Downton Abbey's Laura Carmichael has really turned the dial up to 11 this year, ditching the more modest frocks in favour of sexy minidresses (like her Ralph and Russo look at the British Fashion Awards) and experimental styles. At the premiere of the Downton Abbey film, she put a sexy spin on the LBD in her Monse gown, which featured a rise-and-fall hemline and a dramatic train. But the real stand-out look for us was the unusual Oscar de la Renta ensemble she chose for the BAFTA Film Gala. Comprising a corset top with a giant bow worn over a pair of slim green trousers, it was the perfect modern red carpet choice.
