Emmy-nominated ‘Downton Abbey‘ goddess Michelle Dockery brings some English elegance to the September issue of US Harper’s Bazaar magazine.
The 30-year-old actress, who is also promoting her upcoming film ‘Anna Karenina‘, explains to the magazine why she thinks a period drama as ‘Downton Abbey’ is such a hit in the US.
“I think some period drama can be quite alienating, but Downton isn’t. This is going to sound quite, um, pretentious, but someone said that it’s like a soap written by a poet. I used to get quite defensive of people saying it’s soaplike, but it kind of is”, Michelle tells Bazaar.
For her classic chic feature, captured by the lens of Benjamin A. Huseby, Michelle wears modern and sleek creations by Ralph Lauren, Alberta Ferretti, J. Mendel, Etro and Tom Ford.
