Who What Wear

We challenged Michelle Dockery and Laura Carmichael to a game of Who Wore It: Downton Abbey Edition. Watch above to see how well they're able to identify their fellow cast-mates by their costumes alone.

00:00Hi, I'm Michelle Dockery.

00:01And I'm Loretta Michael.

00:03We're going to see if we can guess the cast member

00:05based on who wore it.

00:07Let's see how we do.

00:08Oh, you're wearing that.

00:16Lady Mary.

00:17That's in the first movie.

00:18The first movie.

00:20It's a good one.

00:21This piece was for the big ballroom scene

00:24at the end of the film.

00:25It's also the scene between Mary and Violet

00:30when Violet tells Mary that she's not very well.

00:32This actually started as a short dress,

00:37which was then, which is original.

00:40So it was from 1928 or something.

00:42And then Anna Robbins had the rest of it made

00:45to make it floor-length.

00:46It was absolutely beautiful.

00:47And I loved it.

00:48It's one of my favorites.

00:50Oh, that's my wedding dress.

00:52Oh no, no, my wedding dress.

00:53That was also from that ball in the first movie.

00:59Yeah, and this was the dress that didn't arrive on time.

01:03So we had to make a big version of it

01:06and then the tailored version.

01:10So yeah, this felt like an ongoing process

01:12of layering different fabrics to get that print.

01:16And that tiara was amazing, wasn't it?

01:18Good tiara, little crown.

01:21Oh, that's Laura Haddock.

01:22It is.

01:24Yeah, that's Myrna.

01:25Yeah, in this movie, when the gorgeous Myrna

01:28died, we found this to dance with.

01:31It's just her arrival.

01:32And she's stepping out of the car.

01:34Her costumes really represented the Hollywood glamour.

01:38So there was lots of fur and silky fabrics.

01:43And shorter and yeah, more loose.

01:47But I think it's so, so sexy.

01:49Yeah, beautiful.

01:50And she has that little kind of platinum

01:52blonde sort of Monroe hair, doesn't she?

01:57Okay, that's me.

01:57That's you.

01:59That's from this movie.

02:00Well, I think I probably wore it in the first one as well.

02:03Sometimes we wear the same things.

02:08But this is, I think this is a scene

02:10where Mary is doing the voice of Myrna

02:16in the film on my microphone.

02:18Yeah, it's a day look.

02:20So this is day wear.

02:23And Anna wanted this to be a sort of Chanel,

02:25a kind of Coco Chanel look.

02:29So it has the double pearls and the beautiful neckline.

02:35Which was actually, this costume started

02:37with just that one piece.

02:39And then everything was made.

02:40So she can start from a really small detail

02:44and work her way down.

02:46But this is one of my favorites.

02:47I loved it.

02:49Oh, yes.

02:50And this is me in the South of France.

02:52This is one of my favorite outfits

02:54I think I've ever worn.

02:55I don't know.

02:57It's a kimono, sort of boat shirt kind of thing.

03:02And yeah, that's an original, I think.

03:04That's a find, to be honest.

03:06And then we made the silk pants.

03:10It really was, you know, right for the climate

03:13because it was cool and flurry.

03:14But yeah, we got to wear trousers

03:17and yet break away from the kind of stiffer world

03:20of dancing.

03:21I think we got to go a bit further into the newer trends.

03:25But sometimes we can't go that far

03:28when we're at the house.

03:30The characters we play, they seem quite held.

03:33So yeah, this was a chance to break away

03:36and show some of the more daring 20s looks.

03:39Correct.

03:40Yeah.

03:41Isn't that the one you were on the poster as well?

03:43Yeah.

03:44Gorgeous.

03:45And the headscarves.

03:46That's something that Mary doesn't really wear.

03:48It's not part of her wardrobe.

03:50It's very much an Edith accessory, isn't it?

03:54Ooh, is that Cora?

03:55I think it might be Cora.

03:57Yeah.

03:58Oh, I know.

03:58It's in this film.

03:59Yeah.

04:00So I think it's a dinner scene or a drawing room scene.

