Wow. Who knew that the head maid from Downton Abbey, Anna Bates, looked like this underneath layers and layers of servant frock?

Joanne Froggatt, the actress playing Anna in the critically acclaimed series, made sure to look absolutely 21st century, and she pulled it off with insanely high-flying colors.

Is Joanne Froggatt tall?

No, she’s not. The average height for an adult woman in England is around 5ft 4in (162.5 cm). Therefore, Joanne Froggatt’s height of 5ft 2in (157.5 cm) is slightly below the average height for an English woman.

“I really enjoy dressing up – or at least I do once I’ve found an outfit. You’ve got a date in the diary and you’ve got to get something. Because I’m quite small [she’s 5ft 2in], sample sizes when you borrow things are often too big for me, but once I’ve got the dress it is really good fun,” she told Daily Mail in 2010.

In September 2013, the then 33-year-old popped up on the blue carpet for the London premiere of ‘Filth’ at the Odeon West End dressed up in a very current Hervé Léger bandage dress.

Thanks to its busy textures, lines, shapes, and colors, the actress had little need to wear jewelry to accompany the dress. The bandage dress clung to Joanne’s figure nicely, showing off a gorgeous hourglass silhouette.

Whoever said horizontal stripes add extra pounds clearly has not seen this dress.

Joanne styled her Hervé Léger with a Jimmy Choo calf leather clutch and a pair of the infamous curved-heeled shoes from Walter Steiger.

We think this dress is absolutely gorgeous, but we’re not quite sure if it’s an appropriate pick for the event. For one, its hues are quite dark, almost sad, which doesn’t really help a celebrity stand out, especially at night.

We’re huge fans of the dress’ cut and construction, though. Still, Joanne could have gone for a brighter pick to match her shocking show of golden tresses. Overall, it was a good look but one that was very safe.

Joanne’s bandage dress has unfortunately sold out, but you can find the latest from Hervé Léger at SSENSE and Revolve.
