Laura Carmichael In Christopher Kane – The Fashion Awards 2017

Laura Carmichael struck a pose at The Fashion Awards on Monday (December 4) in London, joining Pink and Selena Gomez.

I was surprised when I saw the former ‘Downton Abbey’ star clad in a directional Christopher Kane Spring 2018 dress.

The actress often favors classic, feminine styles with timeless silhouettes so I applaud her for trying something new.

Her black version presented a more formal feel and I can hear many cheers for her lining the dress. The neutral underlayer allowed the exquisite lace detailing to not be lost.

The crisscross heels played up the edginess of the look, but I would have preferred a clutch over the micro bag.

Which version of the dress do you prefer?