04:04And I think maybe she made it more in the first film,

04:06actually.

04:07Some of these dresses we carried through

04:08and wanted to keep some moments of her, like,

04:11continuity of her life into Japan.

04:13Yeah.

04:14It's got like a cape.

04:15A cape, yeah.

04:16Something like, it's like a cloak.

04:18Yeah, Cora.

04:21Oh, that's Lily.

04:22It's Lily.

04:23So that was the debutante.

04:26So that's Lily James.

04:28Who plays Rose.

04:29Who plays Rose.

04:30And it was this specific design where the hips,

04:35there's sort of padding in the hips

04:39that creates this kind of little bell skirt.

04:41It's super cute.

04:42I remember Lily was like, I don't even love it.

04:45But it was gorgeous.

04:46She was so cute.

04:47And it was a ballroom scene

04:48and she danced with the prince.

04:51And it was very glamorous, that episode,

04:54because there was the royals

04:55and so the costumes were quite elaborate.

04:58It's such a, like, silhouette of that moment, isn't it?

05:01So specific to the time to have that drop waist.

05:04And it's amazing.

05:07That's me.

05:08That's your Fortuny.

05:09That's the Fortuny,

05:10which was the most stunning dress I've ever worn,

05:14which was made by Fortuny for the first film,

05:20especially on the poster as well.

05:22But it was kind of like this concertina.

05:24It's actually, it's amazing because it's huge.

05:27But then when you put it on, it kind of goes.

05:30They're like the only house that make it, aren't they?

05:34Yes.

05:34Concertina fabric.

05:36And would have at the time.

05:37So it was really special to have one of those pieces.

05:41And then she layered Anna Robbins, our costume designer,

05:45layered it with lots of pieces of jewelry, which I loved.

05:48It was fully in the fitting.

05:49She'd put one and then she was like,

05:51no, it needs another one and another one.

05:53And then the line's not very well for them to see from there.

05:56But yeah, it was absolutely beautiful.

05:57One of my favorites.

06:00That's Cora.

06:00That's Cora, the first season.

06:02I love this.

06:04Forget how gorgeous those early years were.

06:08So this would have been the Edwardian period.

06:12And Cora, you know, with the designers,

06:15they're always being conscious of the newness of the time.

06:20But they put that on the mother of the family.

06:22So we often are wearing sort of fashions

06:26that are a bit later.

06:27This to me feels, you know, so early

06:30compared to where we get corsets.

06:32With the high alert codes.

06:34Yeah.

06:35And more like violet shape,

06:37but violet words from that period.

06:40And I remember thinking that Elizabeth

06:41looked like Eliza Doolittle in this outfit.

06:45And that hat.

06:46That was the flower show.

06:48Yeah.

06:49Wasn't it?

06:49It was.

06:50And we had beautiful hats.

06:51I kind of miss that period for the hats.

06:54We had fabulous hats.

06:56Painting.

07:00So that's season two.

07:03And that's when Matthew is coming home.

07:08And the house, the Kamakopolis at home.

07:12I think this was partly made.

07:14So it was French lace and it had like a lilac silk.

07:19So it's underneath.

07:21Yeah.

07:24I actually remember those pearls

07:27when at the dining room scene quite a lot.

07:29I remember this went into the dining room scene.

07:31And I think this was the costume I was wearing

07:32when I was sort of playing with my beads,

07:36just sort of fidgeting with them.

07:37And then the hook came off

07:40and all the beads just went onto the floor.

07:44And then of course,

07:45for continuity we had to fix the necklace

07:48before we started filming again.

07:51So they had to put the beads on piece by piece.

07:54I felt awful, but I loved that period.

07:57And that was, you know, during the war time.

07:59So there was a lot of black and lilac.

08:03There was a lot of mourning for the lost soldiers.

08:07And so there was a real, you know,

08:09those colours were kind of,

08:11we were wearing those quite often.

08:13Yeah, but I loved it.

08:14And I love the hair in this series.

08:16It's very different.

08:18Thanks so much for watching.

08:20Until next time, be well, mate.
