For Episode 2 of Series 30 of The Graham Norton Show, Graham welcomed Downton Abbey star Hugh Bonneville to talk about his memoir Playing Under the Piano. Oscar-nominated actress Lesley Manville appeared to chat about her comedy-drama Mrs Harris Goes to Paris. Graham greeted English actress Lashana Lynch, famous for Captain Marvel and James Bond, to promote her new film The Woman King. TV Chef Big Zuu came on the show, and British Eurovision star Sam Ryder performed his latest single, Somebody. Let's take a look at some of the outfits from this week's show.
Graham Norton
Graham kicked off episode two of his new season with a typically flamboyant outfit. His olive-brown slim-fitting single-breasted notch lapel suit was paired with a clashing spread collar purple shirt. The collar of the shirt was two shades of purple, one on either side, and set off his mismatched dark blue tie with yellow, white, and blue flowers perfectly.
Hugh Bonneville
Hugh Bonneville is an English actor best known for playing the Earl of Grantham in the historical television drama Downton Abbey and the films Downton Abbey and Downton Abbey: A New Era. He has also appeared in Notting Hill, Iris, The Monuments Men, and the Paddington films.
On the show, Hugh donned a classic navy blue tweed three-piece suit but gave it a casual twist by pairing it with a white crew neck t-shirt instead of the traditional shirt and tie.
In this clip, Hugh chats about Downton Abbey's importance for his career and explains why Paddington is rated PG rather than U.
Lesley Manville
English actress Lesley Manville is famous for her many collaborations with director Mike Leigh in films such as Grown-Ups, High Hopes, Secrets & Lies, Topsy-Turvy, All or Nothing, Vera Drake, Another Year, and Mr Turner. Her other notable films include Maleficent, Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, and Let Him Go. Manville is known for extensive television work, including Emmerdale, Cranford, Fleming: The Man Who Would Be Bond, River, and Mum.
During her interview, Lesley looked elegant in a floor-length black striped overdress with a kimono style belt to accentuate her waist and slim-fitting cream-coloured trousers. The dress had a turtle neck, flowy slit sleeves and sides with raw hems and sheer black panels showing a glimpse of the black camisole that was tucked into her trousers. She styled her hair in a wavy bob and accessorised with gold drop earrings.
This clip shows Lesley telling a story about how Dame Judy Dench made her laugh so hard that she wet herself on stage!
Lashana Lynch
Lashana Lynch is an English actress known for playing Rosaline Capulet in Still Star-Crossed, Maria Rambeau in Captain Marvel and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and MI6 agent Nomi in the James Bond film No Time to Die. She won the BAFTA Rising Star award in 2022.
On the Programme, Lashana dressed in a white shirt with a noteworthy lace-up front closure. Over the top, she wore a black ribbed pinafore-style top. She combined the ensemble with an ankle-length full black skirt gathered at the waist with a black leather belt. With her shaved hair and multiple gold earrings, the outfit gave a fashionable female pirate!
