On October 15, Vogue Book Club staged a special screening of Georgia Oakley’s new adaptation of Sense and Sensibility at New York’s Metrograph, followed by a live interview with star Daisy Edgar‑Jones, according to Vogue.
What happened
The evening began with a cocktail hour where guests enjoyed sliders, a Dashwood Sisters Spritz, a Barton Cottage Brew and a mocktail called Margaret’s Sensible Sip. Attendees dressed in embroidered dresses, velvet blouses, silky skirts and corset tops to echo the Regency setting of the novel, though no bonnets were seen. After the film, host Chloe Malle and Edgar‑Jones discussed the production, including the director’s methods for building sisterly chemistry among the cast.
What the reports add
Vogue noted that Estée Lauder co‑hosted the event, providing on‑site beauty touch‑ups. Creative director Leigh Batnick Plessner of jewelry brand Catbird wore Georgian‑inspired pieces and revealed she was wearing a nightgown under her dress. The article also highlighted that the film’s focus, according to director Oakley, is on the relationship between the Dashwood sisters Marianne and Elinor.
What was said
Chloe Malle told the crowd, “I am so excited to be in a room full of Austen heads.” Leigh Batnick Plessner said, “I am wearing a nightgown under my dress, which feels appropriate.” Edgar‑Jones said, “I’m such a huge fan of romance and rom‑coms… My first introduction to Austen, before I read all the books, was Clueless.” She added that the love story of the film centers on Marianne and Elonr, echoing Oakley’s comment.
How it came about
The screening followed the film’s theatrical release announced earlier in October, which Felo previously covered in its October 14 article about Edgar‑Jones and Esmé Creed‑Miles being cast as the Dashwood sisters. The event served as a press‑tour finale for Edgar‑Jones, who earlier in the month debuted a sheer nude gown at the Sydney premiere, as reported by Felo on October 1.
