Downton Abbey actress Michelle Dockery wore a black and white tuxedo-inspired dress to the 20th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards, in Los Angeles.
The stunning monochrome dress is a J.Mendel garment, and the 32-year-old oozed confidence and style as she posed on the red carpet.
Speaking to E!, Michelle said: 'It's like a tuxedo but a dress so I loved it. I have never worn J Mendel before.'

Fabulous frock: Downton Abbey star Michelle Dockery looked stunning as she arrived on the Screen Actors Guild Awards red carpet in a monochrome dress on Saturday night
With a plunging front, two stitched-on pockets and a slit up the front, it was a daring choice of dress for Michelle.
The strong black panels of the perfectly cut dress contrasted with the white edging around the chest line, and the perfect pale of the star's skin.
A lick of red lipstick was all the outfit needed to help bring out the actress's pretty features; she tied up her brunette locks so as not to distract from her overall look.
The 32-year-old was spotted hanging out with Jeremy Irons, who was born on the Isle of Wight, as they both made their way down the red carpet talking to various members of the press.
