Michelle Dockery attended the world premiere screening of ‘Here’ at the 2024 AFI Festival in Hollywood, California, sporting a McQueen Fall 2024 suit.
Known for her refined red carpet presence throughout her ‘Downton Abbey’ press tours—where she captivated in a steady stream of classic gowns—Michelle’s latest appearance in this edgy, structured McQueen suit marks a clear departure from her signature style.
The striped suit itself is bold, featuring a jacket with McQueen’s signature padded shoulders and unique styling of wrapped arm and waist details.
While I’m here for the drama of it all, it also seems to dominate Michelle’s frame.
McQueen is known for audacious silhouettes, but I feel that removing the padded shoulders could have been a subtler choice that would’ve suited her better. Or some might feel that all she needed to do was wear her hair back.
The trousers appear a touch too long, adding unnecessary bulk at the hemline and further contributing to the suit’s slightly overwhelming effect. A bit more balance here would have allowed the suit’s inherently sleek lines to speak for themselves.
It’s a fashion-forward move for Michelle, showcasing her willingness to experiment, though I wish the execution had been a bit better.
