Star Wars Leather
The Force is strong with the bright new stars from the latest installment of the Star Wars series. Up-and-coming actress Daisy Ridley, plays the lead heroine as Rey, co-starring with John Boyega as ex-Stormtrooper Finn and Oscar Isaac as the pilot Poe Dameron in The Force Awakens. If you haven’t heard of Daisy Ridley, it won’t be for long. At a recent charity event ‘Force 4 Fashion’ in New York City, Ridley looked stunning in a white shift dress, featuring an edgy zippered detail contrasted by delicate organza sleeves. During the press events, Daisy has been spotted wearing clean and classic pieces with a quirky twist. The 23 year old looked chic as can be with her chrome tipped ankle strap heels. Perhaps these were an unconscious nod towards Gwendoline Christie’s ultra baddie, the chrome plated Captain Phasma. At the London premiere of The Force Awakens, the starlet dazzled in a shimmery open back dress. While large cut outs and a long zipper certainly give this dress a daring appeal, a little bling in the form of shiny crystals keeps things looking feminine and chic. Living out a dream, Daisy looked overjoyed to be in her hometown, surrounded by Star Wars fans.
Wearing coveted leather looks, Daisy and John were recently featured in the December issue of ASOS Magazine. Looking super sleek, Ridley rocked a ultra chic oxblood leather mini skirt. Her lustworthy jacket came equipped with contrasting fabrics, mixing faux fur with supple leather pockets and sleeves. The pair modeled festive, holiday party ready looks, and John looked exceptionally dapper in a tough paneled jacket. The two were also interviewed by the Hollywood Reporter, where Daisy took on a retro-inspired shoot, evoking a glamorous starlet from the forties. An absolute vision, Ridley shined in a one shoulder dress in light pink, accessorized with a gold metal belt cinched at the waist.
This British it-girl is certainly one to watch. The supernova landed on the cover of December 2015 ELLE Magazine. In a series of images shot in New York, Daisy looked stunning yet fierce in a red leather look from Alexandre Vauthier. With a big toothy grin, Ridley shined in a recent cover shot for the January 2016 issue of Glamour UK. She looked elegant in a camel colored faux leather blazer, complete with a flirty peplum detailing.
The leading men of Star Wars are certainly no stranger to leather, either. At the Los Angeles premiere of The Force Awakens, John Boyega rocked a single black leather glove in homage to the iconic look from Luke Skywalker in the original series. In a recent article for the New York Times, Boyega was snapped wearing a tough and on-trend leather motorcycle jacket. The 23 year old actor also hails from London, like Daisy, and has been spotted wearing various iterations of leather bomber jackets to many press events. At Comic Con 2015, John wore a bold red zippered jacket and for the Star Wars Celebration event, he opted for a classic black look. At The Force Awakens premiere in Mexico, the dashing Guatemalan actor Oscar Isaac wore a leather varsity-inspired jacket. In The Force Awakens, both characters wear a military grade flight jacket in brown leather. Feeling inspired by all of this intergalactic leather fashion? Order faux leather fabric from MJTrends and create a look of your own.
