That's not very ladylike! Michelle Dockery almost exposes herself as she celebrates Downton Abbey's triumph at SAG Awards
|
But that excitement almost proved dangerous for Michelle Dockery, whose dress threatened to expose her while laughing with her cast mates backstage at the awards show in Los Angeles on Sunday.

Oops! Michelle Dockery was too focused on receiving her first SAG Award that she nearly slipped out of her dress
The 31-year-old actress wore a daring vintage Chado Ralph Rucci black satin down with sheer panels along the sides that showed off a fair amount of 'side boob'.
Although she didn't win for her individual nomination - she was bested by Homeland actress Claire Danes - Michelle was honoured alongside her cast mates for outstanding performance by an ensemble in a drama series.

standout showing: Michelle coated her lips with deep red shade of lipstick and opted for dark eye make-up
The cast were visibly shocked at beating the likes of Mad Men and Homeland to the prestigious award.
Phyllis Logan, who plays Mrs. Hughes on the Masterpiece Classic show, led the cast on the stage to accept the award.
'We are so not expecting this!' she proclaimed.

'We would like to thank, first of all, SAG for even bothering to consider us against this fantastic category that we're in. We're just absolutely overwhelmed by it all,' she continued.
The crew carried their jubilation backstage, where they posed together for the cameras with their newly gifted bronze statuettes.
And perhaps she forgot the tenets of her demure Downton Abbey character, as Michelle jumped into Phyllis' arms, which caused the barely-there top of her dress to shift.

Happy as can be: Dockery and her co-stars could barely contain their joy at beating the likes of Mad Men and Homeland
Dinner is served: Michelle, Allen and all those in attendance were treated to a five-star meal of locally-sourced salmon, beef tenderloin and veggies
But it was all in good fun, as the group eventually returned to their seats for the remainder of the ceremony.
The Screen Actors Guild Awards come as a great honour to actors in Hollywood and beyond, as the nominations and winners are chosen by their peers.
Over 1,200 of the industry's finest performers attended Sunday's event at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, where they were treated to a five-star dinner of locally-sourced salmon, beef tenderloin and veggies and bottles of wine and of course, celebratory champagne.
