Earlier on Wednesday at a press conference in Seoul, Daisy looked typically smiley in a striking suit. The black top half of her fitted blazer gave way to a red check lower section which carried on down into her trousers. 

She teamed the outfit with a pair of strappy burgundy stilettos which displayed a series of stars tattooed on her left foot.

Daisy's shoulder-length brunette tresses fell in bouncy waves, while she flashed a bright white smile highlighted by her bold red lipstick.

Before landing the role of Rey following an intense five-audition process, Daisy had appeared in numerous British TV shows including ITV's Mr Selfridge, Silent Witness and Casualty. 

The casting has transformed the 23-year-old's life and she recently revealed she sought help from fellow Brit actress Emma Watson on how to approach her new-found fame. 

She told the Mail: ‘I asked her some stuff that I hadn’t been able to ask Harrison (Ford) and Carrie (Fisher). 

‘She said: “Be yourself!”’ We were out in Covent Garden, and it was so chill — and she was so sweet!’

In an interview with Glamour magazine earlier this year, the actress spoke about how first day nerves threatened to thwart her performance.

Daisy revealed: 'He (Abrams) probably doesn’t remember telling me that my performance was wooden. This was my first day! And I honestly wanted to die. I thought I was gonna cry, I couldn’t breathe.'

Such is the demand for the film, fans have already started camping out in Hollywood ten days ahead of its release.
