Joanne Froggatt turns on the charm in an exquisite blue strapless dress

She's been putting her best fashionable foot forward at various events this awards season.

And Joanne Froggatt didn't disappoint on Sunday night as she worked her charm once again, this time at the Critics' Choice Awards in Santa Monica, California.

The 35-year-old actress looked a world away from her Downton Abbey alter-ego Anne Bates as she put on a show-stopping display in a glittery blue column gown.

Joanne Froggatt may have started her career on the cobbles of Coronation Street but she's a fully fledged Hollywood starlet these days thanks to her break out role in Downton Abbey.

And she seems very at home during awards season rocking fabulous gowns by designers like Reem Acra, J Mendel, Stella McCartney, Victoria Beckham and Ermanno Scervino. Not bad for Anna the maid!

Last night at the Critics' Choice Awards she once again wowed us in a strapless creation by Roland Mouret another of Joanne's favourite labels. We love the shimmering blue silk while the dramatic frill at the back ensures everyone will be watching as she walks away.

The good news for fans of Ms Froggatt, and her style, is this floor length dress is available to buy now. Click (right) to snap it up at Farfetch and wear with metallic high heel sandals and a matching clutch.

Or get the look for less with one of the similar styles we've found below.

The strapless garment was cut straight across her decolletage, allowing a hint at her cleavage, while making the most of her slim and toned arms and shoulders.

As she turned to pose for the cameras, the British beauty showed off the back of the gown, complete with a long ruched ruffle down the back, giving it an almost mermaid-style vibe.

She kept it simple with dainty diamond earrings and a chic box clutch with a metallic sheen.

And she wore her golden blonde locks in a seriously elegant low ponytail, curled flawlessly with the front of her hair coiffed into a retro elevated quiff.

She pulled her entire look together with a ravishing smoky eye and a deep shade of pink on her lips.

Although Joanne wasn't nominated on the night, she still managed to steal attention while enjoying her time on the red carpet, one of her many appearances at the busy awards season this year.

Last week she stepped out at the Golden Globes, which saw her nominated for a gong for her role in the hit British period drama, but she missed out on the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress – Series, Miniseries or Television Film prize.

Meanwhile, Joanne recently revealed she has relocated to the US from the UK to focus on a career in Hollywood.

Speaking exclusively to The Daily Mail ahead of the Golden Globes, she confessed that she and husband James Cannon had made the move recently.

'We've taken the plunge and done it. Last Tuesday we rented out our house for six months, boarded a flight to Los Angeles and here we are,' she said.

'We're actually homeless. We're living in a hotel until we can find ourselves somewhere to rent out here. We have some feelers out and we're assembling a list of places to view.

'I have no jobs lined up in Hollywood but there are so many opportunities to be had. We're going to have a little bit of a break first and then plunge right in and see what's out there. I won't be here forever.

'My home is in England. I just want to see what happens.'
