* PlayingAgainstType: She’s mostly known for playing regal or EnglishRose type characters, though that's largely an accident related to a couple of big parts; her range also encompasses the [[SugarAndIcePersonality sexy-psychotic Adora Belle Dearheart]] and the brittle all-American Janet Armstrong, after all. Anyhow, her next big role? [[Literature/TheMillenniumTrilogy Lisbeth Salander]].

* SeparatedAtBirthCasting: Her and Creator/VanessaKirby look like they could be related.

* DarkActionGirl: Presumably, as Lisbeth.
* DyeHard: Is a brunette but has recently dyed her hair blonde including for her role in ''Unsane''. She also dyed her hair reddish-blonde to play Diane Cavendish in ''Breathe''.
* HotWitch: In ''Film/SeasonOfTheWitch''.
* NamesTheSame: Her middle name is Elizabeth, just like Queen Elizabeth herself. Which makes her casting as the latter HilariousInHindsight.

* RavenHairIvorySkin: As Queen Elizabeth.
* RomanceOnTheSet: Met her soon-to-be-ex-husband Stephen Campbell Moore on the set of ''Film/SeasonOfTheWitch''. They married in 2014 and have a daughter but will be soon divorced.

* StarMakingRole: To say Queen Elizabeth in ''Series/TheCrown2016'' was this for her is an understatement.
* WhatBeautifulEyes: Her photo alone is proof of that.

* WhatBeautifulEyes: Her photo alone in proof of that.

Before that however, she was a relatively obscure actress, appearing in movies like ''Film/SeasonOfTheWitch'' and the short-lived BBC revival of ''Series/UpstairsDownstairs''. (Though fantasy fans may remember her as the intimidating Adora Belle Dearheart in the TV adaptation of Terry Pratchett's ''Discworld/GoingPostal'', and she also registered for some watchers as Anne Boleyn in ''Series/WolfHall''.) ''Series/TheCrown2016'' changed all that and she won two Screen Actors Guild awards for her role; she then demonstrated the ability to switch accents as Neil Armstrong's wife Janet in ''Film/FirstMan''. She’s also set to play [[Literature/TheMillenniumTrilogy Lisbeth Salander]] in the movie adaptation of ''Film/TheGirlInTheSpidersWeb''.
