In April 2018, Michelle Dockery oozed elegance on the pink carpet at the 2018 CanneSeries International Festival held at Palais des Festivals, Cannes, France.
Reflecting her own fashion philosophy, Dockery once said, “I’m quite into the French way – simple elegance with just a suggestion of sexiness, nothing vulgar.” Her appearance that evening embodied this sentiment perfectly, as she stunned in a poppy red Roland Mouret gown, exuding sophistication and understated glamour.
