Baz Luhrmann’s 3D adaptation of iconic 1920s New York classic “The Great Gatsby” has been filming in Australia for over a month now, and today we finally have our first look at leading lady Carey Mulligan on set and in costume as Daisy Buchanan, thanks to Just Jared. Joining her in the new photos and looking all fancied up and dapper are co-stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire, who play Jay Gatsby and Nick Carraway, respectively.Mulligan won the role of Daisy a full year ago after an extensive search that saw the likes of Scarlett Johansson, Keira Knightley and Natalie Portman vying for the part. But Luhrmann was enthusiastic that Mulligan was his Daisy, saying: “Regarding the role of Daisy Buchanan, I was privileged to explore the character with some of the world’s most talented actresses, each one bringing their own particular interpretation, all of which were legitimate and exciting. However, specific to this particular production of The Great Gatsby, I was thrilled to pick up the phone an hour ago to the young Oscar-nominated British actress Carey Mulligan and say to her: ‘Hello, Daisy Buchanan.’” Luhrmann’s impressive – and highly Australian – cast is rounded out by Joel Edgerton as Tom Buchanan, Isla Fisher as Myrtle Wilson, newcomer Elizabeth Debecki as Jordan Baker and Jason Clarke as George Wilson.
“The Great Gatsby” already has a Christmas Day, December 25, 2012 release date. See below for the new images of Mulligan as Daisy, and head to Just Jared for even more.

Ummmmm, not to be mean or anything, but are those support stockings Carey has on, and are her ankles rather thick, or is it just a trick of the photo angle?
