The mysterious rock chick on today’s cover is Downton Abbey’s Jessica Brown Findlay — as you’ve never seen her before.

The 24-year-old played Lady Sybil Crawley in the ITV costume drama, which she left in 2012 to pursue a Hollywood movie career. She revealed a dramatic new look on the front cover of September’s Tatler.

She told the magazine she was “desperate” to get into theatre, but was finally comfortable in her own skin. She said: “When I was growing up, I always felt quite odd and offbeat. I never really slotted in.

“And it’s as you get older that you realise that the things that make you strange are the things that make you who you are. And that’s a lovely place to get to.”
