Yea, Nay, Or Eh: Carey Mulligan’s Photo Finish

February 8, 2010  3:51 pm

One of the photographic-print looks from Miuccia Prada’s Spring show has been at the top of our must-buy list—along with a pair of her swishy-crystal Lucite sandals, might we add—but we’re not surprised that the kitschy prints haven’t yet been embraced by Hollywood A-listers. Technicolor beaches and lounging vacationers are hard to pull off, and the lure of the more conventional-skewing Best-Dressed List is hard to resist. So kudos to Carey Mulligan for having the guts to rock this playful frock at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival this weekend. We think her gamine looks perfectly suit Prada’s latest collection. What do you think? Does Mulligan shine here, or are you too busy staring at the beachgoers on her skirt?

  4. Yes, she looks great. The right shoes, earrings, and clutch to go with the dress. Everything goes together. Well done.

  5. i think it was a nice choice and looks fine - the mighty ms. prada’s sometimes tongue-in-cheek stylings may pass the average american millionaire by entirely - i think the learned writer appreciates that the prints weren’t meant to be kitschy and don’t look it, more part of ms. prada’s ongoing social commentary …..; still, i’m not crazy about the prints personally !! \,,/ twitter

  7. Please, tell me there is a Judith Leiber confection i the shape of … a cake, or one of those round, striped lollipops, to put this costume in the right mood!

    Perhaps just one time, then and there, it was OK, like wearing one’s own cartoon on a dress shirt. Almost anything goes once.

  8. She looks adorable.

  9. I think it looks suprisingly good here. I’m not a fan of this collection, it just doesn’t work for me. But on this girl it looks good.
