And Laura Carmichael, Michelle Dockery and several other members of the Downton Abbey cast all attended a BAFTA screening of the film in New York City on Monday.

Laura, 33, who plays Edith, Lady Hexham, looked radiant as ever for the event, donning a white blazer with rolled up sleeves and matching trousers.

The actress added height to her frame with a pair of white heels while she also sported a pair of gold earrings.

Wearing light make-up, Laura slicked her platinum blonde locks back as she joined her co-stars at the screening.

Michelle, 37, who plays Lady Mary Talbot, cut an edgy figure for the screening in a tan, knee-length jacket with structured shoulders and a detailed ring embellishment.

She also wore matching tan trousers and paired it with a crisp, buttoned-up white shirt.

The Downton Abbey movie comes four years after the final episode aired on TV and follows a royal visit to the sprawling manor. It is set in the autumn of 1927.

King George V and Queen Mary, portrayed by cast newcomers Simon Jones and Geraldine James, will grace the Abbey with their company, along with new character Lady Maud Bagshaw, played by Imelda Staunton, who also joins the franchise.

Hugh Bonneville has already teased the possibility of a sequel, as he discussed the TV show’s hotly-anticipated feature-length adaptation with The Mirror recently.

The actor, 55, seemed very keen to return to the franchise, as he admitted: ‘When we started filming, I thought this is going to be a nice full stop, but there is such an appetite for it, I can see it carrying on. I’d never say never!’

Hugh added that stepping out on the film set wasn’t that different to making the beloved British TV show, as it just felt like ‘a bigger table.’

And of returning to the characters in a feature-length setting, he said: ‘Here we all were eight years later. As we looked around the room there were grins of “can you believe we’re here again!” ‘

The TV series, which aired on ITV from September 2010 until Christmas Day 2015, followed the lives of the aristocratic household during the early 20th century.

The new film picks up immediately after the final scene from the last episode of the hit ITV show.

Earlier this year, Michelle couldn’t hide her delight at being able to return to her iconic role as she discussed the new film.

Speaking to In Style magazine, she said: ‘Three years, but it felt like no time had passed at all. [I realised] I’d taken some things for granted. Like driving up to that house [the setting for Downton Abbey], it honestly took my breath away.’
