A Downton Abbey star looks completely unrecognisable in a first look at Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight's new BBC drama.<\/p>\n
Michelle Dockery looks worlds apart from her elegant character, Lady Mary Crawley, in the first released pictures of an upcoming series.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
The actress, who is known for starring in ITV's Downton Abbey and recently marrying Phoebe Waller Bridge's brother Jasper, has been cast in BBC's time period drama, This Town.<\/p>\n
In the first-look pictures of This Town, Michelle, 41, looked unidentifiable as she channelled a punk rock look, wearing a retro T-shirt while applying a fuschia lipstick in a compact mirror, which clashed with her bold pink eyeshadow.<\/p>\n
Instead of rocking her iconic sleek brown bob, her new character sported long, wavy, chic hair with a heavy fringe, while her arms were adorned with various trinkets and bracelets.<\/p>\n
She looked worlds away from the graceful Lady Mary's prim and proper attire and her usual elegant outfit choices.<\/p>\n
According to the synopsis, This Town tells the story of a band's formation against a backdrop of violence, capturing how creative genius can emerge from a time of madness.<\/p>\n The 1981 drama is 'set in a world of family ties, teenage kicks and the exhilarating music of a generation.<\/p>\n The BBC wrote: "This Town tells the story of a band's formation set against a backdrop of violence mixing in a story of an extended family drawn into the world of ska and two tone."<\/p>\n Marcella's Nicholas Pinnock, Woman King's Jordan Bolger, The Last Kingdom actor David Dawson, and Back To Life star Geraldine James will also star in the upcoming series.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Michelle is no rookie to drastically change her looks to play a character.<\/p>\n She has previously donned a red wig to play a con artist for a US TV show titled Good Behaviour and transformed into a barrister for Anatomy of a Scandal.<\/p>\n Most recently, she was cast in another exciting role in an upcoming movie adaptation of Richard McGuire's graphic novel of the same name, Here, featuring Tom Hanks.<\/p>\n A trailer for This Town is yet to be released.<\/p>\n<\/picture>LULU'S TEARS <\/span><\/p>\n
