The exhibition, which aims to provide viewers with a taste of the fictional Yorkshire estate, will be on display until New Year's Day.

Recently, the much-loved show has been given the green light for a big screen adaptation.

But before they start filming, Michelle stylishly joined her ITV co-stars Sophie McShera, Lesley Nicol and Allen Leech for exhibition reception on Friday.

Showcasing her red carpet fashion, Michelle oozed glamour as she stepped out in a knee-length shift dress which featured eye-catching crystal detailing around the neckline.

The news comes after Michelle revealed she considers herself a widow – two years after her fiance died of cancer.

'I’ve never been more committed to anything in my life than to him,’ she revealed in an interview yesterday.

‘I don’t have the vocabulary to describe what it felt like and what it still feels like. I refer to myself as a widow, yes. We were engaged, and married at heart, and so I do consider myself a widow.’

Michelle and John Dineen, an Irish public relations director, were engaged for a year before he died aged 34.

To add to her grief as he battled the disease, Dockery’s character in Downton, Lady Mary Crawley, also lost her husband.

'One of the difficult things at the time was the parallels with Mary,’ said the actress, 'It was just baffling, and still is to me, that my character’s storyline was so similar.’
