Sophie McShera of Downton Abbey, in character as Daisy, and in a civilian-clothes photoshoot. From Papermag’s gallery of Downton Abbey characters in and out of costume.
Some of these are real shocks. Siobhan Finneran (O’Brien) and Phyllis Logan (Mrs Hughes) are the big ones, and right up there as well is Jim Carter (Carson), not so much because he looks different as, well—you’ll see.

It’s always slightly disorienting to me to see the Downton Abbey ladies in modern dresses (even modern dresses that are clearly paying homage to the fashions of the early 20th century). And Laura Carmichael (Edith) is almost unrecognizable here.
