Don't Miss:

It was truly high tea yesterday at the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills, where some of Hollywood’s biggest names came out to celebrate awards season with the British Academy of Film and Television Arts with an extra dose of British flair—the menu featured scones and cucumber tea sandwiches, and floral centerpieces were housed in London phone booth and teapot vases. Les Miserables stars Anne Hathaway and (InStyle cover girl) Amanda Seyfried (in VNA) joined in the celebrations, and Hathaway paid homage to the United Kingdom with her choice of designers for the event. “I’m honoring the country of our hosts! I’m wearing Stella McCartney accessories—a handbag and my shoes,” Hathaway told InStyle.com. “And I’m wearing a Victoria Beckham dress.” The annual BAFTA tea party soiree is held to wish luck to everyone nominated during Awards Season, including tonight’s Golden Globes and the BAFTA Awards, which take place February 10. Michelle Dockery (in Stella McCartney), star of Britain’s most popular show, Downton Abbey, also attended.

The ladies of Downton Abbey always look buttoned up and classy, but they have a fashion trick up their sleeves—or, shall we say, under their dresses. “When it’s raining, we wear Ugg boots underneath our dresses,” Michelle Dockery (who plays Lady Mary Crawley) told InStyle.com. “It’s not always as glamorous as it may seem!” Could she have worn them down the aisle when Mary wed Matthew Crawley (Dan Stevens), along with her hand-crafted gown and custom-made tiara? Now that’s a pairing! Tune in to see what Dockery, Maggie Smith (Violet Crawley), and Elizabeth McGovern (Countess Cora) are all up to when the critically-acclaimed show returns to PBS on Sunday, January 6, at 9/8 c.

A period drama with some of our favorite leading Brits? Count us in! Restless, a two-part miniseries on the Sundance Channel, premieres tonight at 9pm EST and will conclude with its final part December 14. The series stars Downton Abbey’s Michelle Dockery, Hayley Atwell, and Charlotte Rampling, and tells the thrilling story of a daughter who discovers that her mother was recruited as a British spy during World War II. It takes place in two different time periods, one in the 1940s with Hayley Atwell’s character, Eva, and then 30 years later in 1976 with Charlotte Rampling as the older version of Eva and Michelle Dockery as her daughter, Ruth. As Ruth (Dockery) unravels the truth about her mother’s past, we get to see all of the action unfold through the young Eva (Atwell), who takes on various wartime assignments all over the world as a member of the British Secret Service. “What I love about the film is that there are moments when the young Eva and Ruth kind of run parallel with each other,” Dockery told the Sundance Channel about her and Hayley Atwell’s story lines. Tune in tonight at 9pm EST on Sundance and click through for some fun facts about the miniseries, including details on Michelle Dockery’s 70s wardrobe!

Emmys night isn’t the only time when the stars party! The weekend is full of fetes toasting to the small-screen, with HBO, Entertainment Weekly, Variety, and the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences among those hosting events. “It takes a village,” Julia Louis-Dreyfus (in Tadashi Shoji) told InStyle.com of getting ready for the marathon weekend. “I’m ill-equipped for it!” She was joking, of course, because she capped off her 72-hour whirlwind by walking away with the Best Actress in a Comedy award for her role in HBO’s Veep. Click through to see more of the biggest names to grace the Emmys bashes—including The Mindy Project’s Mindy Kaling, New Girl’s Zooey Deschanel, Downton Abbey’s Michelle Dockery, Mad Men’s Elisabeth Moss, and Parks and Recreation’s Amy Poehler!
