Pregnant Michelle Dockery displays her baby bump in sparkling black gown as she joins her Downton Abbey co-stars at NYC premiere for final movie

On Monday evening, Michelle Dockery made a return to the red carpet, proudly displaying her pregnancy at the dazzling New York premiere of the last Downton Abbey film.

A few days following her unexpected pregnancy revelation during the London debut of Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale, the actress, who is 43 years old, attended Jazz at Lincoln Center alongside her fellow cast members.

Michelle, portraying Lady Mary Crawley, appeared radiantly beautiful in a shimmering black dress that accentuated her expanding belly due to its form-fitting style.

Michelle’s character, Lady Mary Crawley, was a vision in a glistening black gown, the snug fit of which highlighted her increasingly prominent baby bump.

In the year 2023, Michelle tied the knot with acclaimed producer Jasper Waller-Bridge, aged 37, in a heartfelt wedding ceremony that was graced by her fellow actors from Downton Abbey.

In the year 2015, the star experienced deep sorrow upon the passing of her fiance, John Dineen, who was an Irish publicist. He lost his life at the age of 34, after a tough 15-month struggle with a rare type of cancer.

In simpler terms, it was reported by The Mail on Sunday that Michelle found love for the first time after her partner’s death, having met through Phoebe Waller-Bridge (his famous sister) in 2019. They announced their upcoming marriage in The Times in January 2022.

While Michelle’s husband attended the London premiere with her, in New York City, the actress enjoyed herself with her fellow actors. On the red carpet, she had a heartwarming hug with her screen partner, Elizabeth McGovern.

During the London event, Michelle’s husband was present, but in New York City, the actress hung out with her co-stars. She even shared a tender moment with her onscreen counterpart, Elizabeth McGovern, on the red carpet.

As the devoted admirer following the Downton Abbey series, I couldn’t help but notice how stunningly radiant Elizabeth, portraying the Countess of Grantham, appeared in an eye-catching blend of neon pink and orange sequins that night.

The 64-year-old acress was full of confidence as she beamed and posed in the dramatic dress.

On Monday evening, we also had the presence of Laura Carmichael, the actress portraying Lady Edith. She exuded elegance in a sleek grey gown that accentuated her slender silhouette.

In last night’s event, it was Joanne Froggatt, playing the character Anna Bates, who caught everyone’s attention in a bold move. She donned a sleek, strapless black dress that was quite striking, and topped off her outfit with slicked-back hair – a dramatic change from her usual on-screen style.

At the glamorous red carpet event, not only Family patriarch Lord Gratham, commonly known as Hugh Bonneville, but also Allen Leech (Tom Branson), Paul Giamatti (Harold Levinson), and the series creator Julian Fellowes graced the event with their presence.

Last week, at the London premiere, Hugh, who is 61 years old, was accompanied by his new partner Heidi Kadlecova. This was a seldom-seen moment of them appearing together in public.

Celebrations took place as stars came together for the grand finale of the cherished Downton Abbey television series, which had been running successfully for 15 years and was later followed by three movies.

On September 12, Downton Abbey: The Final Chapter takes place in the year 1930, a span of 18 years following the initial broadcast.

The story unfolds, focusing on the Crawley family, as they navigate their lives post-Wall Street Crash and following Lady Mary’s controversial divorce.

The situation raises doubts about her right to inherit the Downton Abbey estate from her father, Lord Grantham (portrayed by Hugh Bonneville). He finds himself in a difficult position, pondering if she’s capable of managing the estate given the increased public attention and criticism.

Currently, there’s a tribute being made to the late Dame Maggie Smith, who passed away in September, portraying her role as the Dowager Countess of Grantham. This is the first time a Downton Abbey series or movie will be produced without her participation.

In other places, the family encounters financial difficulties due to the fear of being shunned socially.

Once more, the Crawleys are called upon to adapt as a new generation prepares to guide Downton Abbey towards tomorrow.
