'Downton Abbey' Stars, In and Out of Costume

After more than five years on the small screen, Downton Abbey aired its final episode Sunday night. The British historical drama about the comings and goings at Yorkshire's Downton Abbey found its U.S. home on PBS in 2011, airing six seasons on the network. During that time, the drama won 12 Emmy Awards, earning acclaim for stars including Emmy winner Maggie Smith. In honor of Downton Abbey's final bow, see the cast in their costumes and in real life, ahead.
