She shot to fame playing the aristocratic Lady Mary Crawley in the hugely-popular British period drama Downton Abbey.

But Michelle Dockery looked worlds away from her high society alter-ego in new promotional shots for Netflix's epic seven-part western series Godless, set in New Mexico.

The actress, 35, traded in her corsets and expensive jewels in favour of a gun and cowboy boots.

Michelle looked every bit the western lady in a large hat and long black skirt, with her costume also featuring a bandana scarf.

Other images display the vast New Mexico landscape where the series is set and show Michelle gazing out into the distance with fellow British actor, Jack O'Connell, 27, close by her.

Steven Soderbergh, who is known for dramas such as Traffic and Oceans 11, will executive produce the epic historical series.

Stellar cast: Godless being helmed as Netflix's first-ever limited series and also stars Jeff Daniels and Jack O'Connell

The show, set to air on the streaming service on November 22, is being helmed as Netflix's first-ever limited series and also stars Jeff Daniels, 62.

The series is about notorious criminal Frank Griffin (Daniels) and his gang of outlaws are on a mission of revenge against Roy Goode (O’Connell), a son-like protégé who betrayed the brotherhood.

While on the run, Roy seeks refuge with hardened widower Alice Fletcher (Dockery), an outcast herself, in a worn-down, isolated mining town of La Belle, NM, governed mainly by women.

When word reaches La Belle that Griffin is headed their way, the town bands together to defend against the murderous gang in a lawless western frontier.

In an interview with Vogue back in May, Michelle reveals just how different her latest role is to her breakout character of Lady Mary in the iconic ITV drama.

'The first thing we all did when we arrived was to go on cowboy camp,' Michelle recalls of her time on set.

'I remember when I shot a gun – the adrenaline was crazy. On Downton Abbey we had the shooting parties, but the women just stood back and wore a nice outfit and assisted the men.'

'People are calling it a feminist western. It was a joy to work with so many women.'

Although Michelle is trading in her heels for boots, she could soon be revisiting the aristocratic character that made her famous.

The film version of Downton Abbey was greenlit back in May with production slated to begin in September.

A source told The Sun newspaper: 'Film bosses have requested the services of crew members and accountants to work on the picture.

'A budget has been set and now it’s a case of getting everything in place to start shooting. It would take something big to stop the project from happening now.'

Discussing the secrecy surrounding the project, Downton creator Julian Fellowes, quipped: 'There is a film script which we’ve all been sent but then it disappeared Mission Impossible style from our emails.'
