Michelle Dockery in Erdem at the 2014 British Fashion Awards

We wonder if she’d have picked this dress knowing the backdrop was going to be a giant fake hedge.

Because we kinda feel like we’re looking at a salute to foliage.

Great dress, though. Kudos to her for picking it. She used to be so safe in her choices but this is head-turning and interesting. Not crazy about the hem length. And black pumps seem lazy somehow, although we’re not sure what type of shoe we’d rather see there. Also not in love with the hair. Girl, that’s Sienna Miller’s hair. You do best with the polished and the sleek, not the tousled and the messy.

Here’s your mid-day time waster: rethink the accessories. What kind of shoes, what kind of bag and what kind of jewelry would take this look somewhere better?
