felicity jones / MET GALA 2017

That’s a gorgeous dress, and a gorgeous look on the lovely Ms Jones! 

Late-nineteenth century AU anyone? 

British heiress the Rt Honourable Jyn Erso looks the picture of innocence in her elegant dress with the ruffles and the small bustle; her smile is sweet and she wears her hair in a becomingly loose and girlish style.  But beneath her demure exterior the young noblewoman is a dedicated fighter for justice and a capable secret agent of the Crown; and on
this chilly spring night in 1889,

as soon as the tiresome opera gala finishes, she will be slipping away, to take a private coach to Dover for a rendezvous with a mysterious Spanish Captain, a night voyage to Ostend, and a top-secret mission in the aftermath of a sudden death that has rocked the Austro-Hungarian Empire…

Well, 1889? That’s the year Rudolph, the Crown Prince of Austro-Hungary died under mysterious circumstances, the so-called Mayerling incident. Maybe the vile Croatian politician and nobleman Ognjen Krennić and German Geheimpolizei Oberst Wilhelm Tarkin had something to do with it to remove Rudolph from the line of sucession and weaken the state?
