Elizabeth McGovern can add 'catwalk model' to her expansive list of accomplishments. Making a splash at London Fashion Week, the actress ruled the runway at Burberry's winter show on Monday night.

On a star-studded evening, Elizabeth walked in front of an A-list crowd, including Brooklyn Beckham, Nicola Peltz, Jodie Turner-Smith, Princess Maria-Olympia of Greece, and Geri Halliwell-Horner.

On 15 February, the mum-of-two was pictured at the Charles Finch & Chanel Pre-BAFTA Dinner, which was held in a private members' club in Mayfair. Dressed to the nines, Elizabeth made an elegant appearance in a decadent velvet suit, which consisted of a cherry red blazer and tailored trousers.
Away from London's social scene, Elizabeth has also entered the post-production phase of Downton Abbey 3, after returning to the set last summer. Back in July, the cast and crew were pictured shooting at Ripon Racecourse in north Yorkshire.

Meanwhile, Elizabeth – who famously plays their mother, Cora Crawley, Countess of Grantham – was snapped wearing a sky-blue silk dress and a cream wide-brimmed hat.
According to reports, the shoot at Ripon Racecourse took place over four days, with the main cast and hundreds of extras watching a horse race. Allen Leech, Nathan Wiley and Hugh Bonneville were also on hand to film scenes.
Currently, Downton Abbey 3 is slated for release on September 12, 2025, so it won't be long until Elizabeth and her co-stars embark on a promotional circuit. During the UK premiere of Twisters last year, Harry Hadden-Paton – aka Herbert "Bertie" Pelham – told HELLO! that the film would be "bigger and better than before".

Asked what it's been like reuniting with his cast members, Harry told HELLO!: "It's wonderful, it's like putting on an old pair of slippers. Everyone knows everyone so well. We've all been through quite a lot together so there are no surprises. It's easy and we're all very grateful for it. It's a joy to have a chance to get together again."
