"I have to admit that when I see Michelle Dockery in off-screen, non-period clothing it kind of throws me off for a second. I know she&amp;#x27;s a total style star these days (and she looks awesome in leather, especially a moto-jacket), but maybe it&amp;#x27;s because those Downton Abbey dresses are just so beautiful, and she looks so amazing in them. So leave it to an off-the-clock Lady Mary to somehow make leather minidress completely afternoon-tea-ready. Michelle hit the front row of the Miu Miu spring 2014 show in a black leather shift dress that would be edgy except for one adorable, feminine detail: the splash of sequins and beading on the collar and neckline. The embellishments make any flashy jewelry unnecessary, and all she needed was a pair of simple black pumps to finish the look. While, yes, a Miu Miu leather bejeweled collar dress might be a bit of an investment, there&amp;#x27;s an easy way to co-opt the look. Start with a basic leather (or vegan leather) shift dress and layer on a statement collar necklace. And you&amp;#x27;re set! Shop out some Lady Mary Michelle-inspired leather dress and collar pairings here: Do you like Michelle&amp;#x27;s dress? Do you prefer her IRL clothing or her Lady Mary looks? (It&amp;#x27;s OK to say both too.) Photo: Getty Images"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
