Super Bowl: David Beckham's H&M Campaign Is Revealed (Video)

David Beckham's highly anticipated H&M campaign has arrived, and between the two "action-packed spots" fans could vote for, they've chosen to see Beckham #Uncovered.

VIDEOS: Super Bowl: The Most Talked About Commercials

Of the two versions -- one titled "#Covered" and the other "#Uncovered" -- the latter came out ahead in fan voting and premiered during the Super Bowl. It showed the soccer superstar heading into a photo shoot, assumedly without any clothing based on the photographers' shocked faces.

H&M had previously posted a behind-the-scenes short on Jan. 23 that featured Beckham running barefoot, leaping from buildings and performing other stunts in the brand's bodywear collection.

"He's a magnet -- you very much move toward him," said director Nicolas Winding Refn (Drive, Only God Forgives) of Beckham in the short. "I needed to have David do all his own stunts. It always had to be David, even if it meant running on roofs, or jumping or climbing hundreds of feet up in the air."

Viewers who watched the commercial from Samsung Smart TVs could directly purchase the promo's featured pieces, making it the first shoppable ad on TV.

Dress du Jour, 'Downton Abbey' Edition: Michelle Dockery's Lady Mary Sparkles in Green

The Dress: A lovely green, beaded slim dress, designed by costumer designer Caroline McCall, who works with her team to bring the show's to-die-for wardrobes to the small screen.

The Wearer: Lady Mary Crawley, played by Michelle Dockery.

STORY: Lady Mary's 'Downton Abbey' Wedding Tiara for Rent

The Event: Dinner at Downton -- it's always a dressy affair.

Why We Dig: Lady Mary looks perfectly -- for lack of a better word -- ladylike in this green number. The top half of the dress is light brown with a dark green panel embellished with floral beading draped over its center. The intricate design is complemented by a dainty black beaded necklace and an upswept hairdo to keep the focus on the beadwork. The bottom half of the dress is also beaded, though it is a bit more simple, keeping the attention up top. Here, Mary is the epitome of elegance.

Offscreen, we love Dockery's style as well. Living about one hundred years after her character (the series began with the sinking of the Titanic in 1912), Dockery is elegant in her own right. A recent example: Dockery stunned in a black-and-white J. Mendel gown with a plunging neckline and high slit at the 2014 SAG Awards. The look, complete with bold red lips and sideswept bangs, was sexy while still remaining elegant and classy.

Mary or Michelle? Now, that's the eternal question. For the time being, we're seeing green. But that could easily change. It is awards season after all.
