'Peaky Blinders': Four times Helen McCrory's Aunt Polly absolutely rocked it in the show with all her '20s jazz

She has been the matriarch, the victim, the mother, and the slayer, but each time Polly made sure that she looked absolutely flawless

BBC One's 'Peaky Blinders' has been hailed every now and then for its genuine, yet flamboyant depiction of the fashion of the '20s. Be it the bob-cut hair, the silk costumes, or the sequenced furs, the women of the show have absolutely nailed it with their looks, but no one could do it as convincingly as Helen McCrory's character, Polly Grey. As the matriarch of the Shelby family, Polly has been handling the business ever since the men were out for business and, even when they returned, she continued to hold her place as the company's treasurer. 

While we impatiently wait for the return of Season 5, let's take a look at four times Polly absolutely rocked in the last four seasons.
