‘Downton Abbey’ Star Stuns in Daring, Low-Cut Dress

Lady Mary Crawley is rarely spotted without her signature demure gowns in the hit PBS series, “Downton Abbey,” but real life actress Michelle Dockery prefers to heat things up on the red carpet. PHOTOS: Stars Sparkle in Sequins at 2014 SAG Awards While several stars made bold entrances with sparkling ensembles at Saturday’s Screen Actors Guild Awards in Los Angeles, the 32-year-old British beauty chose a more daring look with a head-turning, oh-so-sultry dress that kept all eyes on her.

Taking inspiration from classic menswear, Dockery sported a classic tuxedo gown with a seductive twist: a plunging neckline and a thigh-high split. The monochrome dress, designed by J. Mendel, accentuated the star’s flawless features, fiery red pout, and glossy bob haircut.  And according to Dockery herself, the inspiration may have come from a sexy singer. “I was listening to Beyonce’s new album nonstop this morning while getting ready,” said Dockery to Los Angeles Times. “That album is everything I want in life. It’s brilliant." READ: Michele Bachmann Mimics 'Downton Abbey' in Family Portrait This isn’t the first time Dockery chose to reveal her assets at the SAG Awards.
