Thoroughly Modern Lizzie: Downton Abbey star Elizabeth McGovern goes for futuristic look at Cheerful Weather For A Wedding premiere

We're used to seeing her in period clothing as the Countess of Grantham in Downton Abbey.
But on Wednesday night, the American actress decided to go for a very different look in a futuristic ensemble.
The singer/actress, 51, opted for an unusual leather-look zip-up silver paneled dress as she attended the gala screening of her new movie Cheerful Weather For A Wedding.

The TV star joined her co-stars Felicity Jones and Zoe Tapper at the screening for the period romance, which is released on DVD on Monday.
Rising star Felicity, 29, looked pretty in a pastel dress, while co-star Zoe wore a black dress.
The film stars McGovern as the mother of bride-to-be (Felicity), who is in turmoil when her ex-boyfriend turns up on her wedding day.

The film was adapted from Julia Strachey's novel and is directed by Donald Rice - son of musical impresario Sir Tim Rice.
Meanwhile, now Downton Abbey is on a break, Elizabeth has been throwing herself into her band Sadie And The Hotheads.
She is preparing to release a new single Nothing New, which she will be promoting on Radio 2 this weekend.

Although Dan Stevens has now bowed out of Downton Abbey in the Christmas special, Elizabeth is likely to return for Series 4, which starts filming later this year.
However, during a recent interview with the BBC, she refused to be drawn on any plot developments or a potential end of Downton.
She said: 'Everybody feels that we hope that we know when it’s time to stop, that we don’t wear out our welcome.'
