Michelle Dockery, Emmy nominee, has a big task ahead of her for the upcoming Primetime Emmy Awards. "Downton Abbey's" Lady Mary will be on everyone's style radar as the September awards show drew near.

The red carpet became a comfortable place for the Best Actress nominee. Michelle Dockery showed off some daring looks as of late. Her developing sense of style started to get noticed when she donned a custom-made Louis Vuitton gown for the Primetime Emmy Awards in 2012.

In September 2012, the 31-year-old actress chose a lovely shade of blue for her red carpet appearance. The sweeping gown, with a sheer yoke and a sweetheart neckline fell short as far as fit went, but the beautiful color and Michelle's flawless makeup and accessories deserve a pass.

Michelle Dockery's style was obviously on the rise when she stepped out of the box and into a gold lace Alexandre Vauthier Couture gown. At the 2013 Golden Globe Awards, Michelle showed her willingness to take style risks by choosing a high-neck, bold-shoulder gown. The gold-and-white dress worked perfectly with Michelle Dockery's haircut - a chin-length bob that she styled in waves. Another outstanding choice was Michelle's jewelry. Her gold and emerald earrings looked stunning.

Michelle Dockery and Dan Stevens were part of the excited "Downton Abbey" cast who won Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series at the 2013 Screen Actors Guild Awards. For the occasion, Lady Mary wore a sexy Chado Ralph Rucci gown. This was unexpected for Michelle Dockery. Side boob exposure is not normally a part of her wardrobe. This darker, more racy look was a red carpet win for the "Anna Karenina" actress.

In April 2013, a violet gown spelled "best dressed" for Michelle Dockery. Emmy Awards style anticipation shot up for the actress after the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner. She looked fantastic in a belted Elie Saab peplum gown. Her dress was elegant, simple and, oh, so regal.
