The 35-year-old actress, who plays heroine Vanessa Ives in the series, donned a floor-sweeping black dress and matching overcoat.

Despite being one of the most repressed eras in British history, fans of the show were given a hint of flesh, with Eva's decolletage showing through a sheer lace panel on the heavy frock.

The raven-haired beauty was being guided around the Dublin set of the series, which has proved a hit with fans since first airing in May 2014.

Earlier in the week, the actress was seen wearing an equally dowdy ensemble for her fiery on-screen character.

Eva cut a gothic figure in her costume which comprised of her heavy, Victorian style skirt while she wore hobnail boots underneath.

She flashed her trim waist from beneath the fitted jacket while wearing an extremely restricting cream blouse tied up to the neck.

Her ensemble for shooting the series, which is set in the 19th Century, was extremely well thought through, with Eva looking just like an emblem of the past.

Her raven locks were pulled into a dishevelled low bun with a sweeping side parting. 

Eva's make-up was one of the stand out points of the entire ensemble. 

The natural beauty was made to look drawn and unwell, with the help of lashing of white powder and daunting purple shadows drawn around her eyes.

The critically acclaimed Showtime programme is centered around the 'penny dreadfuls' - a form of cheap fiction publication of the 19th century which was often lurid in content. 

The series borrows from an array of literature to provide characters including Oscar Wilde's creation, Dorian Grey and Mary Shelley's Victor Frankenstein. 

Other stars to appear in the show include Billie Piper and Josh Hartnett
