Tropes associated with her roles include:
- Dawson Casting:
- Averted for the first St Trinian's reboot movie, where she was 18/19 years old and playing high schooler Chelsea. Played straight by the time the sequel came out; Chelsea is still in school while Egerton was nearly 21.
- In Love, Rosie, she was 26 portraying Sally between the ages of 19 and 24.
- Romance on the Set: She met her future husband Josh Hartnett on the set of The Lovers, where they played a married couple.
- Statuesque Stunner: She's 5'10" and a number of her roles have emphasized her beauty (including love scenes and nudity in Camelot). However, she did lament in a 2015 interview that she had lost out on several roles she was interested in due to her being deemed 'too tall'.
