It looks like Lady Edith could become more comfortable with her sexy side when Downton Abbey returns ever since Laura Carmichael made a revealing appearance at the Glamour of Italian Fashion exhibition.

Cora Crawley To Become More Sexually Confident?

On Thursday, Express posted photos of Carmichael (who plays Edith) at the event where she didn't seem afraid to show her curves. The actress was wearing a dress with a leather jacket that showed off the center of her chest with a good amount of her cleavage exposed.

The site mentioned that the actress ended up taking off her jacket at one point; Carmichael likely bared more skin at that point, showing off her confidence to be herself.

This creates some speculation if Lady Edith will become more of a femme fatale when the fifth season of Downton Abbey returns especially since Carmichael's interview with The West Australian. The actress pointed out that her character's relationship with Gregson will likely lead down a dangerous path.

"She takes some risks with Gregson; she's out with this married man and that causes a lot of drama to come, therefore she doesn't quite get away with it all," Carmichael said.

It also looks like Carmichael may bring her sultry side to her character now that Lady Edith is apparently going to be thinking for herself.

"I think it is great, she has really sort of matured and is doing things she wants to, rather than the things she has to, which is really fun to play," the actress said.

Downton Abbey Season 5 is expected to premiere in January 2015.
