"If you can&amp;#x27;t already tell, I&amp;#x27;m kiiiiind of obsessed with both Downton Abbey&amp;#x27;s Lady Mary and the talented actress who plays her, Michelle Dockery. Even when Lady Mary is in mourning, she has the best wardrobe in the castle, and Michelle Dockery has proved herself a pro on the awards season red carpet. She manages to channel that regal elegance of her TV counterpart but pull off both Hollywood-glam formal gowns and edgier modern shapes and styles with equal levels of sartorial skill. For those reasons (and my persistent, bordering on stalkerish, lobbying), Michelle Dockery is our Glamour Style Icon of the Week. Someone tell Carson, he&amp;#x27;ll be so happy! Michelle Dockery was already an award-winning stage and TV actress in the U.K. when she took on the part of Lady Mary Crawley in Downton Abbey. The show premiered stateside in 2011 and quickly became a hit. So here&amp;#x27;s a pic of Michelle and Dan Stevens from a Derby Day party that year&amp;amp;#8212;especially for you fans and Matthew and Mary shippers out there. RIP, Matthew. It&amp;#x27;s always sort of jarring (in a good way) when Michelle does modern-chic in a shorter, edgier look (and Anna hasn&amp;#x27;t styled her hair into a &amp;#x27;20s wavy bob), but she always nails it. Here she is at a 2012 pre-Emmys reception in a pink-and-black lace Erdem dress. She stunned on the 2012 Met Gala red carpet in a very regal and mirrored gold-embellished Ralph Lauren Collection gown. For the 2013 Golden Globes, Michelle pleasantly surprised in a majestically avant garde Alexandre Vauthier gown. During the ceremony, every fashion girl&amp;#x27;s worst nightmare happened&amp;amp;#8212;after a collision with a waiter carrying a tray of half-empty glasses, she ended up with red wine spilled all over her white dress. ANNA!! Michelle opted for a two-tone mini-peplum Elie Saab gown for the White House Correspondents&amp;#x27; Dinner last year. The rich shade of purple looks so beautiful on her. She also stunned in a two-tone halter Prada gown later that year at the Emmy Awards. One big advantage to the rise-fall silhouette? You can actually see the shoes. After sitting front row at the Miu Miu Paris Fashion Week show in September, Michelle wore the label&amp;#x27;s pink (and you know we love pink!) floral-embroidered frock to a Downton Abbey season-four photo call. It&amp;#x27;s always so refreshing to see her in a short dress for some reason. Maybe because Lady Mary has to wait like four more decades before society lets women show their legs in a miniskirt. Earlier this month at a pre-Globes event, Michelle experimented with prints and color in a contrast-plaid Altuzarra dress from his pre-fall 2014 collection. I love it. And Michelle made another departure from her Lady Mary costuming in this cleavage-baring blocked J. Mendel gown at the SAG Awards on Saturday night. (Did you vote for your favorite look yet?) Which look is your favorite? Did you love her dress from the SAG Awards?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
