Daisy Ridley and John Boyega lead arrivals at Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker premiere in London

Lead stars Daisy Ridley and John Boyega led the star-studded arrivals at the Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker premiere at Cineworld in Leicester Square, London, on Wednesday evening.

The actress, 27, who plays the formidable Rey in the franchise, pulled out all of the stops for her turn on the red carpet, as she ensured all eyes were on her as she posed for snaps at the highly-anticipated screening.

The star opted for a structured navy velvet corset style dress which highlighted her svelte physique with its figure-hugging style, while also boasting a dramatic following skirt attached around the waist.

She styled her ensemble with a pair of black satin stilettos and otherwise accessorised the look with a selection of costume jeweller, including a plethora of chunky silver and jewel rings.

Daisy wore her brunette tresses swept back off her pretty features into a neat chignon, while opting for a glamorous coat of make-up including a subtle grey smokey-eye look and a slick of plum lipstick.

Standing beside her on the red carpet, John referenced his Nigerian heritage in a stunning blue ensemble with gold detailing as he opted for traditional dress for his appearance at the premiere.

Marking his return to the franchise following a 30 year absence was Billy Dee Williams, who is best known for his role of Lando Calrissian which he has revived for the final instalment of the story.

Billy cut a dapper figure in a grey velvet blazer teamed with a pair of smart cream chinos and a plush neck scarf in the same hue as his opulent jacket.  

Teasers from the new film hinted that Warrick Davis may also reprise his role of Wicket the Ewok, and judging by his appearance at the premiere it seems that he is likely to appear in the movie.

Elsewhere at the event, Keri Russell, who plays Zorri Bliss in the film, looked ethereal in an incredible taupe gown with a heavy bejewelled neckline and a plunging cut-out section across her midriff.

As yet, little as been revealed about Keri’s character Zorri, who is said to be an an ‘old friend’ of Poe Dameron [Oscar Isaac] apart from the fact she dons a seriously cool red and gold suit throughout the film and never removes her helmet.

Rose Tico actor Kelly Marie Tran first appeared in the franchise during episode eight, The Last Jedi, and is set to return as Resistance fighter who first met Finn while working as a mechanic.

The Rise Of Skywalker is the last film in the nine-episode run of movies that first began in 1977 in with Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope.

The film hopes to tie together the numerous loose ends that have been left unanswered, from the originals to Rian Johnson’s The Last Jedi.

While the plot has to mostly be kept under wraps, it can be said that the film sees Emperor Palpatine return, with Rey (Daisy Ridley) and The Resistance trying to find him, while Supreme Leader Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) is also on the trail.

Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker is set to be released on December 19 in the U.K. and December 20 in the U.S.
