Elizabeth added height to her petite frame with chunky heeled boots while toting a handbag across her body.
The star wore her raven locks in a short bob and displayed her beauty with deep red lipstick. Finishing the look with a touch of sparkle, she accessorised with gold rings.
It comes as she is set to appear in the hotly awaited Downton Abbey film.
Last week, Elizabeth told how it felt like the cast had 'never left' when they got together to shoot the film and likened them to a 'family'.

The actress, who plays Cora Crawley, Countess of Grantham on the series, spoke to Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby on This Morning to discuss the movie.
She said: 'Well it felt like we'd never left, it was amazing, I mean it really is a bit like a family, we've been through so much together and you just slot right back in, all the old dynamics just resume and we march on.'
The film is scheduled to be released on September 13 in the UK and the cast and crew have not ruled out a sequel.

Elizabeth said: 'All doors are always left open is as much as I can say so we'll see.' The film is set in 1927 and features a visit to Downton Abbey by King George V and Queen Mary.
Elizabeth told how she felt like 'no time had passed' since the events of the series.
She said: 'I think so, it's certainly our intention, I haven’t seen it yet but it is for the fans it is for the people who stayed for the show, loved getting to know the characters.

'It's not that much farther forward, we're at the same milieu, the house hasn't changed much. I felt like no time has passed.'
Geraldine James will star as Queen Mary while Simon Jones will portray King George V. The first trailer for the film was released on Tuesday, giving fans their first glimpse at what they can expect.
The trailer opens with Lord Grantham (Hugh Bonneville) asking his mother the Dowager Countess of Grantham (Maggie Smith) if she wants to stay for dinner, remarking 'it's a buffet.'

The family matriarch is unsure though, exclaiming 'well I'm not changed,' only to be told she just needs to take off her hat for such a low-key occasion. 'You talk as if that were easy.' she quips.
As the words 'They live like royalty but are they ready for the real thing?' flash up on screen, Lord Grantham is seen getting important post, revealing to his family 'Heavens, the King and Queen are coming to stay,' while his mother predicts 'here we go.'
It's a flurry of activity as both upstairs and downstairs prepare for the regal visit. 'A royal luncheon, a parade and a dinner? I'm going to have to sit down,' declares cook Mrs Patmore (Lesley Nicol).
