The actress, 37, certainly turned heads in a perilously plunging white trouser suit and heels, as she attended the screening of her new show at the Tribeca TV Festival in New York City.

The six-part drama looks at both sides of the story before revealing the truth of what happened.
In the most recent episode, viewers were left on the edge of their seats when Laura broke into her rival’s home to search for incriminating evidence.
The blonde told a TV critics’ meeting earlier this summer that she loved playing the kind-hearted Anna in Downton Abbey, but admitted: ‘It’s nice to play the baddie sometimes, too!’

She later explained to Deadline that she enjoyed playing real people with imperfections, after years as the same role on the ITV period drama.
‘I like to play flawed people,’ she said. ‘We’re all flawed to a greater or lesser degree and I always want to do things that are different from the things I’ve done. I loved Anna Bates, she was a lovely character to play for six years.’
Whether or not Laura ends up the bad girl in Liar remains to be seen, but Joanne did reveal her character makes questionable choices for the duration of the show.
