the sustainable footwear direction she introduced earlier that week at the Los Angeles premiere.
Co-star John Boyega also stood out in a traditional Nigerian Agbada with a matching Fila hat, adding a more personal dimension to the premiere’s formal dress code.
