Daisy Edgar-Jones was the epitome of style as she attended UTA’s star-studded pre-Met Gala at The Ritz Carlton New York on Sunday evening.

Daisy’s dress featured racy lace panels and she completed the look with chic black heels and a matching clutch.
This year’s sponsors Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos have faced backlash due to the billionaire couple’s involvement as honorary co-chairs for fashion’s biggest night, which is set to take place on Monday.
Posters have been put up around Manhattan ahead of fashion’s biggest night which read: ‘Boycott The Bezos Met Gala.’
However, former Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour previously defended the couple’s involvement in the annual fundraiser.

‘I think Lauren is going to be a wonderful asset to the museum and to the event,’ she told CNN last year in November.
Meanwhile Kim Kardashian is said to be stealing another slice of fashion history at Monday evening’s Met Gala – this time in the form of royalty.
Tongues are wagging that four years after the reality star, 45, damaged Marilyn Monroe’s iconic ‘Happy Birthday Mr President’ gown, she has now acquired the late Princess Diana’s 1994 ‘Revenge Dress’.
The Revenge Dress was an evening gown worn by Diana to a 1994 dinner in Kensington and was interpreted as being worn for revenge after the televised admission of adultery by her husband King Charles – then Prince of Wales.
The Christina Stambolian-designed dress is owned by a private Scottish collector, Graeme Mackenzie, who purchased the gown at a 1997 auction for over $74k, and is kept in a bank vault to preserve, rather than being on permanent public display.
On Good Morning Britain on Monday morning, entertainment correspondent Rishi Davda added to the speculation, saying: ‘If rumours are to be believed, she is hiring another iconic frock – none other than Princess Diana’s 1994 revenge dress.’

One X user wrote: ‘So Kim is reportedly trying to acquire Diana’s “revenge dress.” After destroying the look of Marilyn’s dress! Kim u can wear an iconic dress, but u can’t replicate the presence, context, or legacy that made it unforgettable’.
Anger over the use of a historic garment comes after she wore Marilyn’s dress, which was famously worn by the Some Like It Hot actress when she sang happy birthday to then-President John F. Kennedy in 1962.
Kim faced backlash once again for allegedly ‘damaging’ the dress with videos and images emerging claiming to show rips and tears to the gown after the star wore the delicate and bedazzled gown to the 2022 Met Gala.
A video claimed to show the dress on display at Ripley’s Believe It or Not! in Hollywood, following Kim borrowing the gown.
The clip shows the dress on a mannequin inside a glass display case and features close-up footage of the back right strap, which has a visible tear in it.
Marilyn fans claimed the damage was sustained as a result of the dress being transported to New York and then worn by Kim on the red carpet.
Instagram user Darrell Rooney shared the video and said ‘Notice the damage to the right strap in the back of Marilyn Monroe’s 1962 gown’.
In another post highlighting the stretched fabric, he wrote: ‘Look at the damage caused by KK. Irreversible. Marilyn Monroe’s 1962 gown has multiple tatters now.’
