The Downtown designer also revealed we should specifically look out for the ballgowns during the large ball scene of the film, admitting: "seeing all the ballgowns together, as an ensemble, it's really successful and is something I am really proud of." Lady Mary, Violet, and of course, the Queen all wore Anna's favourite gowns in this particular scene. "It may just be the fact that an actress wears a locket that has been gifted to her that we actually never see because of the neckline she is wearing but its there just in case we do get a glimpse of it because of its an important piece to that character."

Speaking to HELLO! she revealed that she often hides little style touches that the every-day viewer may not notice: "I could have a codebook for the Downton series to point them out for everybody who watches," she revealed.

The one moment that stands out to Anna was on the first day of filming for the Downtown Abbey movie when Laura Carmicheal damaged her dress: "She put her foot through the hem! But it was dealt with and you didn't see it on camera and so there's no real harm done."Īnna has her own little secrets when it comes to designing for Downton, too. The cast of Downton have had their fair share of costume casualties too: "Quite often you'll be filming and you'll hear the scatter of beads and a necklace might have gone, then you've got a minute to re-thread it before they want to go again," Anna tells us.

Anna reveals that the items that actors always tend to run off with are their wedding bands - oops! "Actors sometimes leave in a rush and then you get a frantic phone call from their driver saying, 'she's got her tiara on!' or 'she's forgotten to take her wedding band off!!' - always a big one because they can feel quite natural and not that obvious."

Anna reveals that the luxury jewellery brand loaned "a few carats of diamonds" worth of tiaras to the ITV drama that were "kept under serious lock and key." Having to be kept locked in a safe while not being used, Anna also had extra hands to help her protect the jewels: "I had one of my costume assistants whose sole responsibility was to follow around and make sure they were never taken off or left in the make-up trailer at the end of the day." The designer also spoke of drawing a "huge amount of visual reference" from the royal family so we can only imagine the diamond price tag!Īnna admits another risky business in the costume-wardrobe world is when the actors take a liking to certain costume pieces: "You have to keep a beady eye on the cast members who you know might be sort of favouring a certain thing," she admits.

We all know that celebrities get accompanied down the red carpet by bodyguards in order to protect expensive jewels, and when Bentley and Skinner lent original diamond tiaras to Downton it wasn't a dissimilar affair.
