Lena Dunham could learn a few things from Michelle Dockery. The “Downton Abbey” actress also chose an interesting dress for the 2014 Emmys.

Her color-blocked Rosie Assoulin Fall 2014 gown features folded flaps at the sides of the legs that could’ve easily been compared to a parachute, a tablecloth, or a napkin.

Rather than facing criticism, Michelle earned glowing reviews thanks to the effortless grace and confidence with which she carried herself. Her poise was so striking that she needed nothing more than natural makeup, a sleek low chignon and understated jewelry to complete her look.

It even shone past the misaligned darts on the bodice and the wrinkling on the skirt, which have become trivial compared to the rest of Michelle’s winning red carpet look.
