Michelle Dockery revealed her Prada-clad baby bump at the ‘Downton’ premiere

I’ve accidentally been doing a Downton Abbey rewatch in recent months and remembering which storylines I enjoyed. I guess I’m preparing myself for the final film: Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale. This seems to be the real goodbye to the franchise which started fourteen years ago. The big scandal of this latest movie is that Black Widow Mary didn’t kill off another lover: she let her second husband leave by divorce. She is now a divorced woman, looking after a grand estate in what is surely the 1930s by now??

Anyway, there was a big premiere in London last night! I was so happy to see Michelle Dockery revealing a big baby bump. Michelle lost one of her great loves, her fiance John Dineen, to cancer in 2015. Years later, she married Jasper Waller-Bridge in 2023. She’s now expecting their first child at the age of 43! Good for her. Her premiere look was Prada, btw. The dress is fine, but her hair is kind of terrible!

I’m including more premiere photos – Allen Leech (Tom Branson, always one of my favorites), Joanne Froggert (in Cong Tri), and Laura Carmichael in Harris Reid. Laura’s dress is not great, but she looks good overall. Also, Joely Richardson looked magnificent in a regal red gown. She’s playing some new character in the movie.

Princess Beatrice wore a pale Markarian to the Alchemist’s Feast: lovely?

Last night was The Alchemist’s Feast, which is a very cool name for an artsy society fundraiser/gala. The Alchemist’s Feast benefits the National Gallery and their Bicentenary campaign. Their big royal guest was Princess Beatrice and Bea’s husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi. Beatrice has been saying “yes” to every invite recently, and I do believe there’s an effort being made – by Bea and others – to push her into the spotlight. I think this is part of a campaign to make her a “working royal.”

Beatrice’s style has improved so much since she married Edo. While she still wears some bonkers fashion every now and then, she’s cleaned up her look so much. She’s consistently going “softer” – pastels, florals, less jarring colors and patterns. This gown is a good example! It’s likely Markarian and it suits her. Pale green is a tricky color but the black accents make it work. I wouldn’t have put this headband on her, but overall, the look is great.

Other guests included Damian Lewis (sob), Sienna Miller and Joely Richardson. I love Joely’s bronze jumpsuit, I just wish we couldn’t see her bra. Sienna looks over it but glamorous.
