Ralph Lauren and Graydon Carter hosted an evening with the cast of ‘Downton Abbey’, which was an evening of cocktails and a screening of Season 3 prior to its premiere in the US on January 6, 2013.
Joanne Froggatt: As you can see, it was a sea of LBDs at this event, but Joanne was not going to cave: she stuck to her fabulous colourful red carpet run, wearing a delightful pink Ralph Lauren Collection silk sleeveless dress with silver accessories. Needless to say, she’s fast becoming one of my red carpet faves as she is a woman after my own heart.
Michelle Dockery: This is the first time we have seen Michelle on the red carpet since her Emmy’s Louis Vuitton disaster. She got her look oh-so-very right last night, wearing a sexy black Ralph Lauren embroidered one-shoulder dress with ombre Ralph Lauren pumps. A faux bob and dark-pink lips completed her look.
Elizabeth McGovern: Even though the actress also opted for a black Ralph Lauren frock, her silk faille dress was styled with punchy accessories including a purple clutch and satin pumps with a gold accent, both by Ralph Lauren. An additional pop of colour came via her red glossy lips. Was this one pop too far?
Sophie McShera: Sophie, who plays my favourite character from Downton Abbey, was also in attendance. Looking very confident, she wore a black-and-gold Brian Lichtenberg festive crop top with a black leather skirt. Her edgy, youthful look included a black clutch and lace-up booties.

4 mind numbingly boring looks.
Elizabeth McGoverne is beautiful. Its’ too bad that her tights are so shiny !
I like joanne’s look a lot, she got everything right! I also like michelle’s look. With elizabeth I would have preferred a different lip color and less shiny tights (i get why she wants to wear tights it must be awfully cold). As for Sophie I really dislike her top, a different one would have been much better with this edgy look!
Joanne’s is the best look of the lot. The others are rather boring — plus pink and red should NOT be used together.
Joanne is def. the best of the bunch, Michelle is all right, Sophie – not good, Elizabeth – a disaster – the dress looks cheap and her styling is hideous.
+1
+2
+3, love Joanne and I think Michelle looked great too.
Nothing exciting here.
Elizabeth McGovern is a beauty!
But i think, it should be either red lips, or the fuchsia accessories. Both just look strange together
And, of course, i dislike the shiny tights
Joanne and Michelle deliver
Agree one hundred percent. They are my favorites
Joanne looks so refreshing in a sea of black. Michelle makes up for her Emmys’ debacle in this stunningly elegant look. The other two look terrible, unfortunately.
I like Joanne’s colourful and groomed look. Michelle looks sexy yet elegant.
I love Joannes bright dress, the others look like they are going to a funeral i can’t see past their black dreary clothes
