'Star Wars' Alum Daisy Ridley Came Back To Instagram 1 Year Ago Today

Actress Daisy Ridley quit social media shortly after she wrapped up "Star Wars" and only joined Instagram again after a social media hiatus that lasted several years.

The "Young Woman and the Sea" actress joined Instagram again on April 4, 2022... exactly one year ago today!

In her very first Instagram post marking her return, the 30-year-old actress – who is about to turn 31 on April 10 – shared a photo of her sipping tea while lounging in a fluffy white bathrobe.

“Coming out of social media hibernation refreshed, recharged, and ready for what I’m calling my ‘Year of Yes’. (And that’s the tea.),” she joked in the caption.

Plenty of fans were happy to welcome her back to Instagram. One fan called it “the best decision you ever made” while another follower joked, “How does Rey Skywalker not dominate the social apps?”

That same month, the London native took to the BAFTA red carpet to show off her pixie cut in a black gown. “Better late than never!” she wrote in the caption. “ ‘Year or Yes’ going strong at the 2022 @BAFTA Awards, wearing a beautiful dress from 2 previous dresses.”

“I love your dress,” one fan commented. “My Queen,” another follower joked. “I love her seriousness,” a third fan teased. “She’s gorgeous and really tryna be chill,” another follower teased while plenty of fans told her just how much they loved her mum!

Although she has since moved on for other projects, Daisy will forever will be known for her role as Rey in the “Star Wars” sequel trilogy. While working on another role, she was surprised in the break room by “Kylo Ren” on Star Wars Day, which takes place May 4th every year in a play on “May the Fourth Be With You.”

“May 4th surprise on set. Two worlds colliding!” Daisy wrote in the caption. “Your legacy continues,” one fan joked. “Rey Skywalker forever,” another follower chimed in while other fans told her how much they loved her with blonde hair!

Even though she may be done with a galaxy far, far away, Daisy hasn’t left Disney behind. She returned to star in “Young Woman and the Sea,” which is based on the true story of Gertrude Ederle, the first woman to ever swim across the English channel.

In her post, she shared three photos of her posing alongside the sea with the cast and crew, writing, “And that’s a wrap! Last day on set for Young Woman and the Sea. It has been tough, but worthwhile, and I think we have made a film to be proud of. So grateful for #TeamTrudy.”

Earlier in the year, she had also teased some camera tests that she had done for the film. Fans can’t wait to watch the movie to come out, with one fan writing, “I can’t wait. Every roll you have played has been a banger so far.”

“So happy we get to see you again in some new films!!!” another follower exclaimed. “Can’t wait to watch you live your best life. You truly are my hero,” a third fan chimed in.

To promote her latest film “Sometimes I Think About Dying,” which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, Daisy took part in an “Alice in Wonderland” themed photoshoot for Glass magazine.

“I was a little scaredy pants as hadn’t done a shoot in ages but had the most gorgeous day doing Alice in Wonderland extravaganza! Thank you team!” Daisy wrote in the caption.

Her last Instagram post was posted on March 25, which included three photos of Daisy posing in various outfits. In the caption, the actress teased, “More fashuuuuun!”

Fans can't wait to see when she will post next, but there will most likely be photos of a cake for her 31st birthday on April 10!
