ITV.com has officially updated their website with a new promotional image of Mary with baby George, along with some synopsis information.

Downton Abbey series four finds Lady Mary mourning her husband Matthew, who died six months earlier in a tragic car crash.

Matthew had just visited his wife and new baby George in hospital and was returning to see his family when his car overturned killing the heir to Downton.

Will Mary find happiness again in the new series of Downton Abbey which will be back on our screen in the Autumn?

Another season 4 promotional image has surfaced, this time, more of a full-length shot of Michelle as Lady Mary with her son in Downton Abbey. A new photoshoot has surfaced as well featuring some very intense close ups of Michelle through a veil.

EDIT: The photographer is Matt Humphrey, and the shoot is from back in 2010 when Michelle was playing Eliza Doolittle in Pygmalion. Many thanks to In-flagrante for sending in the tip!

After an enjoyable day at the Burberry Fashion Show, Michelle hit the London nightlife! Several articles are sighting that she is with a female friend, but I’m pretty sure that’s her sister, who also accompanied her to the Burberry show earlier in the day.

In Downton Abbey, Michelle Dockery cuts the perfect shape in 1920s straight styles and drop waists, but when she embarked on a role away from the series in the latest film adaptation of Anna Karenina it was a different style story.

The film, which stars Keira Knightley in the lead role, is set in the 1870s and sees Michelle take on the role of Princess Myagkaya, this time clad in corsets and full skirts. To find out how the transition from Downton to Russia came about through costume, Marie Claire spoke with costume designer Jacqueline Durran, whose most recent triumph was winning a BAFTA for her work on the film.

Jacqueline said: ‘Michelle Dockery was great to work with, she’s so elegant and that’s ideal for the part she was playing and for the style of the dress she was wearing.

‘If you’re aiming for a fashion/beauty look then Michelle has got the perfect figure. She was involved in the high society part of the film wearing fashion to match and she was perfect for it.’

When asked what cuts it as the perfect figure for costume drama Jacqueline was quick to dispel any myths adding: ‘There’s no such thing as the perfect figure to dress. It depends what you’re trying to achieve.

‘Costume is about telling stories and stories have all different kinds of characters. Someone with a really flat stomach could be the perfect person to play person with a big stomach and we can have fun dressing them up.’
