It’s a well-known fact that Star Wars executives like to work with new faces, and the latest franchise flick, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, is no exception. In December 2016, she turned heads during the premiere of her movie.
While English actress Felicity Jones isn’t exactly a newbie in the industry — she did make her television debut at age 12 — the 33-year-old actress is grabbing the world’s attention as the latest “Star Wars” leading lady.
Felicity was spotted easing into her second wind of fame. The actress signed autographs for her fans outside radio stations in London.

Felicity stepped out into the biting cold London air in the flimsy one-piece “Gia” by Emilia Wickstead. The pale blue midi dress is made of crepe fabric, decorated with black piping at the cuffs, and finished with a Peter Pan collar.
The actress completed her look with delicate jewelry from Delfina Delettrez and a pair of platform pumps from Casadei. The shoes were likely chosen for their blend of elegance and edge, with the velvet texture and glittery block heels adding a bold statement to her otherwise classic ensemble.

Overall, we appreciate this attempt at a Kate Middleton-inspired look. However, we wish Felicity had pressed her outfit and opted for a different pair of shoes. Her stylist was on the right track with the half ponytail, delicate earrings, and sophisticated top, but things took a turn from the waist down.
While the wrinkles in the dress are forgivable, the shoes simply don’t work. The combination gives off a “drag meets Duchess of Cambridge” vibe.
That said, the shoes themselves aren’t terrible. You can shop a darker version of the glittery velvet platform pumps at Farfetch.
