Michelle Dockery’S Hidden Passion Spills Out In Her Chic West London Pad

Michelle Dockery’s LA-Meets-London Vibe

Stepping into Michelle Dockery’s West London home is like walking onto a set that blends the elegance of Downton Abbey with a splash of Hollywood glitz. Known for her role as the sharp and sophisticated Lady Mary, the British actress, 43, lives in a space that’s as timelessly chic as her on-screen persona. Sharing this stunning abode with her producer husband, Jasper Waller-Bridge, Michelle recently gave Architectural Digest a rare peek inside her world - and trust us, it’s got that SoCal summer energy mixed with old-world charm.

While you might expect nothing but vintage tea sets and aristocratic vibes, Michelle dropped a bombshell that’s pure LA drama. Turns out, she’s got a not-so-secret obsession with Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Yep, this proper Brit can’t get enough of the 90210 chaos, and she’s got the memorabilia to prove it!

A Red Carpet Moment for the Ages

In her home office, Michelle proudly displays a framed photo of herself and Downton co-star Laura Carmichael alongside RHOBH OG Kyle Richards. This black-and-white snapshot, taken on a red carpet straight outta Hollywood, is one of her most treasured possessions. It’s a testament to her fangirl status - and honestly, who wouldn’t be starstruck in Kyle’s presence?

“Meeting Kyle Richards was hands-down the most surreal moment of my career - I just had to drag Laura back onto the carpet for that pic!”

Placed next to Downton keepsakes like a toy dog from a pivotal scene and a bound script from the show’s debut episode, this photo is a quirky nod to Michelle’s love for both her British roots and her Cali TV guilty pleasures.

Designing with a Downton Flair

Michelle’s knack for style isn’t just acting - she’s been hooked on interior design since she was a kid sneaking peeks into friends’ homes under the guise of needing the bathroom. “I’ve always been nosy about how people live,” she admitted with a laugh. Her West London pad reflects that lifelong curiosity, with every corner curated to perfection, much like a Malibu beach house meets an English manor.

Her love for aesthetics even spilled onto the Downton set, where she’d geek out over the set designers’ color choices - often straight from the Farrow & Ball palette. It’s no surprise her home has that same meticulous vibe, blending modern chic with nods to her heritage.

Lady Mary Lives On in Heirlooms

If you thought Michelle left Lady Mary behind, think again. Her home is sprinkled with Downton-esque touches, like an antique cabinet inherited from her grandmother, stuffed with polished silverware she shines herself for Christmas and special occasions. “It’s the most Downton thing I own,” she confessed, and we can just imagine her hosting a holiday feast fit for Highclere Castle.

Another standout piece is a gorgeous photo of Michelle on horseback, snapped by Nick Briggs during the first season of Downton Abbey. It’s a reminder of her iconic role, blending seamlessly with the personal touches that make her West London home a true reflection of both her past and her unexpected passions - from British period drama to Beverly Hills catfights.
