Downton Abbey 2: Elizabeth McGovern, the charm of white hair
Elizabeth McGovern, 60She has been the face of Cora Crawley at Downton Abbey for 6 years since the first season of the series which aired from 2010 to 2016. Next to her is Hugh Bonneville, who plays Robert, the progenitor of the family. To mark the launch of the second film based on the hugely successful fiction, the actress walked the red carpet with a whole new look that is a hymn to female beauty of all ages.

Downton Abbey 2: Elizabeth McGovern, dizzying gap at 60
McGovern drops the color and wears her slicked back gray hair in a sophisticated updo that accentuates her magnetic blue eyes. While the intense red lipstick makes the face shine. For the premiere of Downton Abbey 2: A New Era at London’s Cineworld in Leicester Square, she wore a black velvet dress and a bodice embellished with silver jewels by Azzi & Osta.
The dress leaves the shoulders bare by wrapping the back like a shawl ending with a large bow at the back, in perfect Downton Abbey style. The wide and long skirt to the feet hides a dizzying slit that reveals the slender and perfect legs up to the thigh. Elizabeth McGovern pairs the sophisticated dress that was tailor-made for her with a pair of black, jeweled, high-heeled sandals, which, however, have a short lifespan. In fact, the actress stripped them off at the party after the screening while staying barefoot, which they reveal an almost perfect pedicure.
Accompanying McGovern was her husband and Downton Abbey director Simon Curtis, who seems simply smitten by his wife’s disarming beauty, who, far from Downton Abbey, has a far more somber appearance than Cora.

Downton Abbey 2: A New Era, Storyline
Released by Universal, the film follows the Crawley family moving to the French Riviera, where Lady Violet (Maggie Smith) inherited a mansion. But Downton Abbey, the beautiful Yorkshire estate, remains at the center of the action. The year is 1928, and the wedding of Tom Branson (Allen Leech) and Miss Lucy Smith (Tuppence Middleton), daughter of Maud, Lady Bagshaw (Imelda Staunton), is being celebrated, marking the new entanglement of relationships, feelings and Intrigues begins and balances.
Julian Fellowes, creator of Downton Abbey and now The Gilded Age, now in its second season, said: “I want people to see Downton and enjoy it. I also hope that from time to time we will get them to think about the different backgrounds in an egalitarian society or the difficulty of being homosexual in a historical time when it was still illegal. We touch on those kinds of themes, but they’re not the main purpose of the film. The aim of the film is to give the audience a nice evening”.
