THE DOWNTON ABBEY GIRLS APPEAR IN THE DECEMBER ISSUE OF MARIE CLAIRE (FROM LEFT): CLARE CALBRAITH, AMY NUTTALL, JESSICA BROWN-FINDLAY, LAURA CARMICHAEL, ZOE BOYLE, JOANNE FROGGATT, MICHELLE DOCKERY AND SOPHIE MCSHERA
Eight of the actresses who appear in the ITV1 drama posed together in a photo-shoot for Marie Claire magazine.
Alas, the Dowager Countess of Grantham does not feature (!).
The period drama series, created by Julian, now Lord Fellowes, has become one of ITV's most successful productions.
Laura Carmichael, who plays shy Lady Edith, chose the most revealing look in a pair of lurex hotpants and off-the-shoulder top.
She was joined by Jessica Brown-Findlay and Michelle Dockery, otherwise known as Lady Sybil and Lady Mary, and Zoe Boyle, who played Lavinia Swire.
The actresses who play Downton's dowdy maids were also given the opportunity to dress up for the day.
Glamorously attired in a sparkling cocktail dress, Sophie McShera bears little resemblance to her character, the downtrodden Daisy.
Joanna Froggatt (Anna), Amy Nuttall (Ethel) and Clare Calbraith (Jane) completed the line-up.
The second series of Downton Abbey ended with a record 10.7 million viewers and a third is in the works, with eight episodes planned for 2012.
Fans will get another fix in December, when the drama returns for a Christmas special.
Lady Sybil certainly does it for me!
ReplyDeleteSecond from the right? My choice, too; we'll need to toss a coin, old boy!
ReplyDeleteCHECK: I think the young lady 2nd from right is Lady Mary.
ReplyDeleteThat's my girl!
