Their aristocratic alter egos would usually wear only a touch of lipstick and show just a hint of cleavage lest they face the disapproval of the Dowager Countess.
But, posing in revealing outfits and dramatic make-up, these three young stars are a far cry from their prim Downton Abbey counterparts.
Won't you catch a cold in that? Laura Carmichael, aka Lady Edith, looks ethereal in her cover shoot for LOVE magazine
Jessica Brown Findlay, Michelle Dockery and Laura Carmichael – who play Sybil, Mary and Edith in the ITV drama – underwent the gothic-inspired transformation for a photo shoot with fashion bible LOVE.
Styled by the magazine’s editor-in-chief Katie Grand, it sees Lady Sybil don a plunging corset, with flowers in her messy hair.
Meanwhile, Lady Mary has a bright blue bouffant and ‘plain’ Lady Edith wearing little more than a piece of netting.
