    The best-dressed guests from the 'Downton Abbey' premiere

    Downton Abbey is known for its glamorous costumes, so it came as no surprise that last night's London film premiere was a very elegant affair. At the Downton Abbey: A New Era premiere in Leicester Square, we were treated to some stylish looks on the red carpet, from Michelle Dockery in shimmering Valentino, to Laura Haddock in a delicate feathered Miu Miu design, and Claire Danes in a lace Prada look.

    The franchise has become one of the most popular period dramas of all time, something that Michelle Dockery (who stars as Lady Mary Crawley) puts down to our fascination with the past.

    Downton Abbey fans can expect the return of other much-loved characters as well as new faces in the second film, which will pick up where the last movie left off in the late 1920s. Downton Abbey: A New Era will premiere in UK cinemas on 29 April, but for now, enjoy our edit of the best-dressed stars from last night's red carpet, here:
