Like watching through the eyes of the awestruck staff, the camera pans up from Myrna's white heels to her platinum finger waves as she stomps into Downton. "She looks to me almost like an ice queen," says Meschede.
"If you look at the jewelry and costumes of the 'Downton' characters, especially the upstairs aristocratic ladies, it's so match, match, match," says Meschede. "I wanted [Myrna] to be a bit louder and mismatching, like 'Here I am!'"

Meschede connected each staffer's "The Gambler" costume with their Downton uniforms — blues for Mrs. Hughes, champagne for Mrs. Patmore.
