Michelle Dockery looked beautiful on Thursday as the new Downton Abbey poster launched advertising the third and final film, which arrives in cinemas later this year.
The actress, who plays the role of Lady Mary Crawley, is featured in the statement poster, accompanied by the tagline: “The time has come to say goodbye”.
The brunette beauty has never looked more beautiful in her role as the aristocratic Mary.
The 43-year-old looked incredible in a floor-length red gown that featured double straps, fasted with a bejewelled brooch at the bottom of her coccyx and exposing some of her back.
The slinky number looked fluid in texture, and she teamed it with white elbow-length gloves.

Fans aren’t aware of what drama will play out during the final film, but one thing is for sure, the absence of the beloved star Dame Maggie Smith, who played Lady Violet Crawley, will be hugely noticeable.

© SkyThe last day of filming was one the star will always remember. She recalled: “For us, we’ve had so many last times. But this time around, I think we really relished every minute. It being the last, it felt really, really special. Like anything, when something comes to an end, it’s emotional but just such a happy place to be. It’s always been a very happy place to be and a wonderful thing to be part of for the last 15 years.”
