Downton Abbey actresses Michelle Dockery and Jessica Brown Findlay were among the winners at the Glamour Women of the Year Awards.

Dockery, who plays Lady Mary in the ITV costume drama, was honoured with the Editor’s Special Award and hailed as an ambassador both for British acting talent and British style.

Jo Elvin, editor of Glamour, said: "Downton Abbey is a beloved smash both here and in the States, with the bulging award cabinet to prove it. And how many young actresses could really hold their own in scene after scene with Maggie Smith?

"Michelle Dockery is a great actress who we'll also soon see in the BBC's Shakespeare season and the film, Anna Karenina. Of course, this being Glamour, we also love that she is a great style ambassador for Britain."

Brown Findlay was named UK TV Actress of the Year for her performance as Lady Sybil, and joked about a recent encounter with a Hollywood fan.

“The craziest moment was when I met Tom Hanks at a Bafta event in LA,” she said. “Halfway through the conversation, he got really embarrassed because he suddenly realised I was Lady Sybil. He kept apologising and saying, ‘You’re Lady Sybil! I love you!”
